#Denisovan News It appears that the Harbin 'Dragon Man' (formerly "Homo longi") is a Denisovan (!), based on ancient proteins extracted from the skull, confirming previous comparative studies. What does this mean? We may finally have the first nearly complete Denisovan skull.

Funny how actually genetically diverse chimps are compared to humans. All due to the Founder Effect and human bottlenecks going back to 800.000 years ago.

Ateneo de Manila researchers are pointing to the large evidence of Pleistocene sea navigation in Wallacea (Island SE Asia). For years archaeologists thought early migrations were only possible due to accidental island hopping during low sea levels.

String-figures, a traditional practice across continents, which may have deep roots, and could be interpreted as an early form of mathematical thinking in human evolution. In Indonesia, Oceanian string figures are found in parts of Papua, such as Yapen.
