Denisovans May Have Interbred With Mysterious Group of Ancient Humans

John Bavaro Fine Arts/Science Photo For only the second time, researchers have obtained the full genome of a Denisovan, a group of ancient humans who lived in Asia. The DNA was extracted from a single 200,000-year-old tooth found in a Siberian cave.The genome reveals that there were at least three populations of Denisovans, with different histories. It also shows that early Denisovans interbred with an unidentified group of ancient humans........Continue reading.... By: Michael […]

Do you want to know how the structure of the rock record affects your reconstructions of #biodiversity, #evolution rates or trait evolution? The groundwork for doing this has been laid down in the field of #StratigraphicPaleobiology but until now no software tools have been available to researchers in #paleobiology and #geoscience to evaluate distortion of their #FossilRecord.

Join the webinar on Building modeling pipelines for stratigraphic paleobiology in #RSoftware by my PhD student @Niklas_Hohmann in the Paleoverse lecture series hhttps://palaeoverse.org/lectures this Thursday at 4 PM UTC to learn how to use the new package StratPal developed in my European Research Council (ERC) project #MindTheGap

You can find the package with extensive documentation here: https://mindthegap-erc.github.io/StratPal/
More on the project: https://mindthegap-erc.github.io/

If you are interested in working with us on #StratigraphicPaleobiology, structure of the fossil record, and development of #OpenSource research software, please get in touch!
