#Denisovan radius (bone) discovered for first time in Southwest #Chinaresearchers employed a novel proteomic strategy to identify additional #hominin bones from a Paleolithic site called Bianfu Cave in Yunnan Province. #Paleoproteomic analysis confirmed five hominin remains as #Denisovans, helping fill the distribution gap of Denisovans in Southwest China.

#Lucy is one of the most famous fossils in #paleoanthropology. Discovered in 1974 in #Ethiopia, she is a partial skeleton of an early #hominin species, #Australopithecus afarensis, dating back around 3.2 million years. Her anatomy reveals a mix of ape-and human-like traits, providing crucial insights into the evolutionary path that led to modern #humans. I was lucky enough to see her replica at the #SenckenbergMuseum in #Frankfurt:

Mystery hominin skull discovered in 1960 dated to at least 286,000 years old
A mystery in human evolution may be close to being solved, thanks to a new study by the Institut de Paléontologie Humaine in France. A nearly complete cranium discovered in 1960 inside the Petralona Cave in northern Greece has defied all efforts at identification and precise dating for several decades...More info: https://archaeologymag.com/2025/08/petralona-skull-discovered-in-1960/

New article out today in #Scientific #Data: Lewandowski et al. (2025) present the #Apemen #Faces #Database (#ApeFD)!
620 #hominin faces, with #morphometric data + "vibe check" (#threat, #sociability, #trustworthiness... you name it).Researchers can use this #open dataset to explore questions on #ocular #morphology, social perception, facial morphology, and even applications in cross-disciplinary fields such as #primatology, #cultural #anthropology, and media studies. Go wild, use it in your research, and e-mail us if you have any questions! :D

#Death has always fascinated, if not most of the time, scared us. For as long as we have been conscious, we have wondered where our "person" goes when we leave what we understand as existence.
However, are we the first #hominin species to wonder about the #afterlife?
Apparently not, as evidence shows; read on - https://worldofpaleoanthropology.org/2025/04/30/beyond-the-grave-burial-and-the-human-condition-in-deep-time/

More than one #hominin used to traverse the ancient #African landscape. Sometimes, more likely more often than we would have ever thought, these species may have interacted, even seen each other!

"Seventy thousand years ago, the sea level was much lower than today. #Australia, #NewGuinea, and #Tasmania formed a connected landmass known as #Sahul. Around this time the first humans arrived in Sahul, a place previously devoid of any #hominin species."
