  9. The #Denisovans are an enigmatic species of #hominin so far mostly known from their #DNA and a few #fossil fragments, typically thought to have inhabited mostly northern ranges. We now have evidence of tripical habitation from the southern seas of Tibet - youtube.com/shorts/nSHmKC8k5DM #Anthropology

  10. wow - this expands the realm of #Denisovans a lot.

    "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."
