New finds in the palaeoanthropological and genomic records have changed our view of the
origins of modern human ancestry. Here we review our current understanding of how the …

Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

Using genome-wide data of 89 ancient individuals dated to 5100 to 100 years before the
present (BP) from 29 sites across the Tibetan Plateau, we found plateau-specific ancestry …

Genetic and fragmented palaeoanthropological data suggest that Denisovans were once
widely distributed across eastern Eurasia,–. Despite limited archaeological evidence, this …

It has recently become clear that several human lineages coexisted with Homo sapiens
during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene. Here, we report an archaic human fossil that …

A late Middle Pleistocene mandible from Baishiya Karst Cave (BKC) on the Tibetan Plateau
has been inferred to be from a Denisovan, an Asian hominin related to Neanderthals, on the …

The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily
evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report a Middle …

The phylogenetic relationships between hominins of the Early Pleistocene epoch in Eurasia,
such as Homo antecessor, and hominins that appear later in the fossil record during the …

The analysis of ancient proteins from paleontological, archeological, and historic materials is
revealing insights into past subsistence practices, patterns of health and disease, evolution …

The timing of the first arrival of Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and the degree to
which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous …
