@scientificinquirer.bsky.socialDenisovans were more than mysterious fossils. Finds from a Chinese cave reveal bone tools, systematic butchery and marrow extraction—evidence these ancient humans were skilled hunters with sophisticated technology. #Archaeology #Denisovans scientificinquirer.com/2026/09/10/d...
@mysteriesunveiled.bsky.socialMore than 60,000 bone fragments were examined at Bianfu Cave in China. Hidden among them were rare Denisovan remains dating back 167,000–134,000 years. Who were these mysterious ancient humans?

'3 to 5 percent of their DNA came from an unidentified hominin lineage that diverged from ours roughly 1.8 million years ago'

@fredakreier.bsky.social🧪 I love #Denisovans. It was such a treat to write about the latest fossil finds (and tools!) out of Yunnan last week. My latest for @sciencenews.bsky.social
@americangeo.bsky.social#China: Denisovan Site Discovery
Recent fossil discoveries at Bianfu Cave in southwestern China are providing a rare glimpse into the lives of Denisovans, an extinct group of ancient human relatives.

@sethchagi.bsky.socialFor 16 years, #Denisovans were mostly a bioinformatic ghost: massive genomes, yet almost no fossils.
Bianfu Cave changes that, bridging the gap between Siberia and Sundaland.

@maxplanck.deWho were the #Denisovans? The ancient humans, who lived at an abandoned quarry in southwestern China for at least 30,000 years, crafted bone tools similar to those of the #Neanderthals, and were skilled hunters. www.nature.com/articles/d41... @nature.com @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social

@fayanora.bsky.socialWhy would they assume that #human activity, even in the #Americas, was Homo Sapiens that far back? 130K years ago, that could easily be some other species of humans, like #Denisovans.
@anthropology.netFive Denisovan fossils from a Yunnan cave, including the only known Denisovan forearm bone, were confirmed after DNA extraction failed. Ancient proteins did the identifying instead. #Denisovans #Paleoanthropology #AncientDNA www.anthropology.net/p/five-denis...
