A Denisovan jawbone dredged from Taiwan’s seabed reveals a powerful jaw and large molars—​expanding their known range thousands of kilometers from Siberia. Even without DNA, the past speaks through protein and bone. #Denisovans #HumanEvolution #Paleoanthropology #Taiwan #AncientHumans

Yes! Our first Denisovan skull! And here I was thinking they’d stay elusive forever. Turns out “Dragon Man” was just waiting for a little dental plaque to spill the truth. 🦷🧬 #Denisovans #FossilDrama

Iconic 'Dragon Man' Skull Offers First Glimpse of What a Denisovan's Face Looked Like, New Genetic Studies Suggest

The mysterious ancient humans were only known from fossil fragments. Now, two papers argue a skull uncovered in China belongs to this group, after examining preserved DNA and proteins

Who 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

My latest story for National Geographic is about two @nature.com studies that reveal new fossils and tools that suggest #Denisovans were thick-skulled but nimble-minded. www.nationalgeographic.co….

Wow. What a way to close out the scientific content of #SMBE2025! Qiaomei Fu takes us through ancient DNA's contribution to our understanding of #HumanEvolution over the past couple of decades, culminating in her revelation this month that we now know what #Denisovans looked like.

Paige Madison (@fossilhistory.bsky.social) shared the news that we now have a Denisovan skull!! The Harbin or Dragon Man skull has been shown to have Denisovan proteins. #paleoanthropology #neanderthal #denisovans #Archaeology #AncientDNA #proteomics #HumanOrigins

The absolutely massive dragon man is a Denisovan? This feels incredibly satisfying, somehow. arstechnica.com/science/2025... 🧪🏺 📸Wei Gao
Fossilized hominin skull known as the "Harbin skull" or "Dragon Man," resting on a gray fabric background. The skull has a large, rounded cranium, prominent brow ridges, wide eye sockets, and a broad, flat nose opening, with some missing teeth and damage to the nasal area.

New genomic data from 177 Near Oceanians reveal interbreeding with three distinct Denisovan-like groups, not one. Their DNA still shapes immune genes like OAS1 and JAK1, and a skeletal gene, TRPS1, that keeps showing up across continents. #ArchaicGenomics #HumanEvolution #Denisovans

Three Different Ghosts: New Genomic Evidence for Multiple Denisovan Lineages in Near Oceania

A massive new genome dataset shows that ancient interbreeding with at least three distinct Denisovan-like groups left functional fingerprints on immunity and bone development in living people.
