Ancient Human Teeth Uncover a Genetic Connection Hidden for 400,000 Years
Enamel proteins from Homo erectus teeth suggest genetic links to Denisovans while offering a less destructive way to study ancient human fossils. A handful of ancient teeth may preserve clues to a relationship that has remained difficult to trace through fossils alone. Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese [...]
Researchers at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified dental enamel proteins in Homo erectus teeth, suggesting genetic connections with Denisovans. The discovery offers a...
