Two Leg Bones from a Drowned Taiwanese Channel Suggest Some Denisovans Were Ice Age Giants (anthropology.net)
Proteins extracted from a femur and tibia dredged from the Taiwan Strait indicate that at least one regional Denisovan population grew unusually large, and nobody is quite sure why.
Two ancient leg bones from Taiwan just got ID’d as Denisovan via protein analysis, and one individual may have stood nearly 6’3”. Why so big, so far south? Still an open question. #Denisovans #Paleoanthropology #HumanEvolution www.anthropology.net/p/two-leg-bo...
