One of the tough things about selling the Palaeolithic without hyperbole, or not ending up on the cutting room floor, is that fine grained anthropogenic deposits like Cora's square metre of gritty, light reddish-grey wonder are our pyramids, are our hanging gardens, are our pompeiis. 🏺🦣

Major expansion in the human niche preceded out of Africa dispersal - Nature Analysis of species distribution models in a pan-African database comprising chronometrically dated archaeological sites over the past 120,000 years shows major expansion in the human niche from 70 ka...

1/5 Why do all non-Africans descended from a group that left Africa 50k ago? In @nature.com we model 120k years of human niche dynamics. From 70ka, a big expansion of the human niche in Africa likely equipped later OOA dispersals with a unique ecological flexibilty.

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930sβ€”only nobody knew After years of mystery, we now know what at least one Denisovan looked like.

This is wonderful. So now Harbin can be grouped with the Denisovans and we can finally meet this population face to face, what shall we call them?
