Jawbone Mystery Solved: Not Human?!

A jawbone fished up off Taiwan’s coast has finally been ID’d—and it’s not from a human or Neanderthal, but a Denisovan! Scientists used protein analysis (yep, not DNA) to crack the case, since the bone was too waterlogged for regular tests. This means Denisovans, our mysterious ancient cousins, were way more widespread than we thought. Imagine finding out your distant relatives lived in both Siberia and tropical Taiwan! Science just keeps getting wilder. #Denisovan #AncientHumans #ScienceNews #Archaeology #History #Science
