Palaeoproteomic analysis of ancient enamel proteins extracted from Middle Pleistocene Homo erectus specimens from the Zhoukoudian, Hexian and Sunjiadong sites in China suggests that they are a new genetic monogroup, and super-archaic introgression in Denisovans is likely to have originated from H. erectus.

Genetic analysis suggests interbreeding between two groups of human relatives.

Six teeth roughly 400,000 years old have yielded some of the first ancient proteins thought to belong to Homo erectus, providing molecular clues to their relationships with other…

Analysis of Tooth Enamel Proteins Found a Uniquely Denisovan Gene in Homo Erectus Individuals Who Lived in China 400,000 Years Ago

Distinct form of tooth protein in Homo erectus shows up in Denisovans—and us.

Uno studio su Nature estrae proteine da denti di Homo erectus in Cina e indica possibili incroci antichi con i Denisovani.
