Denisovan remains discovered in Bianfu cave in southern China

Researchers from China have discovered a new archaeological site dating back to the Paleolithic era, which scientists believe is associated with Denisovans. The excavations were conducted in the Bianfu cave, located in southern China.

During the work, various artifacts were found, including stone and bone objects, animal traces, as well as teeth and bone fragments of these ancient humans. Specialists suggest that the human remains belong to at least four individuals who existed between 167,000 and 134,000 years ago.

The discovery was reported in two scientific publications (one and two) published in the journal Nature.

Study shows archaic hominins from Huluh Cave lived over 600,000 years ago

A new scientific study was conducted using samples extracted from the Chinese cave of Huluh. Previously, more than thirty years ago, two skulls of archaic hominins were discovered in this cave.

Specialists applied uranium series and electron paramagnetic resonance methods to determine the age of these remains. The analysis established that the presumed age of these archaic humans exceeds 600,000 years.

The results of this study were officially presented in a scientific publication published in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews.
