We find evidence that Harbin, Dali, and Kabwe are likely Denisovans or their close kin! Using gene regulation, which predicts traits with >85% accuracy, we scanned the fossil record and found a remarkable fit to predicted Denisovan anatomy. See🧵👇 https://t.co/t6gfQhL01O https://t.co/mTjIlDpK0S
Pooja explains that in her part of the project, she’ll be looking at the metagenome. Samples of ancient bone don’t just contain the DNA of the human they once belonged to, but also genetic material from any pathogens that the human might have been carrying around with them.
