Some Odd teeth in China


A paper (Late Middle Pleistocene hominin teeth from Tongzi, southern China, by Song Xinga, María Martinon-Torres and Jose MariaBermudez de Castro) reported that some teeth roughly 200,000-years-old found in the Yanhui cave in China, which were originally thought to belong to Homo erectus, may belong to some other hominin.


They have a mix of modern and archaic traits, which lack some characteristic features of H. erectus, but don't belong to Neanderthals either!


Since modern H. sapiens was still in Africa at that time, these teeth (because they are large) may have belonged to the mysterious Denisovan group.


Expect some surprising findings to come out of China in the coming years. Asia was teeming with "humans" long before the purported "out of Africa" migration took place. It may be the cradle of humankind.
