A new genomic method detected roughly 0.49% to 1.1% ancestry from an unidentified human population across five sampled groups. The signal points to mixing in Africa before the main out-of-Africa expansion, but it has not been matched to a fossil species.

The discovery of DNA preserved in ancient sediments is expanding our understanding of what can constitute a fossil record. Bones provide physical traces of past life, while sediments can preserve valuable molecular evidence. Used together, these approaches can reveal traces of animals that were too rare, too small, poorly preserved or elusive to leave behind recognizable physical remains.

[The Conversation Africa] Africa boasts up to 25% of Earth's animal and plant species. This diversity is driven by diverse habitats: harsh deserts, vast grasslands, dense forests, towering mountains, lush coastlines and teeming seas. It is also due to deep evolutionary roots, as many animal and plant groups originated here in the distant past. Palaeontologists have been excavating this material for nearly two centuries.

Chinese scientists have finally put a face to the Denisovans, a mysterious species of ancient humans who were previously known only through the evidence of their DNA and fossil fragments. The hominids were thought to have lived in parts of Siberia and East and Southeast Asia thousands of years ago. The work of reconstructing their face was based on fossils excavated from Xujiayao, a major archaeological site in northern China’s Nihewan Basin, between 1976 and 1979. Scientists also confirmed...

Scientists have discovered genetic links between eastern and western European populations after analysing DNA from a woman who lived around 30,000 years ago in southwestern France. The study, led by the University of Vienna, challenges earlier assumptions that Ice Age populations remained largely isolated. Researchers also recovered ancient human DNA from cave sediments in Spain, revealing long-term population continuity and connections across Europe.
