They found a tooth in Laos 130,000 years old but put in a mouth it would start to decay before midnight.
They decided it’s Denisovan.
“In addition to Siberia and the Tibetan Plateau, we can now add Laos to the achingly shortlist of places that have yielded fossils of an elusive human species known as the Denisovans.”
“Protein analysis of the tooth’s enamel identified the fossil as belonging to a member of the Homo genus, but this test couldn’t pin down the exact species.”
Wait, they don’t know for sure just an educated guess at what brings more funding?
“It’s not impossible that the molar belonged to a Neanderthal, but if that’s the case, that “would make it the south-eastern-most Neanderthal fossil ever discovered,” according to the paper.”
Instead of the south-eastern-most Denisovan fossil ever discovered?
Sounds to me like they put together a guess they can't really prove, as nobody can prove they're wrong.
