Denisovans from southwestern China and their subsistence strategies🏺🧪 Qijun Ruan, Clément Zanolli @clement-zanolli.bsky.social , JJ Hublin et al www.nature.com/articles/s41... The hominin fossils are dated to about 167–134Kya, whereas the cultural sequence spanned from about 190 to 70 Kya.

Evidence from Bianfu Cave shows specialized hunting, expedient stone-tool production and extensive bone use of Denisovans, providing new insights into their ecology, behaviour and cultural legacy in eastern Asia, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/3SFqhrY 🏺🧪

This is figure 4, which shows stone artefacts and bone tools from Bianfu Cave.

Following the recent earthquake, the situation in Liang Bua is terrible, especially for children. A friend of mine started a fundraising donation to help them. Any donation will be helpful to help them recover: gofund.me/7f896f567

Hello, Our paper on enamel proteins from Paranthropus robustus has finally been peer reviewed, please have a read here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Paranthropus robustus has been puzzling scientists since its discovery in 1938 in South Africa, where a high number of fossils have been found.

JHE update: here below is a summary of the JHE Open Forum at AABA and a final response to recent Elsevier communications

Summary of JHE Open Forum & response to Elsevier communications

We thank all those who attended and participated in the Open Forum (concerning the en masse resignation of the JHE Editorial Board) which was held at the annual meeting of the AABA on Saturday, March 15th, from 10:30am–12:00pm. The Open Forum was led by Emeritus Editors Andrea Taylor (in person) and Clément Zanolli (via Zoom); Emeritus Editor Mark Grabowski sent his regrets as he was unable to attend this year’s AABA meeting. The meeting was well attended (~50–60) and included a number of Emeritus Editors and immediate past and earlier Editorial Board (EB) members. What follows is a summary of the discussion that took place during this Open Forum. Additionally, in the days before the Open Forum, Elsevier published an editorial and a publisher’s note. While we will not engage in continued back-and-forth discussion of communications from Elsevier as we do not see this as productive, we do believe there is a crucial need to set the record straight on several claims and for the paleoanthropological community to understand the implications of some of the assertions in those communications.

Summary of the Open Forum:
The forum began with a short presentation which included a brief background of changes in the publishing world, including the history of Open Access (OA) in Europe and the 2022 US federal mandate by the Office of Science and Technology that all federal agencies make federally funded research freely available to the public immediately upon publication by the end of 2025 (NSF Public Access Plan 2.0); the implications of the 2025 mandate for authors in the US; the consequences of the OA mandate in Europe and the US for publishers, journals, and authors; and the fundamental misalignment of the goals of JHE and the goals of the publisher that ultimately led to the en masse resignation (the details of which were communicated at the time of the resignation and were not the focus of the Open Forum)

Hi We contributed towards the South African Journal of Science Taung Centennial! some links; the special issue: issuu.com/sajs/docs/so... our paper: sajs.co.za/article/view... and I got featured on where I work from Nature Africa if you are interested in that: www.nature.com/articles/d44...

JHE Update: Here below I am sharing a message on behalf of the two former co-Editors-in-Chief of JHE, Andrea Taylor and Mark Grabowski: First, we are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of support from the human evolution community for the collective decision to resign. 1/3

My last and final paper to be published in JHE is out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Despite the recent issues with JHE, I am really excited to share this work with you all. A new species of Paranthropus is proposed (actually the resurrection of an old one). I hope you will enjoy the study!
