A little bit of philosophy. "Bíos": biographical life, a life that understands itself as a story. "Zoé": biological life. And "Life", an idea that is supposedly so clear. Jesús Zamora Bonilla reflects on these concepts in this article. @mappingignorance.org mappingignorance.org/2026/06/01/b...

Bíos, zoé, and the limits of life (1)
Only humans possess “life” in the sense of the ancient concept of bíos (that is, biographical life, a life that understands itself as a story)

Were Denisovans tall compared to other ancient humans?
They are long bones from two specimens of Denisovans, but does this mean that all members of their species would have been as tall?
