No Bones Needed: Cave Sediment from 22,000 Years Ago Rewrites Ice Age Population History

A University of Vienna team extracted human nuclear DNA from a roughly 22,000-year-old sediment layer in El Mirón Cave, Spain, recovering some 14,700 SNPs. Combined with new genomes from France, Spain and Italy, the work shows gene flow between eastern and western Gravettian groups around 32,500–31,500 years ago, and reveals that Fournol-related ancestry persisted in southwestern Europe through the Last Glacial Maximum.

Xujiayao Finds Its Family: Ancient Proteins Confirm Denisovan Identity and Sketch a Shared Face for East Asia’s Archaic Humans

Using palaeoproteomics on fossils from Xujiayao in northern China, a team led by IVPP's Qiaomei Fu confirms these Middle Pleistocene hominins were Denisovans and, for the first time, outlines the group's shared cranial, mandibular and dental morphology—suggesting most archaic humans in East Asia between 300,000 and 100,000 years ago belonged to this lineage.

The Genetic Code of a Tang Dynasty Frontier Clan: 38 Ancient Genomes Reveal Patrilineal Inheritance and Female Exogamy in the Chen Family

Analysing 38 ancient genomes from the Tang-era Chen family cemetery at Naobaowan in Inner Mongolia, researchers found 13 men sharing one Y haplogroup amid highly diverse maternal lineages, with several women carrying West Eurasian steppe ancestry buried in the core cemetery — revealing patrilineal succession combined with female exogamy in a frontier elite clan.
