At https://dailygalaxy.com/2026/10/fossils-found-china-identified-denisovan/ … we are informed that we now have the bones of Denisovan individuals and we are introduced to a facial make up that shows up what they may have looked like. Previously, Denisovan remains were very fragmentary – but it had been possible to extract DNA from them [such as a finger found in a Siberian cave]. It seems curators and researchers have been taking another look at what they have in their museum stores and cupboards. The bones used in the recreation model were found in northern China around 50 years ago and were labelled and then stored away. Now, a reappraisal of them have given them a name – and a face. This is what the Denisovans may have looked like. They were closely related to the Neanderthals so we have that sort of look in the model. They are also said to have lived in East Asia between 300,000 and 45,000 years ago. This is based on western research in that both Neanderthals and Denisovans disappeared around the time of the Laschamp Event, and the Neanderthals developed in the mid Pleistocene period. I wonder what the research paper in the Chinese language might have added to that.
At https://dailygalaxy.com/2026/11/human-footprints-new-mexico-before-desert/ … during the Late Glacial Maximum, it is confirmed, New Mexico was not a desert. It was also around 4 degrees C cooler than it is in the modern world. In other words it was in a different climate band. A temperate zone. This is entirely in keeping with Peter Warlow’s talk at an SIS conference in Cambridge University. He claimed during the LGM the north pole was located in a different location than in the modern world. That is why the ice cap existed over the Canadian Shield. Lakes and rivers abounded in what is now the dry zone of North America.,
