Ancient Hominins May Have Interbred in East Asia

protein study

A remarkable new study suggests that Homo erectus populations in East Asia may have co-existed and interbred with Denisovans hundreds of thousands of years ago. The research provides the first molecular evidence linking these ancient human lineages.  This recently published research demonstrates how new protein recovery and analysis techniques can enhance data retrieved in association

Paleontology rocked by discovery of organic molecules in 66-million-year-old dinosaur bones

bone collagen protein fossil Edmontosaurus discovery

Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that dinosaur fossils may still contain traces of their original proteins, overturning a long-standing belief that fossilization destroys all organic material. In a remarkably well-preserved Edmontosaurus fossil from South Dakota, researchers detected remnants of collagen — the main protein found in bone — using advanced techniques including mass spectrometry and protein sequencing.
