Earliest hand- and footprint art indicates that Denisovans may have occupied the interior of the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau since 200 thousand years ago
As a result of rapid uplift since the late Cenozoic, the Tibetan Plateau eventually developed an enormous area (3.08 million km) and became the highest elevation plateau on Earth. The cold and…
Exploitation of lydite and jasper by Epipaleolithic foragers in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions
Lithic raw material analysis is the key to understanding prehistoric foragers’ resource exploitation strategies, mobility patterns, cultural interactions and exchange networks. Previous geochemical…

TLDR
The age of early AMH fossils from five caves in this region using ancient DNA analysis and a multimethod geological dating strategy was found to be much younger than previously suggested, with some remains dating to the Holocene owing to the complex depositional history at these subtropical caves.
Oldest cave art found in Sulawesi
TLDR
The Uranium-series dating of two figurative cave paintings of Sulawesi warty pigs recently discovered in the same karst area shows that the animal painting from Leang Tedongnge is the earliest known representational work of art in the world.
Morphology of the Denisovan phalanx closer to modern humans than to Neanderthals
TLDR
Unlike Denisovan molars, which display archaic characteristics not found in modern humans, the only morphologically informative Denisovan postcranial bone identified to date is suggested here to be plesiomorphic and shared between Denisovans and modern humans.
Defining Art and Artworlds
Most art is made by people with a well-developed concept of art and who are familiar with its forms and genres as well as with the informal institutions of its presentation and reception. This is…
The Origin of Art
The very concept of the ‘birth’ or ‘origin’ of art may seem inappropriate, since humans are by nature artists and the history of art begins with that of humanity. In their artistic impulses and…
A late Middle Pleistocene Denisovan mandible from the Tibetan Plateau
TLDR
Fossil evidence indicates that Denisovans occupied the Tibetan Plateau in the Middle Pleistocene epoch and successfully adapted to this high-altitude hypoxic environments long before the regional arrival of modern Homo sapiens.
A standard protocol for documenting modern and fossil ichnological data
TLDR
The aim is to make the 3D capture of ichnological data standard practice, and to provide guidance on how such 3D data can be communicated effectively and archived openly and in perpetuity.
