Enamel Palaeoproteomics Successfully Distinguishes between Denisovans and European Neandertals

2026-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Ancient DNA (aDNA) has transformed the study of hominin relationships, but its preservation in ancient fossils is often limited. Enamel palaeoproteomics offers an alternative molecular approach for taxonomic analysis. In this study, we re-analyse published DDA mass spectrometry data1 from the Denisovan-attributed Penghu 1 mandible (PXD054412)2 and a Neandertal enamel specimen from Gruta de Oliveira, Portugal (PXD0...
