An interesting aspect of the paper is the speculation that some of the genes found in that part of the world whose origins haven't been identified (~1%) might be attributable to H. erectus, via Denisovans. Regarding the age, there was actually some earlier work suggesting that the H. erectus remains might be as young as 35 - 50 K yrs - [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]. If those late dates pan out then some populations in the area could have recent H. erectus ancestors without a Denisovan intermediary. It will be interesting to see if any future finds can yield material suitable to provide genetic data of some sort.

I've seen migration theories with a first wave across northern europe into asia then northern china. That would give them superarchaic DNA to our own.

I don't really trust British Petroleum.

I don’t either, but they are paying to remove the insulation in my attic, that’s been contaminated by mercury and arsenic from the mines and smelters in the area that BP now owns:/

@ToolGuy It's a bit of fun. You know. BP....

@ToolGuy No. I'm pretty sure BP was used to denote Before Present (Era).

@ToolGuy don't ask me. I didn't write it it. I just made a little joke about it.
