Ancient fossils uncover human giants
Paleontologists have revealed skeletal remains attributed to the ancient Denisovan human in the Penghu Strait area near Taiwan. These findings suggest that some of its members were among the tallest humans to have lived during the Ice Age, with the femur measuring approximately 180 cm in height and weighing 83 kg, while the tibia is estimated to be about 190 cm tall and weigh 91 kg. It is also believed that the owners of the bones were males. The study indicates that Denisovans, an ancient human lineage that diverged from Neanderthals around 550,000 years ago and lived in East Asia. Proteins found in the remains have linked them to this lineage.
