Unprecedented Human-Like Skull Discovered in China's Ancient Remains
A unique human fossil discovered in China by an international team of scientists stands out due to its dissimilarity with any previously known hominins. Unlike the ancestral lines that led to Neanderthals, Denisovans, or modern humans, this ancient specimen, named HLD 6, has raised the possibility of a previously unrecognized branch on the human family tree. Unearthed in Hualongdong, East Asia, in 2019, the remains consist of a jaw, skull, and leg bones, baffling experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) who have been unable to classify them within existing lineages. The facial structure of the hominin bears resemblance to modern humans who diverged from Homo erectus around 750,000 years ago. However, its distinctive feature, the absence of a chin, bears more similarity to the Denisovans, an extinct ancient Asian hominin lineage that diverged from Neanderthals over 400,000 years ago. Through collaboration with researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong University in China, the University of York in the UK, and Spain's National Research Center on Human Evolution, the CAS team suggests the discovery of an entirely new lineage – a hybrid between the ancestral line leading to modern humans and the lineage of other ancient hominins in the region, such as Denisovans. This finding addresses the historical challenge of categorizing Pleistocene hominin fossils found in China, which often defy straightforward classification. Instead of being relegated to intermediate stages on the path to modern humans or considered archaic forms of Homo sapiens or Homo erectus, these fossils could represent a new and distinct lineage.

Smallpox's Defeat: From Ancient Horror to Modern Triumph
Around 10,000 years ago, a sinister virus emerged in the northeastern regions of Africa, using the air as its conduit and targeting the skin cells, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes of its unfortunate hosts. This malevolent pathogen, christened smallpox, wrought havoc with symptoms ranging from fever and vomiting to rashes that left permanent scars. In the second week of infection, the virus claimed the lives of 30% of those afflicted. This early scourge of humanity's history traced its roots to the distant past, notably rearing its head during the turmoil of the Egypt-Hittite war in 1350 B.C. It reaped a grim toll on civilizations and individuals alike, extending its reach across continents through trade networks and conquests. Despite its lethal sway, the trajectory of smallpox's reign of terror would pivot long before the emergence of modern medical interventions.
