Two great new studies out in @Nature today, pushing back the recovery of dental enamel proteins to 21+ million years in the Arctic ( and 18+ million years in East Africa ( #palaeoproteomics!.

I am grateful to the many colleagues, both on here (if you're still around!) and elsewhere, who have contributed directly and indirectly to this study, as well as to @Globe_UCPH at the University of Copenhagen, which enables our palaeoproteomic explorations in human evolution.

This study would not have been possible without significant investments in ancient protein extraction and analysis methods. Amongst others, we are grateful to support from the @MSCActions, @ERC_Research, and @TheLeakeyFndtn.

The information retrieved from these faunal analysis then allowed us to pick the most suitable approaches to study the Penghu mandible itself! Whenever we can, we should try and study proxies before attempting to analyse hominin fossils themselves.
