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.

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 MSCA and @erc.europa.eu, @leakeyfoundation.bsky.social.
I am grateful to the many colleagues, both on here and elsewhere, who have contributed directly and indirectly to this study, as well as to our institute at the University of Copenhagen, which enables our palaeoproteomic explorations.
