A fossilized skull found in China may belong to a new branch of the human family tree, according to a new study. The skull, which dates back to 300,000 years ago, has features of both Homo sapiens and Denisovans, two different groups of ancient humans. The discovery challenges the current understanding of human evolution and suggests that modern human traits emerged earlier than previously thought.

Today, the description of a #NewSpecies of #birch from #China was published: #Betula mcallisteri (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2023.1113274)
The species looks very similar to the widespread species Betula luminifera. In fact, using traditional characters to identify species, such as flowers, fruits or leaf, one cannot distinguish the two species. However, the #bark of the new species is peeling whereas B. luminifera has a smooth bark. Also, the bark does not smell when peeled (vs. fragrant).
