In a new review paper, anthropologists tally all of the fossils that have been clearly identified as Denisovan since the first discovery in 2010. The entire list consists of half a broken jaw ...
Genomes of Indian people today reveal links to a prehistoric migration and a group of Iranian farmers, as well as several new ...
Moreover, the study highlights India's position as a major reservoir of genetic diversity, showcasing the largest variation ...
It was there that the case of the Denisovan pinkie bone took a startling turn. Pääbo, a transplanted Swede, is arguably the world’s leading expert in ancient DNA, especially human DNA.
Caption This map shows the proportion of the genome inferred to be Denisovan in ancestry in diverse non-Africans. The color scale is not linear to allow saturation of the high Denisova proportions ...
A new technique for sequencing ancient DNA has allowed a multinational research team to reconstruct the genome of a person who lived in Siberia’s Denisova Cave between 30,000 and 82,000 years ...
Phylogenetic tree relating the Denisova 2 mitochondrial DNA with other Denisovan mitochondrial DNA sequences. The mitochondrial DNA from Sima de los Huesos was used as an outgroup. The schematic ...
The results were unambiguous—the girl’s DNA matched Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes to an equal degree. She had a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father. Denisovans were a type of early ...
Read now. * All Indians have 1-2% Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestry, but it is not clear if and when these pre-human species ever populated India. * Today, most Indians derive their ancestry from ...

One example is “Denny,” a girl with a Neanderthal mother and Denisovan father. Her bones were found in a cave in Siberia. Our evolutionary past is messier than scientists used to think.
