Figure 1 | Ancient hominin-made items from the Denisova Cave. Douka et al. 1 and Jacobs et al. 2 report a revised timeline for the ancient occupation of this site by hominins.
Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we have sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This individual is from a group ...
Researchers still know very little about Denisovans. The hominin group was first discovered in 2010 and so far, all known Denisovan fossils were found in Denisova Cave.
Scientists believe individuals of the most recently discovered hominin group (the Denisovans) that interbred with modern day humans passed on some of their genes via multiple, distinct ...
The tiny arm or leg fragment belonged to Denisova 11, a 13-year-old hybrid hominin Thomas Higham/University of Oxford Romeo and Juliet may be history’s most enduring pair of star-crossed lovers ...
The sequencing of the nuclear genome taken from an over 30,000-year-old finger bone revealed that Denisova man was neither a Neanderthal nor modern human, but a new form of hominin. Minute traces ...
As researchers describe in a study published in Nature, the girl, known as Denisova 11, is the first direct evidence that these ancient, distinct hominin species had offspring.
It is the seventh confirmed case of Denisova hominin fossils globally, the second Denisova hominin jawbone discovered with teeth and – from 4,000km (2,485 miles) – currently the farthest ...
A skull from China has been identified as Denisovan using molecular evidence – so ancient humans once known solely from their ...
The reported discovery of a new hominin species from China created a lot of buzz last week. Its discoverers—paleoanthropologists Xijun Ni, Qiang Ji, Chris Stringer, and their colleagues—say ...
