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 Neanderthals living in Denisova Cave around 80,000 years ago probably had no cultural memory left of sharing the cave with another hominin group; after all, Denisovans had been absent from ...

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 ...

Two new papers report new dates for the complicated stratigraphy of Denisova Cave, ... Timing of archaic hominin occupation of Denisova Cave in southern Siberia. Nature 565, 594–599 (2019).

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.

Summary timeline for the archaeology, hominin fossils and hominin DNA retrieved from the sediments at Denisova Cave. All age ranges are shown at the 95.4% confidence interval.

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 ...

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 ...

Today, we know her from just a fragment of one of her long bones, a specimen called “Denisova 11.” Researchers at Max Planck extracted samples from the bone to retrieve genetic information. Their ...
