Researchers studying Denisovan ancestry within East Asian populations found an anomaly in the lineage of the Jomon people. The group has little to no Denisovan ancestry, showing that this lineage ...
Prehistoric Jomon people in Japan had 'little to no' DNA from the mysterious Denisovans, study finds
The Jomon people living in prehistoric Japan had "little to no" Denisovan DNA, suggesting their ancestors may not have been in contact with this now-extinct group of Eurasian humans, a new study ...
Modern humans inherited part of their ancestry from multiple, genetically distinct Denisovan groups through interbreeding events. However, the history of contact with Denisovans remains unclear. By ...
For only the second time, researchers have obtained the full genome of a Denisovan, a group of ancient humans who lived in Asia. The DNA was extracted from a single 200,000-year-old tooth found in a ...
A fossil skull from China that made headlines last week may or may not be a million years old, but it’s probably closely related to Denisovans. The fossil skull, dubbed Yunxian 2, is one of three ...
Today we are alone. But just a few hundred thousand years ago, our ancestors shared the world with at least five other ancient human species, including diminutive hobbits and burly Neanderthals. It ...
A 146,000-year-old skull recovered near Harbin, China, by scientists decades ago has now been found to belong to the Denisovans, an extinct relation to modern humans who lived in Siberia and East Asia ...
Thousands of years ago, ancient humans undertook a treacherous journey, crossing hundreds of miles of ice over the Bering Strait to the unknown world of the Americas. Now, a new study led by the ...
Stunning discoveries and fresh breakthroughs in DNA analysis are changing our understanding of our own evolution and offering a new picture of the Neanderthals and Denisovans that our ancestors met ...
A discovery in a cave in the Altai Mountains reveals a mysterious branch of the human family tree. The Denisovans are a human relative discovered just over a decade ago. The DNA from the very small ...
In 2010, DNA from a prehistoric finger bone found in Siberia’s Denisova cave revealed the existence of a new archaic human that shared a common ancestor with both Neanderthals and modern humans.
A prominent brow ridge with a brain as large as modern humans and Neanderthals — that’s what the archaic human group, the Denisovans, looked like, according to work published this week in Cell and ...
