The Denisovans or Denisova hominins ( / dəˈniːsəvə / də-NEE-sə-və) are an extinct species or subspecies of archaic human that ranged across Asia during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic, and lived, based on current evidence, from 285 to 25 thousand years ago. [1] .
Denisovans, a group of now extinct humans who lived in Eastern Eurasia in the Middle and Late Pleistocene, were first identified from DNA sequences just over a decade ago. Only ten...
Denisovan, member of a group of archaic humans who emerged about 370,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch in Eurasia, spreading throughout eastern and southern Asia and parts of Melanesia before disappearing sometime after about 30,000 years ago. The group is known from a handful of fossil.
When modern humans expanded out of Africa some 60,000 years ago, the Denisovans must have been in their path in order to interbreed and introduce some of their genes into our lineage. But it wasn...
Multiple Ancient Denisovan Populations The new findings, detailed in recent research published by Ongaro and Prof. Emilia Huerta-Sanchez, point to multiple different populations of Denisovans, each with distinct adaptations to environments within their shared geographical range throughout parts of the ancient world.
The Denisovans, together with the Neanderthals, are the closest extinct relatives of modern humans. It wasn't until 2010 that scientists announced that the Denisovans existed, so much about...
The new results come after more than a decade of effort to find fossilized bones and a second genome of a Denisovan, the mysterious archaic human discovered through its DNA 14 years ago. That first Denisovan genome came from a girl’s pinkie finger bone dated between 60,000 to 80,000 years ago.
Evidence for multiple Denisovan introgression events with modern humans. The first comparisons of the Denisovan genome with modern human genomes led to some interesting and unexpected results ...
For the first time, scientists analysing the DNA of Denisovans — an extinct group of hominins that was discovered around a decade ago — have offered a glimpse of what they might have looked like.
The Denisovans are an extinct group of fossil humans who, along with their sister group the Neanderthals, also share an ancestor with Homo sapiens.
