The more divergent Denisovan mtDNA has been interpreted as evidence of admixture between Denisovans and an unknown archaic human population, [31] possibly a relict H. erectus or H. erectus-like population about 53,000 years ago. [28]
Specifically, introgression from two distinct Denisovan populations is observed in East Asians (e.g. Japanese and Han Chinese), whereas South Asians (e.g. Telugu and Punjabi) and Oceanians (e.g. Papuans) display introgression from one Denisovan population. [78]
Denisovans survived and thrived on the high-altitude Tibetan plateau for more than 100,000 years, according to a new study that deepens scientific understanding of the enigmatic ancient humans ...
Researchers published a study in the journal PLOS Genetics in which they stated that the Denisovan-originated human gene variant SLC30A9 has passed into a majority of modern populations, and could ...
Researchers first identified Denisovans in 2010 using DNA sequences extracted from a rare tiny fragment of finger bone found in Siberia. Now, Baishiya Karst Cave, on the northeastern edge of the ...
The genomes of non-sub-Saharan African humans show what appear to be numerous independent introgression events involving Neanderthal and in some cases also Denisovans around 45,000 years ago. [64] [63] The genetic structure of some sub-Saharan African groups seems to be indicative of introgression from a west Eurasian population some 3,000 ...
It was also suggested that they might have resulted from mating between Denisovans and anatomically modern humans (AMH), [3] or, alternatively that they were an AMH population with unusual physiology. [1] One theory suggested that the Red Deer Cave people were early humans that settled into the region more than 100,000 years ago and became ...
Scientists trace a gene from Denisovans to modern populations, revealing its significant role in shaping contemporary neurological conditions. A Bone-Chilling Discovery Has Emerged From the Ice ...
