The Denisovans went extinct around 30,000 years ago. Scientists are just beginning to unravel their genetic legacy.

Genetic testing has already ruled out Homo neanderthalis and the Denisova hominin as contributors to Sasquatch mtDNA or nuDNA, she said. "The male progenitor that contributed the unknown sequence ...

Each of these ancient fossils, even if just a small part of a skeleton, represents an identifiable character in the story of humankind.

Thanks to the sequencing of a bone found in Siberia in 2008, Pääbo was able to reveal the existence of a different and previously unknown hominin, the Denisova man, who lived in present-day ...

This collection of viewable hominin fossil 3D models was produced by the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program by 3D scanning casts and other replicas which are now on display in the Hall of Human ...

I’m an assistant professor of hominin environments and the PI of the Hominin Ecology research group. I’m an archaeologist by training and while I’m deeply interested in reconstructing and modelling ...

In the Hominin Ecology group at the Department of Geosciences and Geography, we explore human-environment interactions across large temporal and spatial scales to better understand how humans have ...

Within the last 200 years, we’ve discovered about two dozen species of hominins in Europe, Africa, and Asia—which you can see laid out in this map. The drawing of three human figures with a ...

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 interbreeding ...
