For a number of years, it was believed that a single ancient rendezvous resulted in the introduction of these Denisovan genes ...

According to their interpretation of the evidence, a number of Denisovan populations that were adapted to environments across the Asian continent and beyond passed their genes to our own recent ...

Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ...

According to the results, there are hundreds of gene variants found in the population that indicate two distinct Denisovan lineages separated by 350,000 years, and there are enough differences in them ...
