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

“There might have been pathogens that could affect Neanderthals and Denisovans that also could jump into modern humans.” “At least partially, Neanderthals may have harbored already adaptive mutations, ...

For this research, the team sequenced the genes of three groups of hominids: Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo sapiens. Their goal was to study the antigens present on the surface of red blood cells, ...
