The Denisovans, for instance, became known to modern science in 2010 when their genome was sequenced from a single finger ...

Although the Denisovans’ genome showed that they were more closely related to the Neanderthals, they too had left their mark on us. But the geographic pattern of that legacy was odd. When the ...

A few months later, analysis of a genome sequenced from a finger bone ... was from a newly discovered hominin group that we ...

Caption This map shows the proportion of the genome inferred to be Denisovan in ancestry in diverse non-Africans. The color scale is not linear to allow saturation of the high Denisova proportions ...

"We are in the process of comparing this Neanderthal genome to the Denisovan genome as well as to the draft genomes of other Neanderthals," study researcher Svante Pääbo said. "We will gain ...

While Neanderthals lived in the western part of Eurasia and Denisovans in the eastern region, the two were known to have mingled—but there was no first-generation sample found yet. The researchers ...

“The study expands our knowledge of the extent to which Neanderthals and Denisovans contributed functionally relevant genetic variation to modern humans,” Svante Pääbo, an evolutionary geneticist at ...

A previous study constrained the Denisovan admixture event to between ... Even the analysis of a relatively recent genome from a 7,000-year-old individual found in Wallacea (a region in southeast ...
