Denisovans | Extinct Human Species Documentary

The Denisovans are the first species of archaic humans that have been discovered based on their DNA.
Were they a race of Giants, a sophisticated race that had precision machined stone tools, tailored clothing and horse domestication 40,000 years ago?

Kayleigh, I am a caregiver for my dying wife for 9 years now. Your programs are my window on the world and help keep me sane.
Thank you for all you do.

As an American who is barely proficient in one language, I’m always impressed with multilingual people who are easier for me to understand than many native English speakers.

Me and my sister are half Filipino, and we both had braces back in highschool. I remember our orthodontist commenting that we both had 5-point crowned molars, and that they had never seen that before.
Then last year we went on a trip to my mom's home village - Tigayon Hill, Aklan, Philippines - and saw that they had a tiny "museum" featuring items from a recently (2014) excavated cave located there that was full of artifacts dating back to 500 B.C.- pottery, beads, and teeth that had 5 point molars

This is the most info about denisovans I've ever found in one place!

I think the hominid story is so complex that it is not ever going to be fully explained.

TurkeyTour 24!!! Thanks for that concise and factual introduction to the Denisovans.

Love these presentations . Kayleigh has a really engaging presentation style. A great personality !

[mattchristman]

Not going to lie, seeing that picture with the three different species' skulls made me question too... but writing a whole book? Multiple books. Mad work.

[jasonmorahan]

Thanks Kayleigh, that was really good.

The most unbelievable portion of this video is Kayleigh saying she is poor with tongues!
(Thy Spanish pronunciations sound perfect, Miss Kayleigh.)

In 2014 I participated in the National Geographic Genome Study, (2008 - 2019). I have 3.6% Denisovan and 3.2% Neaderthal though with no known modern Icelandic connection. 1 Paternal grandfather was Danish and two maternal grand parents were western Ukrainian/eastern Polish.

Cool, literally the one human species I know very little about but I suspect I am not alone!

[theobald]

Cold is good. Less bugs, less diseases, keep food fresh...

Thank you Kayleigh your presentations get better and better!
