In the sea of ancient bone fragments found in Denisova cave in the mountains of Siberia, the remains of a 90,000 year old hybrid teenager was discovered. The Jindo takes a look at how the DNA was analyzed, the conclusions drawn by the scientists involved, and the larger questions that arise as a result of this groundbreaking discovery.

Its crazy how relatively overnight we can discover our past was pretty *different* than we thought...

When i learned in 6th grade about Neanderthals we were told they did not breed with humans but maybe did...and Denisovan was not even in the book yet i think it wasnt discovered... now i am in college and things have changed lol.

I can with all honesty tell you that that girl looks just like one of my cousins... So ancient man and woman could easily fit into present day without too much trouble... :-)

Seeing as Denisovans, Neanderthals and Humans all shared the same common ancestor and were closely enough related that they could produce fertile offspring, they'd probably be as happy to interbreed as we are between races today. All of them would have had some form of language, so the idea that trade and mating between the species isn't a big leap. As for being able to tell Denisovans were large from just some bone fragments, it all depends what kind of fragments, the ends of leg and arm bones can give some idea of how long those bones were and the size of teeth can indicate how large the jaw was, which in turn can be used to estimate the overall size of the skull.

Remarkable what we are learning bit by bit. Am sure that girl had a tough life and a tragic end. Likely she suffered a lot and never dreamed that some 50-90, 000 years ahead we would be telling her story. I hope some day we will be able to described her day to day life before she died.

lol this is literally my ancestry it says we are Melanisian and that we interbred with Denisovans 😂😂 im dead its only 1% because it was 45k years ago but still oh and i also have 286 variants of neanderthal

Sumerian and biblical stories are about the Denisovans. And I will go as far to say they are related or are the so-called Atlantians.

Which species was mom, which was dad? Did she already have kids? How did her parents meet, was this common practice? Hair, eye, skin color? Build, height, ability to run, how far stride, was there variability in height, so many questions so little evidence somebody find more hybrids etc.

Biological Species Concept is relevant here because if they were interbreeding, were their offspring infertile or fertile, but more importantly were Neanderthals and Denisovans parapatric speciating as well? Lastly, Homo sapiens must have not violently wiped out Neanderthals but genetically ecologically replaced them.

Denisovans are Sasquatch/Yeti...physical size and features match up and the migration route v. the sightings reported is consistent...

It makes me wonder. As more remains are, (or aren't) found in the future, will it be found that populations in europe and asia could have a lot more of common ancestry than thought?

Groups of ancient people roamed around. They were hunter/gatherers. They could have met up & exchanged males or females for reproduction purposes. Once exchanged the groups would part leaving behind a family member. Maybe there were specific times of the year where different groups would meet up.

If you think about it when modern humans came around they were just able to exploit resources more efficiently and were better able to survive than other hominids. I don't think it's as cut and dry to say that other hominids went extinct because of violent conflict or just absorbed into the population but a mixture of both, just like relatively modern times (last few melenia) some civilizations got along some didn't.

Neanderthal and Devonian were human European have Neanderthal and Asian have Devonian. Africans mated with Archaic human type that were a lower form of our species. Check bell curve IQ on each group.

The fact that the girl is dead at 13 implies the possibility that all was not harmonious.

Fascinating, remind me of a trilogy of Ayla of the clan of the cave bear or some title like that. Read long time ago.

This is interesting and I am glad we get to know these things now and only hope that the powers that be have kept detailed records while suppressing so much from us Mere Mortals!!!

Carbon dating only goes up to about 50, 000 years, 100, 000 years is out of bounds for carbon dating 15:41

It seems like common sense that they interbred, when was the next (friendly i assume if they bred) group of band hunters would you run into? Human population was so low then (i think)
