Homo erectus may have left a detectable genetic trace in living humans through ancient interbreeding with Denisovans.
Eating insects is completely normal in large parts of the world, yet in Europe and North America the idea still makes most ...
Scientists have linked Denisovan DNA to the "Dragon Man" skull, giving ancient relatives a physical form. Fossils found ...
For years, the Denisovans occupied an unusual place in the story of human evolution. They were recognised as one of our ...
Deep in the islands and mountain valleys of Near Oceania — stretching from New Guinea through the Bismarck Archipelago to the Solomon Islands — communities have lived in remarkable isolation for tens ...
In parts of Near Oceania north of Australia, DNA inherited from Denisovans appears to still influence immune activity today, according to a Yale-led study that offers a new window into how people in ...

Denisovan DNA influences the immune systems of modern Oceanians — but researchers aren't sure why
Genes inherited from the now-extinct Denisovans are actively playing a role in the immune system of some people from Oceania.
Chinese scientists have analysed the skull, which dates back almost 150,000 years, and have come to a groundbreaking realisation ...
Two skulls from Yunxian, in northern China, aren’t ancestors of Denisovans after all; they’re actually the oldest known Homo erectus fossils in eastern Asia. A recent study has re-dated the skulls to ...
