Denisova

The same scientists also studied the genes of a different ancient people, the Denisovans, who were contemporary with the Neanderthals and whose meager fossils were found in a Siberian cave called Denisova.

A fossilized finger bone, dating to 30,000-50,000 years ago, was found in a cave in Southern Siberia called Denisova, and when the Pääbo lab determined its genomic sequence, it was neither human nor Neanderthal, albeit far closer to Neanderthal.

Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, are careful not to call the Denisova child a new human species, though it may prove to be so, because the evidence is preliminary.

The site, called Denisova, is in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia, an area that has had hominins present as early as 125,000 years ago.

In the meantime, new graphics are being produced related to this forthcoming find, as well as that of the X-Woman or the so-called Denisova "fourth human," and older discoveries.

The Denisova cave where the first Denisovan was found is just three days' walk from where genuine Neanderthal remains have been found, so it's possible the ranges of the species overlapped at least for a time.

In the Nature journal study, the pinky bone discovered in the Denisova cave archaeological site in southern Siberia yielded mitochondrial DNA — maternal genes inherited outside of the ones found in cell's chromosomes — unrelated to either humans or their extinct Neanderthal cousins.
