Geneticist Svante Pääb has
been awarded a Nobel prize
for his work on evolutionary
genetics (3 October 2022):
Pääbo discovered a
completely new hominin
entirely [the Denisovans]
by analyzing & comparing
Neanderthal genome sequences.

Denisovans. Extremely speculative since we barely have anything, fossil or material culture, from these guys

New entry in my human evolution series: Denisovans! Well, just my interpretation of them based on the available evidence

Homo antecessor is a species that occupies a fascinating time and place in human origins. The material from Gran Dolina are the closest known sister group to the common ancestor of today's people, Neandertals, and Denisovans.

He also doesn't really talk about how Neanderthals, Denisovans, and other archaic humans factor into this either. All the dozens of different species and subspecies of humans bumping around the Earth during prehistory really messes up the Young Earth creationism model a ton.

'The stone tools and articles of personal adornment appear to have been produced by Denisovans. This conclusion is consistent with a complete lack of any fossil remains from anatomically modern humans in the Altai Paleolithic'. https://t.co/AcdSVSi7m8

During the radiation of *Papio* baboons there were multiple episodes of admixture and introgression. Studies of *Papio* inform our understanding of similar cases, including modern humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and other ancient hominins. https://t.co/gJGhA4Ybx7

New hominins for just published. Denisovans lived at least 60 ka in the site.
