Bence Viola from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig discovered the tooth fragments together with Russian colleagues in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains. Initially, he thought the inconspicuous-looking object was the molar of a cave bear. But when the remaining fragments of the tooth turned up, it became obvious that the researchers had found the tooth of a hominid. It was too large, however, to be from a modern man or Neanderthal. When the researchers finally succeeded in decoding the DNA of the tooth, their suspicion was confirmed: it hailed from a previously unknown early human species living in Asia at least 30,000 years ago.

@DOTCurrency yeah..you keep saying that even though it has been validated by mostly people like you who try and disprove it..We have found Noahs Ark,Sodom & Gamora,Lots of egyptian relics at the bottom of the RedSea crossing and much much more..The Bible has not once in the over 2,000 years been proven a page wrong..But you somehow have the wisdom to know more than thousands of schollars huh ? lol..God will teach you soon enough.
