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.

  • @Projectinsighter where is Noah's ark, and why did all of the Kangaroos straggle into Australia? Why did Penguins only go to the South Pole?

  • So they are not closely related to humans ,but how much?% related to Neanderthals?I hear we are 4% neanderthal ,Do we have any common genes with Denisovain man?

  • @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.

  • @Projectinsighter The bible is a bullshit fairy tale, you don't actually believe that shit do you?

  • silly thing is..Why do people try their best to never say ,Nephilim,Giants,Cause facts show the Bible is being Validated constantly and no matter how much the evolutionist,atheist,Satanist,­& vAntichristo Spirit try and hide Gods word..it's coming out and Gods word will not be stopped..people will chose God or Satan willing & Knowingly..peace ..
