In a new paper in Science, archaeologist Dongju Zhang's research team reports the first Denisovan ancient DNA found outside Denisova Cave: mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gleaned not from fossils, but from the cave sediments themselves. Precise dates show the Denisovans took shelter in the cave 100,000 years and 60,000 years ago, and possibly as recently as 45,000 years ago, when modern humans were flowing into eastern Asia. • Read more ($): https://scim.ag/31UAfI7 • Read the research ($): https://scim.ag/34EBE7r • producer/editor • Aurélie Beatley • supervising producer • Joel Goldberg • animations/illustrations • Aurélie Beatley • script by • Joel Goldberg • special thanks • Laura Zahn • Elizabeth Culotta • Ann Gibbons • photos • Dongju Zhang • video • Dongju Zhang • Denisovan portrait • Maayan Harel/Copyright Maayan Harel, Maayan Visuals • music • Tibetan Monk by Pondtunez/Pond5 • original research • D.
