Denisovans

Mongolian Palaeolithic sites in may prove a missing link in the map of these ancient hominins.

Leading Russian scientist remains unshaken in view that it was Denisovans despite growing doubts from Western experts.

'Sensational' discovery in Denisova Cave is at least 50,000 years old BUT it wasn't made by Homo sapiens.

Eminent Siberian archeologist Professor Mikhail Shunkov challenges Western claims casting doubt on this being the work of ancient Denisovans.

Prehistoric Siberians lived in Denisova Cave earlier than scientists realised - new claim based on state-of-the-art technology.

13 year old revealed as the daughter of a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father - separate humanoid groups now proven to have crossbred.

Startling new scientific evidence to be reviewed by international experts which - if true - would transform our knowledge of skills and sophistication of early man.

Dating back 40,000 years to the Denisovan species of early humans, new pictures show beauty and craftsmanship of prehistoric jewellery.
