Mystery of the Denisovans: New Fossil Discoveries Rewrite Human History
Recently discovered Denisovan fossils have sparked renewed interest in this mysterious hominin species. Scientists are using genetic analysis to reconstruct Denisovan physical traits, challenging previous assumptions about their size. One significant finding is the Harbin cranium, which is being studied to determine if it belongs to a Denisovan. "The scarcity of verified Denisovan fossils makes it difficult to understand how they differed in their anatomy," explains a researcher. The video also highlights the importance of distinguishing between accurate scientific information and speculation. Further research is needed to confirm the Denisovan origins of the newly discovered fossils. The ongoing research into Denisovans promises to continue to shed light on human evolution and our complex past.
