First discovery of an ancient-human hybrid.

Featured Replies

A female who died around 90,000 years ago was half Neanderthal and half Denisovan, according to genome analysis of a bone discovered in a Siberian cave. This is the first time scientists have identified an ancient individual whose parents belonged to distinct human groups. The findings were published on 22 August in Nature1.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06004-0

I read that article and a fascinating find it was indeed!
