Historic New Discovery of Neanderthal Hybridization with Denisovans

Neanderthal Hybridization with Denisovans. The recent discovery of an ancient molar — a tooth that most likely belonged to a young archaic girl who lived up to 164,000 years ago in a cave in southeast Asia — provides new evidence that the mysterious human lineage known as the Denisovans, previously only known from caves in Siberia and China, also lived in Southeast Asia, according to a new study. However, it could also be evidence of a Denisovan-Neanderthal hybrid who lived before the last full interglacial, 130,000 to 160,000 years ago. When it came to Neanderthal expansion into East Asia, it may have been that aggressive territorial expansion coupled with an aggressive mating strategy was an effective evolutionary strategy to temporarily fend off their modern human rivals, the Homo sapiens. Even if this new fossil is not Denisovan, any new human fossil from a region where few ancient human fossils have been discovered, such as Laos, is significant, especially if it is a non-Sapiens fossil, as this appe
