World science has reported another sensation. Specialists of the famous German Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology of the Max Planck Society announced the existence of a new, previously unknown species of man. This discovery was made by scientists as a result of DNA analysis of a fragment of the phalanx of a finger, found on the territory of Russia in southern Siberia
The analysis showed that this man who lived 44 thousand years ago, presumably a child, had a DNA structure 50 percent different from the genetic code of both modern humans and Neanderthals. “This, apparently, is about a new kind of man, which was previously unknown to world science,” - said research leaders Johannes Krause and Svante Paabo. They named this man "Denisov" after the name of the cave in which a fragment of the skeleton was found (In foreign articles, another nickname "Woman X" appears more often and it turns out that the remains were female …). Part of the finger of a child aged five to seven years was recovered in 2008 by Russian archaeologists in southern Siberia. Experts note that this is a special line in human development, which originates from Africa. It turned out,in this part of modern Russia, three species of people lived side by side - Homo Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisov. In recent years, world science, based on the latest data, has come to the conclusion that at least seven species of people existed on Earth during evolution, genetically different from each other, but only one of them survived - Homo Sapiens.
Fragments of remains found in Siberia only confirm the conclusions about more complex ways of human evolution than it was previously thought. At the same time, this find raises new complex questions related to the emergence of modern man and the prospects for Homo Sapiens, ITAR-TASS reports, citing information from the British broadcasting corporation BBC.
