Researchers have sequenced the second high-quality genome from a Denisovan, extracted from a 200,000-year-old tooth in Siberia's Denisova Cave. This discovery reveals at least three distinct Denisovan populations and evidence of interbreeding with unknown Neanderthals and another mysterious ancient human group. The findings expand our understanding of early human evolution in Asia.
