Secondo Johannes Krause, dell' Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig for the fragment of a phalanx of a finger, found in 2008 in the cave cave Denisova, 6 km from the village of Chernyi Anui, Siberia, apartment in a hominid different from the Neanderthal and from 'Homo Sapiens . The find dates back to 40,000 years ago, when the only hominids would have been the Sapiens and Neanderthal . The simultaneous existence of a third species of hominids, would lead to review existing knowledge for granted.
This has also been reached by studying the DNA of bone found. A common ancestor Neanderthal and Sapiens hominid Altai, there was 1 million years ago. Established that the human race originated in Africa, and that starts to spread around the world about 1.9 million years ago with the 'Homo Erectus , paleontology has shown two other migrations from Africa: between 500 000 and 300,000 years ago, that of the Neanderthal , and 50,000 years ago that the Sapiens. But the hominid Altai was between 48 thousand and 30 thousand years ago, and you may have come in contact with both Neanderthal whose remains have been resold at about 100 km from Denisova cave, with both Sapiens, which were already present in the Altai more than 40,000 years. Moreover, in 2003 the island of Flores in Indonesia, have been found remains of a hominid, named Hobbit, dating from 13,000 years ago, a possible fourth to contemporary hominid Sapiens.
" I am extremely surprised at this discovery ," said Svante Paabo, director of the Department of Genetics Max Planck Institute , who added that analysis of the genome are expected to be taken from the cell nucleus remains to to determine whether the hominid Denisova belongs to a new species or a different evolutionary line. For the English paleontologist Terence Brown, who posted a comment on Nature on research, analysis will be positive if the " you will be obliged to review the history of recent human colonization of Eurasia.
