The existence of
the Denisovans was
discovered just a decade ago through DNA alone. Now we're starting to uncover
fossils and artefacts revealing what these early humans were like.
The archaeologists
have also unearthed treasure troves of artefacts, including tools, jewellery
and even art, that they think were created by these mysterious people.
We are starting to
piece together a picture of the Denisovans, one of our closest cousins, and a
group that still lives on in the DNA of many people today.
According to the model based on Genesis, the Neanderthals were Adam’s descendants just
like us. They probably lived in Europe during the ice age following the Flood of Noah and it seems the Denisovans where their
closest comrades.
