Denisovan
Denisovans are an extinct species of hominin who lived throughout Asia during the Lower Paleolithic (3 million-300,000 years ago) and Middle Paleolithic (300,000-30,000 years ago). The species has been identified from very few remains-including the end of a pinky finger and a few teeth-and therefore most of what is known about the species comes from DNA evidence.
