A study published in Nature provides groundbreaking insights into the Denisovans, an ancient human species.

Bone remains in Baishiya Karst Cave on the Tibetan Plateau suggest Denisovans thrived in harsh conditions for over 100,000 years.

Researchers used a novel method called ZooMS to identify various animal species hunted by Denisovans, including blue sheep, wild yaks, and woolly rhinos.

A new Denisovan fossil indicates their presence during the period when modern humans were spreading across Eurasia.

These findings enhance our understanding of Denisovans' adaptability, interactions with other human groups, and survival in different environments.

The study raises questions about the timeline and reasons for Denisovans' extinction on the Tibetan Plateau.
