An amazing discovery in 2010 gave us a new ancestor. A small phalanx of a girl's finger was found in the Denisova Cave in Altai. DNA decoding yielded a representative of a new human species, separate from Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals. The authors of the book give a fascinating account of how this amazing discovery happened, how the Denisovans lived, what they looked like and how they differed from Sapiens and Neanderthals; they trace traces of migration. But it is not only about the Denisovans. You will learn: how scientists first discovered traces of ancient people, and what a revolution this made in the minds; how it turned out that Sapiens was not alone in evolution; how scientists learned that we all have Neanderthal genes; where the modern descendants of ancient people live and who is the mysterious Dragon Man.
