Elevated ancestors-Denisovan

Articles preface their reports thusly: This is the first fossil of Denisovan outside the earlier sites of Siberia of around 2010 and later.

The special note with these jaw findings is the implication that the Denisovan are wide spread and likely are more numerous than previously assessed. And especially, these specimens are being found the in oxygen poor Tibetan plateau, probably of quite a great time ago. As is known, the Tibetan plateau's lower elevations are around only 10,000 feet and from there they go up quite a bit. The current landscape is mostly barren. The specimen was taken from the Jiangla River at a cave in Tibet. By itself, it is believed to be at least from 160,000 years ago according to radioisotope dating.

One professor has said that it is likely the fossils to be found in the future that are older than 50,000 years should predominately be Denisovan. Conjecture could have the Denisovans appear in much of asia from southeast to Turkey and that they have also left cultural expressiveness which origined the Indo European languages.

Chemical extractions with the fossils show a difference in collagen protein than homo sapiens or even Neanderthals. They have a gene that augments the red blood cells which allows them to live in oxygen poor conditions.
