Ancient child thought to be only known individual whose parents were two different species

An ancient child from Siberia is believed to be the only know individual whose parents were from two different species.

The deduction was made possible by the 2010 unearthing of tiny fragments of bone and teeth fragment remains of a Denisovan, who lived in Lower and Middle Palaeolithic ages.

While we know much about Neanderthals, not much information is available to the public about Denisovans.

The remains were unearthed from the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia more than a decade ago. But it was only recently that scientists were able to use the fossil pieces to arrive at some answers.

For more than ten years, little research was done on the remains due to technological limitations. But that changed with the commencement of a new project called 'Finder', which aimed to shed light on the relationship between Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, and the Denisovans.

The Denisovans or Denisova hominins are an extinct species or subspecies of archaic humans that ranged across Asia during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic. They are only known from a few physical remains and DNA evidence.

Fossil Fingerprinting and Identification of New Denisovan Remains from Pleistocene Asia is what Finder stands for.

The team began studying the fragments discovered in 2010........

Does @Slide Rule have any kids?

PeteS in CA:
Ummmmmmmm ... if two "different" species are both readily inter-fertile and have fertile offspring who are both fertile and genetically combine the DNA of the two "different" species - i.e. are not hybrids like mules - are they really different species? Rather than sub-...sub-species of the same species?

Cyber Liberty:
I'm thinking "Mule."
