INTERDOC_12 — The Denisovan Ghost Population Puzzle

In 2010, Svante Pääbo's team at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology sequenced DNA from a tiny finger bone fragment found in Denisova Cave, Altai Mountains, Siberia, and discovered an entirely new homin

L_1_02 — Interbreeding Events & Genetic Discontinuities

Ancient DNA has established that late human evolution was not a simple replacement story. Expanding populations of Homo sapiens interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans, and at least one direct first-generation hybrid

L_1_09 — Ghost Populations & Missing Archaic Lineages

Ghost populations are human groups whose existence is inferred from statistical signatures in modern or ancient genomes rather than from direct fossil or archaeological evidence. The term reflects a central challenge of

L_1_08 — Denisovans — Archaic Hominin Deep Dive

Denisovans are an extinct group of archaic hominins identified primarily through ancient DNA analysis rather than traditional fossil morphology — making them history's first hominins to be discovered by genetics. In 2010

L_1_12 — Ghost DNA: Unknown Archaic Hominin Admixture

"Ghost DNA" refers to genetic signals — segments of the genome, deviations in allele frequency distributions, or anomalous phylogenetic patterns — that indicate admixture (interbreeding) between anatomically modern human
