About this listen

Discover the Denisovans: A Lost Human Species Still in Our DNA

In 2008, scientists found evidence of a new ancient human species—the Denisovans. While they lived at the same time as the Neanderthals, the Denisovans were different in surprising ways. The most amazing part? They left traces of their DNA in us.

This audiobook takes you on an exciting journey into the past to uncover the story of the Denisovans. Hidden deep in the Denisova Cave in Siberia, their remains went unnoticed for centuries. But when scientists discovered them, it changed what we knew about human history.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

How the Denisovans were found: The story of the surprising discovery of Denisovan bones in a Siberian cave.

Proving a new species: See how scientists used DNA to confirm Denisovans were not Neanderthals or Homo sapiens but a unique species.

The Denisovan family tree: Learn how Denisovans fit into human evolution and who their ancestors were.

What Denisovan life was like: Explore what scientists know about their biology, culture, and how they lived.

How they mixed with Neanderthals and humans: Find out how Denisovans interacted with both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens.

The Denisovan legacy: Discover how Denisovan DNA still affects certain human populations today.

This audiobook tells the Denisovan story in a way that’s easy to understand, showing how their discovery changed our view of human history forever. If you’re curious about our ancient ancestors and what’s hidden in our DNA, this is the audiobook for you.
