The remains of the 13-year-old woman were discovered in 2012 in the cave of Denisova, Siberia, by a group of Russian researchers and later taken to Leipzig for genetic study. The results show that the child's mother was very close to the Neanderthals of Western Europe. My father was a Denisobian. However, he had at least one Neanderthal ancestor.

This study has revealed, among other things, that the Neanderthals migrated from Western to Eastern Eurasia long before their disappearance.

According to the archaeologist Álvaro Arrizabalaga, it is a discovery to be taken “with surprise” because it is very difficult to find first-generation bones.

The paleontologist Asier Gómez adds that the findings of this type reveal the existence of relationships between human species.
