The Ancient Girl Whose DNA Revealed Her Parents Were Two Different Human Species
The story of Denny is not finished.
The genetic evidence she provides will continue to be analyzed as methods improve and as more comparative data becomes available.
The questions her genome raises about Neanderthal migration, Denisovan population structure, and the nature of ancient human interactions will continue to be addressed through the analysis of additional ancient specimens.
The field of paleoanthropology is being transformed by the ancient DNA revolution in ways that are still playing out.
Traditional paleoanthropology — built on the analysis of fossil morphology and the archaeological record — is increasingly being integrated with genetic evidence in ways that allow a more complete picture of ancient human diversity and behavior.
