The Denisova Cave in the Altai region has given up another riveting secret to modern science, this time equine, say researchers from Novosibirsk.

Prehistoric Siberians lived in Denisova Cave earlier than scientists realised - new claim based on state-of-the-art technology.

Eminent Siberian archeologist Professor Mikhail Shunkov challenges Western claims casting doubt on this being the work of ancient Denisovans.

Startling new scientific evidence to be reviewed by international experts which - if true - would transform our knowledge of skills and sophistication of early man.

Mongolian Palaeolithic sites in may prove a missing link in the map of these ancient hominins.

 ….and it was worn by a man!

Leading Russian scientist remains unshaken in view that it was Denisovans despite growing doubts from Western experts.

Aged approximately 45,000 years, this might be the world’s oldest animal statuette.

Dating back 40,000 years to the Denisovan species of early humans, new pictures show beauty and craftsmanship of prehistoric jewellery.
