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

'Sensational' discovery in Denisova Cave is at least 50,000 years old BUT it wasn't made by Homo sapiens.

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

Archeological evidence from the Altai region makes clear the arrival of Homo erectus from Africa can be dated at between 800,000 and one million years ago.

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

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

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

13 year old revealed as the daughter of a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father - separate humanoid groups now proven to have crossbred.
