The DNA of a small 2cm bone fragment found in the Denisova Cave in Russia revealed that the owner of the bone was a young girl. In addition, another bone fragment was known to be a girl born to a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father. These facts have been made possible through the DNA analysis of Doctor Svante Pääbo's research team, awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This video introduces the process of restoring Denisovans from bone fragments and the process of evolution and spread.
