Discover the Denisovans: A Lost Human Species Still in Our DNA In 2008, scientists found evidence of a new ancient human species—the Denisovans.

This audiobook takes you on an exciting journey into the past to uncover the story of the Denisovans. Hidden deep in the Denisova Cave in Siberia, their remains went unnoticed for centuries. But when scientists discovered them, it changed what we knew about human history.
