Detecting the remains of young women is a cross between two different species
The 13-year-old girl, born 50,000 years ago, is called the "child of love", the offspring of two species and extinct, belonging to the genus of Man.
A group of multinational archaeologists have unearthed and successfully studied the bones of a 13-year-old girl found in an ancient cave in Siberia (Russia).
In a paper published in Nature, they claimed to have found a true hybrid between two different species of the genus. This is direct and important evidence to prove the long-standing theory of hybrid people.

Although collectively referred to as "people", but in fact the Modern Man or Homo Sapiens, we are just a large species of the genus Homo. However, at present, we dominate the genus because we are the only species of this genus to survive.
The young woman has just been found to be a distant relative of us. DNA assessment results show that the cell has the father of Denisovan and the mother of Neanderthal - two ancient species of extinct.

The parents of the young woman and their species migrated to this land long before that, the Neanderthals mainly resided in the West, the Denisovans in the East. On the way to the East, Neanderthals met Denisovans and possibly our ancestors - Modern People. That may be the condition that leads to a love of apartheid between a father and a mother.
Following DNA, it was found that her father Denisovans had a long-lived ancestor, Neanderthals; and the mother's mother is from the Neanderthal group living in Western Europe. Other evidence suggests that these two groups of people existed until 40,000 years ago.

Viviane Slon, a researcher at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA, in Leipzig, Germany), said: "Previous studies suggest that Neanderthals and Denisovans must have had children together. But I haven't. Never thought we would be so lucky: finding a real hybrid between two species ".

Based on fossil evidence of species of the genus, many previous studies have shown that these species have mixed mating with each other. The DNA of modern Africans shows that they inherit a small proportion of Neanderthal DNA. Some other African populations carry some Denisovan DNA from Asia. This means we have had marriages with other human beings.

However, this is the first time scientists have found a 50-50 hybrid child directly between two human species. Bence Viola, a member of the research team from the University of Toronto (Canada), said the remains found were pieces of long bones, so they could estimate the girl's age to be about 13 or a little more.
