DNAnya Pak Yusfiq kapan mau diidentifikasi? Mumpung masih hidup lho, jadi tau sekalian.

Archaeological findings and genetic data suggest that at least two other groups subsequently left Africa: First, about 500,000 to 300,000 years ago, the ancestors of Neanderthals. After that, 50,000 years ago, anatomically modern humans. Direct descendants of Homo erectus could have survived until less than 100,000 years ago in Indonesia. Earlier representatives of Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis lived in northern latitudes -- for example, more than 125,000 years in the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia. Neanderthals also lived at that time in Siberia. > > Johannes Krause, Svante Pääbo and colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have now sequenced mitochondrial DNA from a tiny piece of a finger bone. The bone was found 2008 in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia.

It turned out that the mitochondrial DNA of the hominins from South Siberia differs markedly from that of all previously known hominins. > > As shown by a detailed analysis of the mitochondrial genome, these hominins shared a common ancestor with modern humans and Neanderthals about 1.0 million years ago.
