We know a little bit more about what Denisovans ate and how they survived amidst the harsh conditions of the Tibetan Plateau, through a study published in Nature. They butchered diverse animals for food, skins, furs, and tool-making materials in a cave, shedding light on their habits and long-term survival.
The Xianhe mandible, discovered in a Tibetan cave, confirmed to be from a Denisovan, was about 160 thousand years old. Its protein analysis marked a significant finding, while follow-up studies found traces of Denisovan DNA at the site.
