ʻOiai ke aʻo ʻana i ka iwi i koe i ka wā o ka ʻeli ʻana ma Denisova Cave (Altai), ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema i hoʻokahi iwi, a ʻo ia hoʻi, no kahi holoholona kū hoʻokahi ia.
Ua lilo kēia holoholona i mea ʻano ʻē e like me ka hoki a me ka zebra i ka manawa like - ka lio i kapa ʻia ʻo Ovodov. Ua noho kēia holoholona ma kēia wahi ma kahi o kanakolu tausani makahiki i hala aku nei, i ka manawa like me ka poʻe kahiko. Hōʻike ʻia kēia e ka SB RAS "ʻEpekema ma Siberia".
Ua "heleleʻi" ka kaulana o ka honua ma ke Ana ʻo Denisov i ka makahiki 2010, ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana o nā kānaka hulikoehana i nā koena kanaka o loko. Ma hope mai ua lilo ia i ke koena no kahi kanaka ʻike ʻole ʻia a ua kapa ʻia ka inoa ʻo "Denisovsky" no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ke ana. Ma muli o ka ʻike i loaʻa i kēia lā, kokoke ka Denisovan i ka Neanderthals, akā i ka manawa like, he nui aku kona mau hiʻohiʻona o kahi ʻano kanaka hou. Aia kekahi mau manaʻo e pili ana nā kūpuna o ka poʻe o kēia au me ka Denisovans a noho ma Kina a me ka papu Tibet. ʻO ka hōʻoia o kēia ka ʻāpana maʻamau o nā kamaʻāina o Tibet a me Denisovans, i ʻae iā lākou e hoʻololi kūleʻa i ke ola ma nā mauna.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo nā iwi o ka Denisovites ka mea hoihoi nui i nā ʻepekema, a ʻaʻohe mea i manaʻo e loaʻa ka iwi lio o Ovodov i waena o nā koena. Ua hana ʻia kēia e nā ʻepekema mai ka IMKB (Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology) SB RAS.
E like me ka ʻōlelo a ka leka, ʻo ke ʻano hou o ke kaʻina ʻana, ka hoʻonui ʻana o nā hale waihona puke no ke kaʻina ʻana me nā ʻāpana i makemake ʻia, a me ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi akahele o ka genome mitochondrial i hiki ai i ka manawa mua i ka mōʻaukala o ka ʻepekema ke kiʻi i ka genome mitochondrial o ka lio Ovodov. No laila, ua hiki ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia i ke kū ʻana ma ka panalāʻau o Altai hou o kahi lunamakaʻāinana o ka ʻohana equidae, no kahi ʻano i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua.
E like me ka wehewehe ʻana o ka ʻepekema, mai ke kuanaʻike o ka helehelena, ua like iki ka lio a Ovodov me he lio hou lā. Akā, he keʻa i waena o ka zebra a me ka hoki.
Wahi a nā limahana o ka Institute of Biology and Biology, SB RAS, ke hōʻike nei kā lākou loaʻa ʻana i kēlā manawa ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Altai e kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ko mākou manawa. He mea hiki paha i nā kamaʻāina o Altai kahiko, ke ʻimi pū me ke kāne Denisov, i ka lio o Ovodov. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole ka palena o nā meaola Siberian i ke aʻo ʻana i nā koena iwi o nā lio Altai wale nō. ʻO kā lākou hana pū kekahi me ke aʻo ʻana i nā holoholona o ka ʻāpana ʻEulopa o Lūkia, Mongolia a me Buryatia. Ma mua, hoʻokahi genome mitochondrial piha o ka lio Ovodov mai Khakassia, nona ka makahiki 48 tausani, ua ʻimi ʻia. Ma hope o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana o ka poʻe ʻepekema i ka genome o ka lio mai ke Ana ʻo Denisova, ua ʻike lākou he ʻano like nā holoholona. ʻO ka makahiki o ko Ovodov lio mai Denisova Cave ma kahi o 20 tausani mau makahiki.
Ua ho'ākāka mua ʻia kēia holoholona i ka makahiki 2009 e kekahi kanaka ʻimiʻāina mai Lūkia N.D. Hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Ovodov ma nā mea i loaʻa ma Khakassia. Ma mua ona, ua manaʻo ʻia he koina no nā koena o kēia lio. I ka wā i hoʻokō ʻia ai kahi loiloi morphological a me ka genetical genetic, ua ʻike maopopo ʻaʻole pololei kēia kuhi manaʻo a ke hana nei nā ʻepekema me nā koena o kahi hui lio o nā lio archaic i kipaku ʻia i waho o ka hapa nui o nā wahi e nā lio e like me ka tarpan a me ka lio o Przewalski.
