Where Did The Denisovans Go?

Scientists are not sure what happened to the Denisovans or how they became extinct. It was most likely a variety of circumstances, but we’re still not sure. “With a sample size of [one] for sites with Denisovan remains, we really cannot say a great deal about the possible persistence of Denisovans for longer elsewhere or where ‘elsewhere’ might be,” said Jacobs and Roberts.
“So, it is also critical to find more sites with Denisovan DNA and fossils, so that we can start to draw more meaningful inferences about their past geographic distribution and its similarities and differences to those of Neanderthals and modern humans in space and time.” Still, one critical question remains: why did the different archaic humans decide to mate in the first place?
