Pleistocene finds of human milk-teeth from the Denisova cave in the High Altai

The Denisova cave is a key Palaeolithic site in the Altai Mountains with 14 layers of cultural deposits dating from the Acheulian to the Upper Palaeolithic. Fragmented human remains originate from some layers corresponding to different stages of the cave habitation. Genetic analysis reveals specific gene pool of the cave population, possibly, an ancestral form Neanderthal man, and also euhominid. The author present an assessment of the data study of milk-teeth may provide. Anthropological analogies suggest that the Denisova cave ancestral forms could have been related by their biological origin with early Homo of the Near East. As a result of millennia-long active factors (isolation, environmental pressure, and genetic drift) the Altai Homo had acquired certain morphological specifics.
