Abstract in brief

Scientists successfully retrieved Denisovan mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the dental calculus of a 146,000-year-old cranium found in Harbin, northeastern China.
Despite challenges in obtaining DNA from traditional sources like teeth or bones, the mtDNA identified aligns with known Denisovan variation, suggesting a broader geographical distribution in Asia during the Middle Pleistocene.
This discovery enhances our understanding of Denisovan morphology and their relationships with other East Asian hominins, while also paving the way for further genetic research on ancient human populations.
