Tooth places Denisovans in Southeast Asia.

A molar tooth found in Tam Ngu Hao 2, or Cobra Cave, in Laos probably belonged to a member of a cryptic group of hominids called Denisovans, who are known from ancient DNA pegging them as close Neandertal relatives. Whatever evolutionary ID Denisovans held, the tooth adds to suspicions that the hominids lived in Southeast Asia's tropical forests, as well as Central Asia's cold mountain ranges and Siberia. Before the Tibetan Plateau tooth, which was attached to a jawbone along with another tooth, all known Denisovan fossils came from Siberia. [Extracted from the article]
