Homo Juluensis: New Human Species Discovered

The study suggests that Denisovans may not represent a separate species but rather a population within the Homo juluensis lineage.

Homo juluensis likely faced extinction due to environmental challenges and competition with modern humans.

The study suggests that there is greater diversity among ancient populations in eastern Asia than previously understood.
