    Sammanfattning : From Fossil to Fact: The Denisova Discovery as Science in Action is a study of the (actor) networked relations that make and shape science through the case of the discovery of the Denisova human.In 2010, Nature published the article “The complete mitochondrial DNA genome of an unknown hominin from southern Siberia”, the article revealed the results of mtDNA sequencing of a fossilised finger bone excavated from the Denisova Cave in Siberia, showing that the fossil belonged to an individual of a previously unknown type of humans, the Denisovans.

    Sammanfattning : Demographic forces shaping the genetic variation we observe today can include population divergences, admixture events and continuity through time. The advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies, together with developments in molecular and bio-informatics methods, mean the number of ancient genomes available for inference has risen steeply.
