Episode 8.3 Why are we the only human species left when our ancestors had children with Neanderthals and Denisovans? This episode follows those encounters from western Asia across Ice Age Europe and Asia, revealing how early pioneers vanished, how Denisovan DNA still helps many Tibetans live at high altitude, and how pieces of the Neanderthal genome remain in living people.
