Danh từTính từ
Số nhiều: Denisovans
This term is derived from the Denisova Cave in Siberia, where the first remains were discovered. It is used primarily in paleoanthropology and genetics to describe a specific lineage of archaic humans that existed alongside Neanderthals and early modern humans.
As a proper adjective or noun, it always maintains a capitalized first letter in formal scientific writing. While it functions as a noun to describe an individual member of the species, it is frequently used as an adjective to modify biological terms such as genome, DNA, or fossils.
