[@tashinamgya5922]

Thank you for the great presentation. Btw I am Tibetan origin and find it very interesting

[@gawanamgyalgyatso3603]

You included Tibet into China’s map. I hope you better to learn further about Tibet and its territory. Tibet is Independent country and occupied by Chinese since 1959. Tibet is never part of china.

[@notapplicable4283]

Ah found the brainwashed American.

[@lakshmi9433]

💯

[@Tenzin600]

Well said 👍👍👍

[@ogathingo8885]

Once this place belong to Greater Tibet, now occupied by China…

[@Tamerlane33]

So????? News will show who is administrating the area . Even nagas don't consider themselves indian . But currently india govt. administer the state and so it is shown in india map. Nothing wrong about it

[@ranjan.zahreela]

These are the most valued articles I have on youtube.

[@Pain1959.]

Now search Tibetan legends of how first Tibetans emerged.

[@Kim-m2z]

Tibetans are rare breed

[@tendar6666]

I am Tibetan and I knew I was different from other human. 😅

[@Fiery_wings1]

Excellent presentation.. I'm hooked!

[@taidelek9994]

Tibetan are the decendant of Denisovian

[@divyanshuadarsh9850]

Your voice is so calming.

[@Glee_Tourist]

My ancestors had a good time with Denisovans.

[@dhondupgyatso7603]

👍❤️🙏🏻 I’m from Tibet. Thank you for the discovery. Precious indeed!!

[@RajrishiS7]

Good to see you miss Ramesh After long time!!!!

[@tjay8433]

mam you are a good science populist in india. plz make a seperate channel dedicated for content like this.

[@pratikumarwadia6821]

Sandhya is and always has been too good

[@Subhashish69]

Excellent work! Congratulations!

[@preciousreading1934]

Legend has it that, Once in TIBET, there used to be a lonely Giantess and was impregnated by a ' Yati / a kind of monkey ' and a tall and hairy but of lesser human quality humanoids originated thus and they also spread on the earth according to a well famous folk story.

[@ashuricha]

You’re the best Sandhya ❤

[@thefoolishscholar183]

Tibetans, sherpas, people these regions have a specific mutation which helps them survive in low atmospheric pressure where in they can absorb more oxygen from nature at higher altitudes than an avg. human. Imagine if this mutation has some connection to denisovens. That would be wild!

[@pushkarnalawade3039]

Only fair to expect that. I'm with you on this...

[@faithfulshadow]

Study show Tibetan has EPAS1 gene which is said to be inherited from Denisoven. Due to which we tibetan and Himalayan region can adapt better in high altitude

[@Sid-s1n]

Sherpa are tibetans who migrated to nepal long long ago,word sherpa is tibetan word meaning people of east

[@tombahma]

@@Sid-s1n dont tell sherpas that. they like to separate themselves from the Tibetans at every opportunity they get. i dont know why ?

[@1user1212]

@@tombahmait’s not sherpas who do that but Nepalis. Nepalis even ignore Tenzing Sherpa’s own autobiography and his sons’ accounts that they are Tibetan. Instead they claim he’s Nepali. I understand Nepalis don’t have many heroes or heroines for that matter but cultural appropriation and deliberate misidentification is also not ethical. Same goes for present day celebrities like Ani Choying Dolma who they claim are Nepali.

[@valevisa8429]

I have 2.5 % Denisovan and 2.7 Neanderthal DNA.I am central European.

[@dkq986]

Amazing!!

[@alani3992]

Those Huns & Mongols.

[@AB034TX]

Fossils absent in Asia could be due to climatic conditions. Siberia being cold could preserve bodies/remains.

[@saisrinivasv.d136]

But we have Dinosaur fossils, which are far older than Denisovans

[@AB034TX]

@@saisrinivasv.d136 If burial happened suddenly than the climate plays lesser role. Humans on the other hand could have died violently and left in the open. Depends on many factors.

[@akash22791]

One of the fields where Russians and Europeans collaborate. A team from Oxford worked on these fossils found in Russia.

[@azjahptgrg730]

These types of documentaries should have been shown on Indian TV so people would know the truth of humanity. Instead daily dose of harmful mythic cartoons are shown. Atleast a good start.

[@vinsin328]

Indians are not rational people.

[@Dhanan-J]

very informative

[@shang_chi8626]

In my opinion you’re somehow correct as there are many remote Himalayan Terrain in Tibet where stone made coffins are preserved with skeletons lasting since ages with a height of near about 8-9 ft folk stories says that once Tibet used to be an ocean 🌊 that’s why salt water lakes are most common in Tibet though today its called roof of the world 🌍 even a region called guge kingdom surrounded by seamounts just like we see in the deep 🌊 ocean

[@NeerajSingh-uv9xe]

Great content, but it is essential to display the correct map of India. Even today's KZbinrs are well-educated and aware of the accurate representation of India's map. As a media house, it is crucial for you to not only show the disputed parts of Kashmir and Ladakh, but also to refrain from considering Arunachal Pradesh as a disputed region.

[@alani3992]

So you want to show British conquest borders? Not like the people of Arunachal etc were consulted to determine anything.

[@NeerajSingh-uv9xe]

@@alani3992 living in a pseudo country which was unnatural made by the Britishers and some Indians and then lecturing US 🤣 Good try but next time try better.

[@giokensiga673]

They must be flirty people.

[@ogathingo8885]

Thanks for this very interesting video. In legends and fairy tales, there is always some truth in it: so it would be interesting to investigate the Tibetan cosmological theory that the Tibetans were the children of an ape and an ogres. Their halfbreed children were half human and half ape. Their descendants slowly lost the tail and became more humanoid . The modern Tibetans are the descendants of the 18 children of this legend…

[@faithfulshadow]

Research has shown Tibetan having EPAS 1 which likely inherited from denisovan. This gene help Tibetan and Himalayan region to adapt to high altitude and ability to function on low oxygen

[@AkashVora]

Awesome finally finding our post Neanderthal ancestors

[@Tanzin-i6g]

Tibetans are new Denisovans.

[@studytime2570]

Denisovans might be the ancestors of modern Chinese. Thats why they've the distinctive look..

[@missalberta5838]

funny

[@jitgtij]

Not just Chinese, the whole east Asian lineage all the way to Australia natives

[@aa6eheia156]

​@@jitgtij native Americans also look like that

[@lakshmi9433]

It proofs that Tibet and china is totally different!!

[@motherfathergentleman363]

Sadly even the science reporter herself showcasing the mislead human evolution poster.

[@sauron2000000]

Cool. I will not say anything else.

[@Pain1959.]

Tibetan origin stories and her explanations clearly matches albeit slightly mythical, Tibetans believe they emerged out of union of two different ape species.

[@varunsharma3532]

My son

[@rajiv1697]

I thought she was a denisovan by the text written besides her on video image lol

[@pr4495]

Vaanar were predecessors to denisovans?

[@ManOfSteel1]

Tibet is not china sweetheart.

[@varunsharma3532]

2:09 west thought they existed

[@tenzang5830]

Mam … please don’t include Tibet country with China in map.

[@User-vbhhnvgjmt]

That true, it is in China. Because Tibet established by ancient sinotibetan from first time as China. Also Part of Qing Dynasty. And until today.

[@dreamadventure8220]

You Chinese don't have Tibetan DNA 😂😂😂 ,

the D haplogroup gene only found in jomon(japan) ....central tibetans(tibet) and a tribe in east africa which is interesting…..btw u look cute and denisovan urself🤗😚😉some tribe of indian r really prettier than all nationalities 😍

[@dreamadventure8220]

Also in Andamnese tribe, Siberian and native Americans

[@LaniJeb96960]

Melanesians have the most Denisovans dna… they don’t live in high altitude lol

[@whyamihere2250]

but melanesians didnt get EPAS1 genes only the tibetans got EPAS1 gene giving them high altitude genes that is why they were able to survive high altitude

[@dreamadventure8220]

Malaysian are mixed with Arabs and Indians, that's why

[@dhondupgyatso7603]

👍🙏🏻❤️

[@llbodlearning8591]

These is getting confusing. Denisovans, Erectus, Sapians or anybody else. Who has maximum gene pool?
