TL;DR: Using targeted enrichment of mitochondrial DNA, it is shown that cave sediments represent a rich source of ancient mammalian DNA that often includes traces of hominin DNA, even at sites and in layers where no Hominin remains have been discovered.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the analysis of DNA from 728 sediment samples that were collected in a grid-like manner from layers dating to the Pleistocene epoch, revealing the sequence of Denisovan, Neanderthal and faunal occupation of Denisova Cave, and evidence for the appearance of modern humans at least 45,000 years ago.

TL;DR: This paper used hybridization capture to obtain genome-wide nuclear data, as well as mitochondrial and Y-chromosome sequences of 13 Neanderthals from two Middle Palaeolithic sites in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a non-destructive method for the gradual release of DNA trapped in ancient bone and tooth artefacts, which resulted in the recovery of ancient human and deer mitochondrial genomes, which allowed them to estimate the age of the pendant at approximately 19,000-25,000 years.

TL;DR: In this article, the population history of ancient hominins from trace amounts of nuclear DNA in sediments has been studied and two radiation events in Neanderthal history during the early part of the Late Pleistocene were identified.
