Please note that while this app once existed in iTunes for iPad, it is no longer available due to a recent requirement by Apple to bring older apps up to date on the newest apple products. Since I am a "one woman show", and pursuing other new projects, I've elected to no longer pursue mobile apps at this time. <br />

<b>Summary</b><br />
<i>Denisovan</i> is an interactive artist’s book by Heather D. Freeman, Associate Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This mobile app is neither a game, nor a book, but resides somewhere between the two and is available on iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices.<br />

The story is a fictional imagining of a girl who died 40,000 years ago. It was inspired by the genomic mapping of a contemporary of early humans and <i>Neanderthal:</i> the <i>denisovan hominin.</i> Bone fragments from a single individual were found in a Siberian cave, and paleogeneticists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology mapped the genome, determining that the fragments belonged to a previously unknown hominid.</div>

<div>
The story of human evolution is many things. One part of this story is the nurturing of children by mothers and fathers, generation after generation. We know that the <i>denisovan</i> girl had brown hair and eyes, but we can only speculate on her family structure, and how parent-child relationships may have evolved in the last 40,000 years.<br />
