Modern data indicate the initial settlement of the territory of Northern Asia about 800 ka BP by populations of Homo erectus, who came with the first migration wave from Africa. Early hominins moved to the east of Eurasia in two ways – south through Hindustan to East and Southeast Asia and north through the Central Asian Highlands to Central and North Asia. The settlement of erectus in Siberia most likely occurred from the southwest, from the low-mountain and foothill regions of Altai, where the most ancient Early Paleolithic sites are known – Karama, Ulalinka and MK 1. The next archaeologically documented period of the ancient history of North Asia is associated with the settlement of the Denisovans population in the middle of the Middle Pleistocene. During the migration of some of the late Homo heidelbergensis from the Levant to the east, they came into contact with the descendants of Asian erectus. As a result of these processes, the Denisovans were formed, which appeared in the south of Siberia about 300 ka BP.
