The foot bone is curved and one of the teeth has three roots. I just don’t believe things evolved that quickly.
You don’t see people with curved bones and growing different root systems for their teeth.
As a teen, I wouldn’t mind dating her...
Thanks blam.
Odds are good that we killed (and probably ate) them all.
At the least the Neanderthal and the Denisovan are still alive in our genes. I recently read that some current populations may have almost 500 Denisovan genes, and that most humans today have 1 to 4% Neanderthal genes. Don’t we have about 20,000. A recent article said that Neanderthal gave light skin, red hair and blue eyes. My late husband had all those, plus an extremely muscular body, big bones, long torso, short legs, very hard teeth and head, receding chin, slight brow ridges, crystaline teeth, early maturation, and an explosive temper. His ancestry was northern Scotch/Viking. I suspect he was more than 4% Neanderthal, I wish I had some of his DNA to send to one of those Ancestry companies.
Lots if you are concerned about the long term viability of this forum. Most adults are turned off by adolescent humor and turn elsewhere for news and important Conservative information.
I haVe Denisovan genes. As more DNA is found in old remains, I'd be surprised if more and more people show descent from various human varieties. It's not as if the pre-DNA-testing evidence wasn't there, the bias to avoid recognizing it was, though, and some people still have that, even in the face of the DNA evidence.KEYWORDS: neandertal; neandertals; neanderthal; neanderthals
The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Pygmy Skeletons
One far flung theory is presented by Virgilio R. Pilapil, who asserts that the Tennessee graves did contain pygmy remains, and that the pygmies arrived in ancient times from southeast Asia, where today's diminutive Aetas live.
To support his case, Pilapil recalls Barry Fell's examination of the Tennessee skeletal material. Fell noted that: (1) The skull brain capacity was equivalent to only about 950 cubic centimeters, about the volume of a non-pygmy 7-year old; (2) The teeth were completely developed and showed severe wear characteristic of mature individuals; and (3) The skulls were brachycephalic with projecting jaws. Which actually describes the skulls of Modern Adult Philippine Aetas.
"Pygmy skulls from Tennessee, have been found that match a race of pygmies from the Philippines and Malaysia. The Malaysian and Philippine pygmies are regarded by archaeologists as remnants of a formerly extensive Mongoloid pygmy race that once occupied much of southern East Asia. Some Scholars believe that their characteristics can still be recognized in the sporadic dark skin, squat stature and nappy hair observed among some southern Chinese. However, there's a further riddle of the Tennessee pygmies - they were found in association with " Europoids and inscribed artifacts of Europoid type"

Whoops, “I’d be surprised if more and more people show descent” should have been “I’d be surprised if more and more people don’t show descent”.
Thanks Fred Nerks!
So, have these skeletons been C14 dated? Also, was there a time estimated for when these skeletons/bodies were buried? Could they have been brought back by an American seafarer who spent time in the Far East. Who did the varnish job?
If you have any personal articles of his, tooth, false teeth, comb, brush, even hair, they can get DNA from it..............
The most likely article I have is a beret with a shinny hatband inside. Do the commercial Ancestry places take that kind of artifact? Also can you get DNA from chunks, possibly teeth left in cremains?
Teeth in cremains? Not if it was burned, DNA was destroyed.
The hatband would be ideal, if no one else has worn it since.
Just swab the kit’s provided swap all over it to get maximum sample....................
The varnish job was probably done locally -- had the remains been handed over to the Smithsonian, they'd have been dumped in the Atlantic.
See below. They're getting DNA everywhere these days.

Wouldn’t that DNA be dirty?................
