An archaic Homo? I thought that they couldn't breed!

Only if you believe in "evolution." Personally, I do not believe that I am related to, or a descendant from a monkey. Are these the same professional pointy heads that tried to get everyone to believe that oil was the product derived from dead and decaying dinosaurs?

Microcephalin gene? Does this result in pinheads?
This explains liberalism!

There are no scientists now, or ever, that have ever said oil is from dead dinosaurs.
They've said (accurately) for a long time that oil comes from fossil marine microscopic plankton (largely diatoms and algae.)
There has never been a scientific theory that oil comes from dinosaurs.
For whatever reason, people think there was for three reasons:
1) When you say, "fossil" people think "dinosaurs" though only a tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the fossils on earth are dinosaurs. And the average person has such limited scientific knowledge they don't know what a diatom or plankton is.
2) An oil company developed an amusing cartoon and billboard campaign linking oil to dinosaurs, which remained fixed in people's brains
3) A collection of idiots led by the moronic Jerome Corsi, in arguing for abiogenic oil, have created an imaginary strawman to argue against, that "scientists" claim oil is from "dinosaurs."

"from an archaic Homo"
Old homos are strange.

Phytoplankton are technically plants, of course, but it's important to note again we're talking about plankton in water, not land plants (which forms coal.)
And like I said, there is not now, and never has been, a scientific theory that oil comes from dead dinosaurs.

No scientist ever pushed such a theory. Dinosaurs as the source of oil is the result of ignorant laypeople trying to understand or dishonest haters of reason trying to misrepresent a Biogenic Theory of petroleum.

Within modern humans, a group of closely related haplotypes at this locus, known as haplogroup D, rose from a single copy 37,000 years ago and swept to exceptionally high frequency (70% worldwide today) because of positive selection. So it sounds like 70% of us are descended from a single common ancestor who lived 37,000 years ago?

Our muzzi friends think we came from monkeys and pigs. Hmmm, maybe this ass is in the tank with them.

Haplogroup D is Japanese, Tibetans, Tajiks, and Andaman Islanders.

Scientists are trying to PROVE something they know can never be proved. It's the road to 'GRANTS FOREVER'.
