We keep finding out how little we really know.

ping for later. Unfortunately I have to go have lunch with my hominid friends right now.

I am not so sure on this one. I recall some ancient monkey or lemur was found a year or so ago and trumpeted as being a human ancestor. Now the reports are it is some ancient monkey or lemur which is the ancestor of other monkeys or lemurs.

In other news Bill Clinton says he would go out with her.

When asked for comments, Homelend Security Secretary Janet Napolitano repsonded that she was not an X-woman as had previosuly been reported, but rather simply an ex-woman.

There is no doubt that Siberian X Women are alive today.

I am no DNA expert but this article leaves me with more questions than it answers. A small bone could easily be contaminated. Even with Neanderthal they are doing over 25 individuals complete DNA to get a baseline of the DNA. There can be no baseline with one sample especially a small piece of bone. Bone is not a good source of DNA. I am mostly skeptical because of Nebraska man, Lucy, Hobbit....

2nd Div, thanks for posting these items, yea April, your probab;y right. Like to know how those DNA markers differ.In going back to these eolithic age sagas where was the present continent of Antartica located ?

I’ve read about cryptozoologists claiming a “remnant population” of neanderthals living in Russia...They claim the locals call them ‘alma’.

Here's another new hominid species.

  Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of ancient human through analysis of DNA from a finger bone unearthed in a Siberian cave. The extinct "hominin" (human like creature) lived in Central Asia between 48,000 and 30,000 years ago. An international team has sequenced genetic material from the fossil showing that it is distinct from that of Neanderthals and modern humans. Details of the find, dubbed "X-woman", have been published in Nature journal. Ornaments were found in the same ground layer as the finger bone, including a bracelet. Professor Chris Stringer, human origins researcher at London's Natural History Museum, called...

  Genetic material pulled from a pinky finger bone found in a Siberian cave shows a new and unknown type of pre-human lived alongside modern humans and Neanderthals, scientists reported on Wednesday.

  A fourth type of hominid, besides Neanderthals, modern humans and the tiny “hobbit”, was living as recently as 40,000 years ago, according to research published in the journal Nature. The discovery by Svante Pääbo and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, is based on DNA sequences from a finger bone fragment discovered in a Siberian cave.

  In 2008, archeologists working at the Denisova Cave in Siberia’s Altai Mountains discovered a tiny piece of a finger bone, believed to be a pinky, buried with ornaments in the cave. Scientists extracted the mitochondrial DNA (genetic material from the mother’s side) from the ancient bone and checked to see if its genetic code matched with the other two known forms of early hominids–Neanderthals and the ancestors of modern humans. What they found was a real surprise. The team, led by geneticist Svaante Paabo of the Max Planck Institute, discovered that the mtDNA from the finger bone matched neither–suggesting there...
