“Money is on Homo Heidelbergensis”

Did they have dueling scars?

23andMe told me that I had Neanderthal DNA but said nothing about Denisovan. I feel like I was gypped.

They say that all people have some Neanderthal DNA unless their ancestry is 100% Sub-Saharan African. I have a distant match on 23andMe whose ancestry is mostly Sub-Saharan African but about 18% European. According to 23andMe, he has more Neanderthal traits than 1% of their customers. That must be from his European ancestry.

Does Dennis Kucinich have any Denisovan DNA?

Probably not, but then they were bigger and more powerful than the biggest and most powerful WWE star.

Makes me dizzy, how much things have changed since I was in school.

Actually they found that they have some too. Which make sense. People moved in and out of Africa the way they moved in and out of every other place.

“I had my DNA done by National Geographic and 23 and Me both said that I had a certain percentage of Denisovan as part of my DNA”

Were you represented on the 2020 census?

Agreed, but hat was in the 60s ... Moreover if things have changed fast since then, they are changing even faster now. DNA, mtDNA and so on have been the principles behind the changes in human origin.

mtDNA now puts anatomically correct humans (us) back to 300,000 years. What were we doing all that time? Stop and realize that our modern civilization and all its achievements would be literally dust, if stopped now, in a mere 10,000 years.

Also many of the Old Guard have passed away and their iron-clad pet theories have gone with them. Same is true for Egyptology which is currently in total chaos.

Still consensus thinking, and institutionalized theories formulated in the 19th century is holding back an even faster pace

````—
No Denisovans were big like WWE wrestlers. They preferred cold high altitude climates (mountain tops like part of the Caucuses and Himalayas). Kucinich is, comparatively, a runt who lives at a low altitude in a warm climate.

Denisovan hybrids entered N America at some point, causing some northern tribes to have a high percent of Denisovan DNA (6% I think).

“...300,000 years. What were we doing all that time?”

It seems unlikely that we will ever know.

Unlikely now, but 20 years ago no one thought that haplogroups or mtDNA would tell so much about our past.

Then, there are a huge number of anomalies which are dismissed out of hand because they don’t fit the preconceived meme of anthropologists, archeologists and others in the scientific disciplines. So there is hope that things will clear up as long as we don’t regress into idiots

What part of the world did your recent ancestors come from? My late husband had mostly Scotish ancestry, and I think he more than 4% Neanderthal.
