While it is somewhat interesting to learn a bit about the procreational habits of descendants of a particular, heavily patriarchal, now British Isle family tree branch from 5700 years ago, I'm even more interested to hear from research into those who had time well beyond their struggle for survival (already 80k+ years ago advanced from hunter-gatherers to farming, apparently) to congregate at Gobekli Tepe 11,000+ years ago. All the more, I'm interested in the Denisovans, who were living and using precision drills to make jewelry 40k+ years ago. There's apparently Denisovan DNA scattered through "the four corners" of the world.

I am curious as to why there is a Homo sapiens bottleneck at 50 to 70k years ago. Modern humans were nearly extinct due to a possible super volcano, but the Neanderthals and Denisovans didn’t seem to have suffered this set back. Curious, in my opinion.
