“Scientists link elusive human group to 150,000-year-old Chinese ‘dragon man’”
That’s almost as old as Joe ... but probably mentally sharper.
Guilty!
Oh, sorry, wrong thread. 😜
My wife was right. I just might be related to Godzilla.
An elusive human group more than 100,000 years ago interbred with modern humans. Who were time travelers.
Crucially, this gene has been shown to help modern men and women survive at high altitudes.

not mentioned is another gene that helps survive extreme cold.
So the Denisovans must have lived at high altitudes where it was always very cold. Yeti?
There are legends of a people who live high in the mountains and never came down to the low lands because they revered life.
