The jawbone of a little-known form of ancient human has been discovered in western China. Scientists say these people lived as long as 150,000 years ago, and they were part of a group called Denisovans.
The Denisovans are a mystery. Up until now, their only remains — a few bone fragments and teeth — came from a cave called Denisova in Siberia.
In 2010, scientists concluded from those fragments and their DNA that Denisovans were slightly different from us — Homo sapiens — and slightly different from Neanderthals, but that they lived contemporaneously. In short, they were a third kind of human.

What’s juvenile about it?
There are tales of ‘Abominable Snowman’ from the Himalayas.
They had to come from somewhere.
The Neanderthals maybe didn’t die out completely until much more recently.
The modern humans were probably scared or terrified of them, so invented the tales to explain their presence...........
I’d hit it.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Got a thing for redheads have ya?
Go ugly early.
Does save on the beer money!
There is a Neanderthal site in Croatia at a place called Krapina (I don’t know if it is the only Neanderthal site in Croatia). Looks like that in honor of her possible Krapina ancestry they gave her a crappy hairdo. Beauty shops hadn’t been invented yet.
Uh-oh.
They’re closing in on the vile Men of Leng.
Some things are better left undiscovered.

Talk about synchronicity.
I’m sitting here watching a show on the SCI channel about the Denisovans and a possible Yeti connection.
It was made in 2016 and is titled “Yeti Or Not”.
Yes, and some FReeper thinks I made a juvenile comment.....................
