GGG ping.
So that’s where the Abominable Snowman tales come from!................
All Denesovians but from different populations.
The Pacific Islanders are the oldest, East Asians next then Siberians and American Indians last at about 15,000 years.(Yup, they're saying Denesovians may have been around as recent as 15k years ago)
Did Ivan T. Sanderson know about this?
Interesting photo from NATGEO showing where we all fit in, if someone can post it:
There were three branches: Shem, Ham, Japheth. Someone has finally found the last one of them. < /s >
Fascinating article; Thanks for the post
...
One suggestion is that the cave represents a border outpost for both species, one that was situated at the very eastern edge of the range of the Neanderthals, who were primarily a European species, and at the very western tip of the homelands of the Denisovans, who were an eastern species. Occasionally members from both groups would have reached the cave at the same time with amorous consequences.
It is an idea borne out by detailed studies of Dennys Neanderthal mother. Her genes show a particularly close affinity with Neanderthals who lived in Croatia, suggesting that the immediate predecessors of Dennys mother may have been part of a group who slowly migrated east from Europe towards Denisova where she encountered Dennys father at the outer edges of each others homelands.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Uh-oh.
They’re closing in on the vile Men of Leng.
Some things are better left undiscovered.
