Ornaments were found in the same ground layer as the finger bone, including a bracelet. At 38-40k years ago that's as interesting as being a different species.

Thank you. That’s the ancient ancestor I want to imagine. ;^)

Of course, we don't know if it was consensual. I think the statute of limitations is 25,000 years. /s

X-woman branched off from the common ancestor of sapiens and neanderthal 500k years before sapiens and neanderthal split (per BBC). Even if the latter two homos got to humping, their hybrid offspring would be distinct from X-woman.
|........................................................ X-woman (48 - 30 KYA)
/
Common ancestor | | Homo neanderthalensis (300 - 30 KYA)
(1 MYA) \ /
(Homo ergaster?) | Homo heidelbergensis (circa 500 KYA) |
\
| Homo sapiens (200 KYA)
Dates are really rough, but it shows how the three species could have co-existed.

Don’t you think the “X-Woman” angle is a lot more exciting though?

I'm neither young nor a lady. I thought my name would make my gender obvious, Jess.
I'm sure no scientist is losing sleep over the hatred of a know-nothing like you, so I won't either.

Oh...yeah, screen names tell exactly who one is talking to...well...if you ARE a NYC guy, I have news for you...I think NYC sucks. I think of NYC like a rectal itch...thank goodness it is contained in one small area and it can’t spread any further because it is such a nasty hole.
And primarily I think that way because it is full of morons like you. You don’t know me. You know nothing about me. You are a pretentious, preening, pusillanimous pseudo-intellectual troll.
And if you are a scientist, I think even less of you because you know nothing of rational thought, linear process or even worse, you form an idea THEN seek to prove it true. You are - the opposite of a scientist, like most of the pencil necked geeks that are walking around pretending to know WTF they are talking about.

Hey, I understand. Not everyone could make it here. I'll bet you're a pretty big fish in whatever small pond you live in.
You dont know me. You know nothing about me.
That's wrong. I didn't know anything about you until you embarrassed yourself in public by declaring that science is a parasitic, fraudulent waste of time. And really, that's all I need to know about you to be confident that you're a drooling moron.
