It has never occurred to me that Apes may have lived in Germany that long ago.

Still does not change my mind on getting a pet monkey that can drive a mini car and turn flips on command.

Well, they beat me also. I’m still struggling to walk upright. In physical and spiritual terms.

Evolution is a hypothesis; to call it a theory is not scientific.
God’s creation and order are pure science.
Praise the Lord!

The Denisovans May Have Been More Than a Single Species
This article is dated April 11, 2019. It is contained in my current issue of Discover Magazine dated December 7, 2019.
I read this article to say that there are/was three groups of Denisovians that were as distinct from each other as much as a Neanderthal differs from a Denisivian and that they should/could each be given a different name. Am I reading this correctly?

What, you mean it was warm in Europe? Tropical even?

Can't be true. History's "Ancient Aliens" show posits that we were created and modified (as needed) by extra-terrestials, and never went thru any primate phases. And I believe everything I see on CATV.

And the Mid-East was a lush tropical forest, at one time, too. Heh.

LOL.
That “AA” shows goes too fast around corners and off the road, many times. But they do put forth some interesting ideas, sometimes.

The climate was warmer then today. The late Miocene underwent a gradual cooling trend.
Last common of the modern great apes and humans was capable of both living high in the trees and walking upright on the ground.
Both traits were present in early primates before hominids emerged.

"And the Mid-East was a lush tropical forest, at one time, too. Heh." Yup, and then that EVIL contintental drift slammed two subcontintents together, causing the rise of the Himlalayas, blocking the moist air that once blew over the land, causing desertification.

Actually we were the aliens pet monkeys. We were too much trouble for them so they stranded us on Earth. :)
