Genetic material pulled from a pinky finger bone found in a Siberian cave shows a new and unknown type of pre-human lived alongside modern humans and Neanderthals, scientists reported on Wednesday.

The creature, nicknamed "Woman X" for the time being, could have lived as recently as 30,000 years ago and appears only distantly related to modern humans or Neanderthals, the researchers reported.

This is not at all surprising.

The sequence indicates the hominin’s line diverged about a million years ago from the line that gave rise to both humans and Neanderthals and that split about 500,000 years ago.

That makes it younger than Homo erectus, the pre-human that spread out of Africa to much of the world about 1.9 million years ago.

“It is some new creature that has not been on our radar screen so far,” said Svaante Paabo, a colleague of Krause’s who specializes in analyzing ancient DNA.

And it would have lived near to both modern humans and Neanderthals. “There were at least three ... different forms of humans in this area 40,000 years ago,” Paabo said.

Is this another “missing link” or is it another “dead branch”?

They’re always dead branches because we were CREATED!
You’d think it would dawn on these “brains” someday.

"It was a sequence that looked something like humans but really quite different."
Sounds like some Globull Warming science going on here.

What do you mean to convey by posting that horrid pic???

The invading Nephilim I’m sure provided some genetic “variety” according to Genesis prior to the flood. I’ll bet they’ll find a lot of ‘broken” branches the better they get at this genetic stuff!

The creature, nicknamed “Woman X” = “The Perfect 10”

So is it a new human ancestor OR a pre-human ancestor. Big difference between the two. One is human and one is not. That's why I never get too excited about this crap. It can't be both and if they don't know, then they don't know any more about it than I do.

Woman X could have lived as recently as 30,000 years ago?
I thought I saw her only yesterday!!

Lol, I went hunting for a picture to post but it wasn’t what I wanted after all.
