Scientists say an entirely separate type of human identified from bones in Siberia co-existed and interbred with our own species.
The ancient humans have been dubbed "Denisovans" after the caves in Siberia where their remains were found.
There is also evidence that this population was widespread in Eurasia.
A study in Nature journal shows that Denisovans co-existed with Neanderthals and interbred with our species - perhaps around 50,000 years ago.
An international group of researchers sequenced a complete genome from one of the ancient hominins (human-like creatures), based on nuclear DNA extracted from a finger bone.

If they interbred with us then they were not "an entirely separate type of human".

Denisovians.
So... were there Cave Denisovians? Did they have Cave Denizens as pets?

I think the author of this article was drunk when he wrote this. Seems to contradict itself a bit.

Humans have 'interbred' with angels, aliens, Nephalim,gods, demons, werewolves... and the list just goes on and on.

The Alpha Centaurians stocked Terra with many different species of hominids as well as a variety of other humanlike creatures.
