GMTA... Dennis Kucinich. I had an especially hideous picture of him bookmarked that was making the rounds five or ten years ago, but it’s long gone. Definitely looked alien.

Haven’t heard from them in a long time. May be because I run with a different types of folks these days.

Interesting to see that the Denisovans mated with the Neanderthals, neither would be genetically compatible with the human genome. Cro-Magnon man is our genetic ancestors and the Neanderthals died out without mating with Cro-Magnon, at least from the genetic code that they have been able to determine, but they did co exist for a period of time. Or we can believe Zacharia Stitchen and the story of creation written from the Sumerians. Its all a good read

A study in Nature journal shows that Denisovans co-existed with Neanderthals and interbred with our species - perhaps around 50,000 years ago.
Apparently even some of the goofier Denisovians still try to breed with humans.

Maybe Denisovan pollen took root in this Neanderthal’s nostrils.

Is this where the Muslim’s involvement in space comes in?

Yes, a blast from the far past. Haven’t seen mention of them in years.

I'm confused! This species has not and will not (Thank heavens!) reproduce. Without fossils of offspring, how did they determine copulation took place?

Bingo. It seems time to stop referring to Neanderthals and these folks as “other species of ancient humanoid”. They are us, just an earlier and isolated version.

The Alpha Centaurians stocked Terra with many different species of hominids as well as a variety of other humanlike creatures.Tell us about it. They are everywhere!

They think they've reached perfection in the DNA field and following the sequence but I think not....
So which one of these "breeds" came from apes??

Heavens to Betsy, good luck with that!
