People in New Guinea and the Pacific Islands have traces of Denisovian genes. The Tibetans have a 'high altitude' gene that comes from the Denisovans too.

“something with an Asian flavor but closely related to Neandertals.”

Maybe Denisovans was related to the current Denny’s restaurant chain.

‘The Denisovans’. Season 1, episode 12: Mister Spok fondles the skull of a Denisovan maiden and remarks,”Fascinating. I could place my beer on top of her head.”

"Of all the species of humans that ever existed only one survived."

Huh? What makes you say Democrats are the same species as us?

Do you have any evidence backing up this ridiculous claim?
