Thanks for posting, blam.
I’m a big fan of Denisovans, first read about them in The Siberian Times, which also had, and perhaps still has, many photos and maps of the cave where the bone fragment was found. In the Altai area of Siberia. If they’d gather some DNA, I’d actually have mine tested. According to my very rare blood type, I have ancestors who came from that area, and my son’s type is easy to trace to Mongolia/Khazakstan area. All very peculiar, since we are blue=eyed, fair skinned people of Irish descent.

I've read that the Denisovian DNA is the most thoroughly analysed human DNA ever.
I've had the DNA of my whole family analysed. I'm yDNA R1b and mtDNA 'V'.
My grandmother, Mrs Smith, has the same DNA as Cheddar Man
