    These might well be the Denisovans...

    Sounds intriguing. Hopefully this is not a Piltdown type fraud.

    I forgot to add, the "Hobbits" of Flores island.

    Hmmmmmm. We have little Denisovan bones only, but we have DNA samples. It would be cool if they managed to get some DNA from The Red Deer Cave finds. That might establish if they are the same people. The Australian Aborigines have some Denisovan DNA code.

    There we go - thanks!!

    That's two more sets of "Adams and Eves" to the list...

    Speaking Bronze-Age Middle-Eastern mythologically, of course.

    Denisovans. That was a recent find, too.

    YES! And for me, one of the most intriguing.

    That's what blows my mind----we discovered an entirely new human species---from a finger bone and DNA. I think they've since found a tooth and toe bone (?)---but the story is in the DNA, which is so freaking exciting.

    That is really cool, Burns, thanks. Interesting to know what comes of it, and what else is discovered.
