I find this fascinating. 10 years ago we didn’t realise this branch of humanity existed.

A little more of the intriguing puzzle.

Looks like Denny has a bad case of dermatitis.

Hmm, in the first paragraph: “…learn more of the species’ complex bonds with humans.” Presumably they mean “other humans”.

Anyway, I’ll read it while drinking this tea.

How do you come up with that?

Heidelbergenis is half a million years ago, and (so far) only found in Africa and Europe. Denisovans found so far are all 50-100 thousand years old, found in Siberia. Neither the time nor the geography match.
