The cavemen, called Denisovans, was identified from DNA taken from a tooth and finger bone found in a cave in Siberia. There were at least three races or species of human ancestor for modern humanity. Africans, Caucasian, and Asians had different ancestors and humanity is a hybrid species, not one single race as the obsolete "out of africa" theory incorrectly states.
More recent findings seem to suggest that there was considerable geneflow between denisovans, sapiens, and maybe even neanderthals. With so much interbreeding going on, can we really call them separate "species"? If I understood things correctly than the difference between a denisovan and a homo sapiens is about the same as the biggest genetic difference between modern humans. It seems more like we're all the same human - just with regional variations that have shrunk due to gene flow??

Interesting but why has there been no further news on this? It'd explain alot about why we all look and act so different. Mongrels the lot of us!!
To say there's nothing new to be found is silly. In 500 years people will look at us and laugh at how backwards we are,and consider themselves the peak of human evolution or understanding. Unless we all blow ourselves to Hell or run out of natural resources and starve to death.

neanderthal chose to die out rather than fight back against modern man. evidence suggest neanderthal had larger brain, higher intellegnce, creative craftsmanship and respect for nature.

or maybe it could just be the fact that "they" have been hiding this known fact of history until now..."they" have no choice but to say it's New...for there is nothing "new" under the sun.....

i don't think anybody can look that far back. we live on theories, and people believe it.

Scientist's have made a discovery that up until 2090 there were apparently WHITE humans living Europe. What am I saying ... there wont be any Scientist's either :)
