Genetic analysis of a finger bone found in a cave in Siberia, dating back 30 to 40 thousand years ago, suggests that this individual may not represent any hominid species yet described.
The DNA doesn't match modern humans or Neanderthals, two species that lived in that area around the same time — 30,000 to 50,000 years ago.
Instead, it suggests the Siberian species lineage split off from the branch leading to moderns and Neanderthals a million years ago, the researchers calculated. And they said that doesn't seem to match the history of human ancestors previously known from fossils.
