More than 100,000 years ago in a Siberian cave there lived a child with a loose tooth. One day her molar fell out, and fossilized over many millenniums, keeping it safe from the elements and the tooth fairy. But she wasn’t just any child. Scientists say she belonged to a species of extinct cousins of Neanderthals and modern humans known today as the Denisovans. And in a paper published Friday in the journal Science Advances, a team of paleoanthropologists reported that she is only the fourth individual of this species ever discovered. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/07/science/denisovans-baby-tooth-molar-dna.html
Pretty sure they could have just gone to San Diego and extracted one of Denny's teeth, if they wanted Denisovan DNA. barfo
Genesis|6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
So, perhaps not all from Africa. I enjoy paleoanthropology, but I do find the conclusions sometime illogical, probably due to being premature.
"I just finished my field study in the the cave." "Well. We are going to have to cut your department's budget. Can't keep funding these studies that end up proving nothing." "We have found a tooth! This tooth is an anthropolical marvel and will open up a new study in ethnology! Just wait till next year!" "I knew you were going to say something like that."
