The Lost Cousins of Homo Sapiens

That is quite interesting, it is amazing how short amount of time compared to the age of our planet there have been humans and human like beings. Thank you for posting.

I wish you well

Gee I thought you were talking about your average MP, you know, six inch fangs, knuckles that drag the ground, speak in less syllables than Sylvester Stallone, and who's favorite phrase is, "Me smash GI skull."

I mean those others listed in the chart were discovered a few years ago, although I did not see big foot, the honey island monster, the boggy creek monster or the yeti listed.

I doubt these would be Yeti, Bigfoot and Sasquatch and other such creatures, the descriptions of these being are usually more ape like. The human ancestor that is presented in this article would look different than us yes but still clearly be human, Yeti, Bigfoot and Sasquatch and so on is allot bigger than us if they exist and if they are related to humans or are some lost evolutionary step they are further from us than this discovery is.

I wish you well

Homo denisova has been a puzzle to me. A widespread, presumably, immigrant out of Africa, possibly prior to the Home erectus migration, that left very little evidence despite apparently having a sophisticated enough material culture to make bracelets.

Perhaps the group that sheltered in Denisova cave were anomalous and the other bands lived in forests, which are notorious for destroying organic material before it can be fossilized or otherwise preserved. The genetic evidence does strongly suggest they were reasonably common and socially adaptable (interbreeding extensively both with H sapiens and H neanderthalensis) which, IMO, should mean their remains should be more common than a single cave containing a few artifacts and 2 teeth, a finger bone and toe bone (from at least 3 individuals).

I spent quite some time on researching Bigfoot. The only substantial evidence was the Patterson-Gimlin film and I eventually concluded that the filmed Bigfoot was Gimlin in a suit.

I wonder what people will look like in a hundred years and how much Wallmart will have to do with it.
