A previously unknown kind of human......

[Tuff Gong]

—<span style="font-weight: bold">the Denisovans</span>— likely roamed Asia for thousands of years, probably interbreeding occasionally with humans <span style="font-weight: bold">like you and me</span>, according to a new genetic study.

In fact, living Pacific islanders in Papua New Guinea may be distant descendants of these prehistoric pairings, according to new analysis of DNA from a girl's <span style="font-weight: bold">40,000-year-old pinkie bone</span>, found in Siberian Russia's Denisova cave.

Re: A previously unknown kind of human......

Fasinating.. Glad some one else noted this..

A fourth form of humans coexisting.. the other being the neanderthals and the Hobbits from inodenisa.. Still want to kown if the Neanderthasls interbred...

I think this is the story of immigration.. waves interminginlging making nonsense of the idea of race... Race a poltical economic contruct.. not biological..

also it shows genocide is part of the human condition... that the jamaican milieu is universal..

But you know tuffy mi ah hidiaot what me think is sell out, unconsiosiousness..

If you are a descendant of Tainos like you claim, then you should be ashamed of yourself for grasping at straws to justify what the Europeans have done to your ancestors in jamaica.Some how i am starting to believe that your claim to Taino heritage is mendacious at best.AND IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF THE TAINOS.

Re: A previously unknown kind of human......

The dna in the bone fragment had the mix of two different neanderthal types and one of which was tied to the same strain in New Guinea when gives some indication of migratory patterns
Before the ability to decipher the dna codes, this bone was just stored and classified as modern human.

A fascinating PBS report.

Really::::::not straws facts we Taino did commit passive genocide on the Ciboney.... We did develop barbeque for on the Kalenko.... Maori did eat their way through the andemans pheno type.. The Romans did commit genocide on the Euructians, Carthagenians the Scandinavians did eat the original dark haired prussians, the Norwegans did commit Harikari on the lapps .. Timujin well lets say his list was numerous on his genocidal tenedncy...

There is evidence that the Neanderthals were at least partially edicated as a food source by the humans... there is evidence of human genocide across every continent.. in india, in Africa.. the Khoi were eradicated, the small men of the congo as well are being decimated.. so merely presenting genocide as part of the

Re: A previously unknown kind of human......

I read this and wondered if this was not the work of a Homo sapien sapien hunting party... ie like the plains native americans would pen the bullalo and go on a feeding frenzy ??? or as the seacond asiatic migration ate commited genocide on the first asiatic migration in meso america ? Again it comes back to genocides of the group..

Why I contradict this cannibal theory is that the idea of a group eating on of its own is unsual,. most respected their own dead while eating the dead of other groups.. it is unusual in Africa for primates to eat their own primates while still they munch their way through the great apes !



Archaeologists in Spain have unearthed the remains of a possible family of 12 Neanderthals who were killed 49,000 years ago.

Markings on the bones show the unmistakeable signs of cannibal activity, say the researchers, with the group having probably been killed by their peers.

The remains were found in a cave in the Asturias region of Northern Spain. Details of the find appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Although the highly fragmented bones of six adults and six children were found in a cave, it is thought they probably lived and died on the surface before the ground collapsed beneath them naturally after their death.

Their end was a bloody one, with distinct markings on the bones showing they fell victim to cannibalism.

&quot;They all show signs of cannibalism. They have cut marks on many bones including skulls and mandibles,&quot; said Professor Carles Lalueza-Fox of Barcelona's Institute of Evolutionary Biology, who lead the research.


A fragment of Neanderthal bone found at the site
&quot;The long bones have been fragmented to obtain the marrow so all the signs of cannibalism that have been described... in other Neanderthal sites are present in all these individuals.&quot;

Staying home
The claim that the group were a family comes from analysis of their mitochondrial DNA, genetic material found within animal cells that is passed down the female line.

The genetic data suggested that while the three adult males in the group shared the same maternal lineage, the three adult females had different maternal origins.

Proof, say the researchers, that at least in this Neanderthal family, the women came from outside the group, while the men remained within the family group on reaching maturity.

This model of what is called &quot;patrilocality&quot; is often seen among modern humans, says Professor Lalueza-Fox, with men remaining in the family home in many societies across the world.
