I do too, LLL. I actually read this hours ago and got lost clicking links, then googled Denisavon? people then closed out without thinking to reply to this thread.

Thanks, Marianne.

I wonder what happened to that top bone that is so jagged ? and the other one with the dent in it? Good article.

I'm wondering same thing Zoch. The top looks like a nasty fracture where the bottom looks like he was skinned or eaten.

Be nice if they could find more than a pinky and a couple of teeth from a Denisovan.

So what I get from this interview is they say so a lot. Must be their version of "you know" cause you know they say so you know just about everywhere.

This'un caught my eye: "Homo Neanderthal (who) descended from Denisovan Man (400,000 B.C.)

Confused?

Well this is a huge find for those archeologists but still very inconclusive. It seems these Denisovans spread from southeast Asia to China and to the islands? Still they are a mystery I see. Yet nobody know what they looked like either. I enjoyed the article. Let's hope more light will be thrown into these findings. Thank you Maryanne.
