The mysterious human ancestor that science can’t explain. We take a look at the mysterious human ancestor science can’t explain.
The story of human evolution just got even more bizarre. The genome of an extinct hominin species, the Denisovans, contains unusual snippets of DNA that seem to have come from yet another group. It could be evidence of an entirely new species of hominin, as yet unknown to science. Alternatively, it could be our first genetic record of one of the many species known only from their fossils. The new hominin has left its traces in the genome of a Denisovan, an extinct hominin known to exist from a finger bone and two teeth found in a Siberian cave.

I saw the Denisovan molar on another History channel program this past week. I think it was Megan Fox’s Legends of the Lost. Look at the size of it compared to human. Could they have been the giants of the Bible and other ancient literature and oral history of the Native Americans? Or maybe our very own Sasquatches.

…and Australian Aborigines carry 3-5% Denisovan DNA?
Traditional tribal people ask the ‘Old People’ out loud for permission to enter ‘sacred places’ (often billabongs and caves).
My now-deceased traditional Auntie-in-law referred to Yowies as ‘The Old Fellas’.
The Pintubi-1 skull (attributed to a ‘deformed’ Pintubi tribal member) displays characteristics of a Yowie (Sagital keel, large occipital bun, massive eye sockets)… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHDQXQrvYRQ
