Well worth reading. A fascinating write up in National Geographic about a Russian fossil of another homo species. Interestingly, it appears to have interbred with modern humans some 40-60,000 years ago. The DNA tests in certain populations shows a large % of this particular Denisovan DNA, while the original population of the Denisovans must have remained rather small (but not interbred) based on available data. Case of the Missing Ancestor DNA from a cave in Russia adds a mysterious new member to the human family. ngm.nationalgeographic/2013/07/125-missing-human-ancestor/shreeve-text
