Ancient humans and history.
 

Is there anyone here that's into ancient humans and how it all began?? If so let's talk.:D

Sure, which ancient humans?

Neandthals, denisovan, and early homo sapiens. I just recently started learning about them and became very interested.

From what I read, denisovan bones and artifacts are a rare find but with dating technology improving it is possible that some finds could be them ,and were wrongly identified. It's crazy to think all 3 types of humans shared the earth at one point.
Maybe it's the great mystery of what happened to the other 2 that really sucked my into the subject. Also knowing history does repeat itself the story is very humbling. For me so far it's a strangely romantic/sad story.
I am not sure how much of either one of the groups I have in me, but I really want to find out. I been looking into that "me and 23" test kit. I am sure one of these days I am going to say the hell with it and do it.

I tried finding a study I read recently and I am sure they claim there are now 5 types of humans. I tried finding it...... but I just can not find it. As for the other 2 you mentioned, I suspect they got assimilated but not forgotten.

I did not know there was more than one type of ancient humans!

yes, at one time we shared the earth with 2 others types of humans. But we were alone for 30,000 to 40,000 years.

Here is a study that mentions three branches from the Denisovan Ancestries
