This is cool news. A new species of (now extinct) human was discovered and its genome was mapped. It was distinct from Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens and there was likely interbreeding between them and Homo Sapiens, (just as there was with Neanderthals). Apparently, the genes for the Denisovans show up in some of the people in the Pacific region. Our family history picture just got bigger.
