DNA ANTHROPOLOGY - HUMAN ANCESTORS INCLUDE NEWLY FOUND SPECIES

We intermingled with Neanderthals and Denisovans - but now we learn there was more mingling with yet another species...YAHOO NEWS - ANCIENT HUMANS INTERBRED WITH ARCHAIC POPULATION 7000,000 YEARS AGO

Can you believe that God created everything and evolution?  I do.  Perhaps God's plan was evolution.  I recall from an anthropology class I took in college that about 40,000 years ago there was enough of a human population for ethnicity to develop.

EXCERPT: Scientists already knew that modern humans interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans 40,000 to 60,000 years ago.  But a new study reveals that the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans also interbred with a mysterious population of ancient humans i Eurasia much earlier"  700,000 years ago.

INBREEDING OF EARLY HUMANS : FOSSIL SKULL EVIDENCE

LIVESCIENCE : Tanya Lewis article : Inbreeding Common in Early Humans, Deformed Skull Suggests  link here!

EXCERPT: "The evidence comes from fragments of an approximately 100,000-year-old human skull unearthed at a site called Xujiayao, located in the Nihewan Basin of northern China. The skull's owner appears to have had a now-rare congenital deformity that probably arose through inbreeding, researchers report today (March 18) in the journal PLOS ONE..."

GAME CHANGER : EVOLUTION : AUSTRALOPITHECUS BONES SHOW HUMAN HAND ON PRIMATE APE

Linking to this article by Randolph E Schmid that came out in several papers (this one from the Houston Chronical) last week about AUSTRALOPITHECUS. This article has some great pictures showing the tiny human hand.

"Kristian J. Carlson, also at Witwatersrand, said the brain of A. sediba is small, like that of a chimpanzee, but with a configuration more human, particularly with an expansion behind and above the eyes."

SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE MARCH 2010 HUMAN FAMILY EARILIEST ANCESTORS

Hominid fossils are rare indeed, but new finds and new scientific theories are suggesting that maybe that shared ancestry with the chimpanzee (96 % shared DNA) isn't about what chimps look like NOW! Fossil "Ardi" is suggesting by none evidence that she both walked upright and spent a lot of time hanging in trees... LINK NOW to the article, above!
