“The Denisovans are an extinct species of human who lived around 41,000 years ago. We know them from one fingerbone of a juvenile female found in the Denisova cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia. Mitochondrial DNA has shown her to be genetically distinct from Neanderthals and modern humans. However, recent studies suggest that modern humans bred with both Denisovans and Neanderthals, on multiple occasions.”

Cutter’s students were keen to ask questions. Any mention of inter-breeding always got them excited.

What he didn’t tell them was he knew the Denisovans from more than just a fingerbone.

He’d met met them.

I'll bet he wishes he could tell them!

That's one of the most fascinating things about the anomalies - the ability to go through and actually see the reality of the fossils.

Yes, I can see real tensions between knowledge gleaned from the anomaly project and the desire to publish...

I'm sure I heard something on the radio about the interlinking groups and how they all mingled in and out. Fascinating!

It must have been hard for Nick not to tell everyone the truth.
