    Me and my sister are half Filipino, and we both had braces back in highschool. I remember our orthodontist commenting that we both had 5-point crowned molars, and that they had never seen that before.
    Then last year we went on a trip to my mom's home village - Tigayon Hill, Aklan, Philippines - and saw that they had a tiny "museum" featuring items from a recently (2014) excavated cave located there that was full of artifacts dating back to 500 B.C.- pottery, beads, and teeth that had 5 point molars

    Iceland and Australia are extremities. If there was a replacement event, in which our ancestors drove out Denisovans, it makes sense that in the extremities there would be more pre-event genotype preserved. Think how the Roman empire never conquered Scotland. Or how R1 Indo-Europeans never replaced neolithic farmers completely in the Western Europe, with Basques retaining their genome.

      “The Inuit DNA sequence in this region (Greenland) matches very well with the Denisovan genome, and it is highly differentiated from other present-day human sequences, though we can’t discard the possibility that the variant was introduced from another archaic group whose genomes we haven’t sampled yet”, said Fernando Racimo, 2016

    A fin job once again, keep up the good work. I didn't know you live in the Netherlands. It so happens that I'm dutch, but have been living in France for 38 years now. Actually I now live at some 60 km from Solutré, so if you haven't been there yet but are planning to go, let me know. The museum has recorders with info to go the rounds in several languages, even in dutch, which was great when we went there with my mother.

    Thank you for an excellent documentary. When I first heard the term "Drnisovans I thought it referred to another tacky, ratty-assed situation "comedy" on the TV. Once the term was described I nodded and placed it on my research to-do list. BTW - your American English is perfect. You must be either an American in the Netherlands or you are damn good at languages.

    That needle they found must mean they were making coverings for their bodies.

    I hope the researchers come up with more information on the Dragon Man. The skull does seem massive.
