New Human Species Discovered in Siberian Caves

It's not everyday that researchers can claim that they've unearthed evidence of a completely new kind of human being, but that's exactly what Archaeologists and Russia say that they've come across. But how could a tooth and a finger discover from a species called the Deniz events who are once widespread across Asia? Revolutionaries are understanding of early man. The BBC Science Correspondent Palagosh tries to explain. Ten's of thousands of years ago, our species lived alongside a different type of human, the antidote man. Now scientists have discovered that we also shared the planet with another distinct human creature, the Deniz events. We know this from DNA analysis of this piece of bone and tooth. They were found in these caves in southern Siberia. It's a discovery that's a standard of the experts. If the teen publishing this have got it right, it's nothing short of sensational, because what they've discovered is a completely new lineage of DNA that is not the endotel, that is not modern human, that was probably widespread in Asia, and actually links in to one particular group of living humans. And all non-Africans have some the endotel DNA. It's these startling findings published in the journal Nature, that are changing our view of human evolution. It's beginning to emerge that several types of humans coexisted, but why do these others die out? We simply don't know, but for a while, there were many others who walked the earth with us.
