Another population of hominins found in East Asia. It’s getting so complicated out there I can’t keep up. It definitely feels like our labels aren’t accurately representing the complexity of evolution. Are they all distinct groups? Or are they boinking each other?

It's exciting to have a new human species proposed, but can't help thinking that until we can stare Denisovan anatomy more fully in the face, with genes to match, all bets are off. Maybe we should just say new human population for now?
