Every single time an article is released on this topic, the entire narrative is turned upside down. This is the stuff you keep reading about homo erectus being replaced by robust and gracile forms of homo sapien in eastern Africa. Or those articles about how neandertals were already in europe when humans arrived thus wiping them out via warfare. (err, scratch that. Replace "wiped them out" with "comingled with them and had offspring together". Pardon me!)
And while we are at it, here is a Denisovan hominid, which doesn't even fit the picture we had drawn up previously , so they must have been a minor species in Asia. (no wait.... scratch that... they lived all over Asia for a long time. Silly me!)
And then there are short hominids in a cave in Indonesia, which don't match any of our previous species categories. Gee I wonder how they got there. Oh I know! They must have comingled and had offspring with a Denisovan. (...right?)
