Suggestion - Resolved Science threads

[DrLeftover]

I didn't see a section where something like this would actually fit.

I thought it was interesting enough to post, but I didn't know where it should go.

Mystery ancient human ancestor found in Australasian family tree
... ....
But when Jaume Bertranpetit at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain and his colleagues analysed the genomes of living Indigenous Australians, Papuans, people from the Andaman Islands near India, and from mainland India, they found sections of DNA that did not match any previously identified hominin species.

These DNA sequences are not present in the genomes of living Europeans or east Asians, suggesting that the ancestors of these people met and bred with a mystery hominin in south Asia or the Pacific region, who left their genetic legacy in the area’s present-day populations.

A place to post science related content would be a good thing for those who enjoy posting and discussing such matters. It's just a thought.
