Possible New Human Species Discovered In China
BayaWeaver writes "These are exciting times in anthropology. Recent analysis of fossils first discovered in China in 1979 indicate that a human-like species may have co-existed with modern humans as late as 11,500 years ago. This presumably new species has been nicknamed Red Deer Cave people because of their apparent taste for the extinct giant red deer. Other species recently discovered include: the 'hobbits' on the Indonesian island of Flores which are also thought to have been around until 12,000 years ago and the Denisovans discovered in 2010 that co-existed with modern humans in Siberia about 30,000 years ago."
And I thought we got over scientific racism a long time ago...
...as recently as 10k years ago
4000 years before God created Earth? You can't fool me with your elitist education.
>> Homo Sapiens, ...Neanderthals, Floresians..., Denisovans
Also the Orange People of New Jersey.

Understanding the scope of the problem is the first step on the path to true panic.
Actually, he's allowed to fool you at least once. A wise man once said "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."
Then you need a better filesystem integrity checker.

but...but...but.. the world is only 6,000 years old and man was created in his current image by god! There must be some other explanation!
That's why they're a different species: made in someone else's image.
And survived right up 'til 5500 years before creation, too!
