[It all boils down to that pubescent male from Uganda, Ethiopia, the Congo, Liberia etc alone in the jungle, except for the monkeys,......the female monkeys.
When you embed sonotubes in the ground, round cardboard forms which you fill with concrete to act as underpinnings, or foundations, for outdoor structures and come back later, say a month or more, with the concrete, you learn to expect to find them filled with garbage, even if you leave empty garbage pails on site expressly for that purpose. Males, for some strange reason, instinctively want to fill every hole they come across.
How do you think the ebola virus makes the occasional jump from the simian to the human population?]
"The human family tree just got another mysterious branch, an African "sister species" to the heavy-browed Neanderthals that once roamed Europe.
While no fossilized bones have been found from these enigmatic people, they did leave a calling card in present-day Africans: snippets of foreign DNA.
There's only one way that genetic material could have made it into modern human populations.
"Geneticists like euphemisms, but we're talking about sex," said Joshua Akey of the University of Washington, whose lab identified the foreign DNA in three groups of modern Africans.
These genetic leftovers do not resemble DNA from any modern humans. The foreign DNA also does not resemble Neanderthal DNA, which shows up in the DNA of some modern Europeans, Akey said. That means the newly identified DNA came from an unknown group.
"We're calling this a Neanderthal sibling species in Africa," Akey said. He added that the interbreeding likely occurred 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, long after some modern humans had walked out of Africa to colonize Asia and Europe, and about the same time Neanderthals were waning in Europe.
Akey said that present-day Europeans show no evidence of the foreign DNA, meaning the mystery people were likely confined to Africa."
