Ancient Humans Bred with Completely Unknown Species
A new study presented to the Royal Society meeting on ancient DNA in London last week has revealed a dramatic finding – the genome of one of our ancient ancestors, the Denisovans, contains a segment of DNA that seems to have come from another species that is currently unknown to science. The discovery suggests that there was rampant interbreeding between ancient human species in Europe and Asia more than 30,000 years ago. But, far more significant was the finding that they also mated with a mystery species from Asia – one that is neither human nor Neanderthal. 
Scientists launched into a flurry of discussion and debate upon hearing the study results and immediately began speculating about what this unknown species could be.  Some have suggested that a group may have branched off to Asia from the Homo heidelbernensis, who resided in Africa about half a million years ago. They are believed to be the ancestors of Europe's Neanderthals. 
However others, such as Chris Stringer, a paleoanthropologist at the London Natural History Museum, admitted that they “don’t have the faintest idea” what the mystery species could be.
Traces of the unknown new genome were detected in two teeth and a finger bone of a Denisovan, which was discovered in a Siberian cave. There is not much data available about the appearance of Denisovans due to lack of their fossils' availability, but the geneticists and researchers succeeded in arranging their entire genome very precisely.
"What it begins to suggest is that we're looking at a 'Lord of the Rings'-type world - that there were many hominid populations," Mark Thomas, an evolutionary geneticist at University College London.
The question is now: who were these mystery people that the Denisovans were breeding with?

From the look of this map of important Homo heidelbergensis sites, and according to my studies, it seems that the “species” they are talking about is the line of Ham or more specifically, Cush.



Remember i mentioned that the kingdom of Cush extended from Egypt to Ethiopia (Sudan), across the Arabian peninsula through India and up? i believe it also extended to China as well and to one of the ancient “Atlantis” sites near Krakatoa which disappeared around the time of Pangaea.

It’s interesting that their find was in Siberia though because i just tracked a line of people to there who claim to be descendants of Nimrod. That’s a whole other story which hopefully i’ll be able to pull together soon but for now let’s just say: they’re white, have a wealthy branch, and are presently living in Europe.

Denisovans are a close relative of Neanderthals but distinct enough to be different. They lived from Siberia to Southeast Asia and samples have been found in Spain as well. Current people with traces of Denisovan are the Melanesians of New Guinea, Aborigines of Australia, and Tibetans.

There seems to be something different about Denisovan mtDNA:

“[Their comparisons] suggest the divergence of the Denisova mtDNA results either from the persistence of a lineage purged from the other branches of humanity through genetic drift or else an introgression from an older hominin lineage.”
