and there are skeptics that don’t think it is a new species
Aren't these bones recent enough to make it possible to extract DNA - in which case I would have thought the "is it a different species" argument will be definitively settled sometime in the not too distant future. After all it worked with the Neanderthals didn't it ?
Actually this got me to wondering - just how different would the DNA have to be to categorically say it's a new species ? Any of our DNA experts out there care to share their views ?
Come to that, has anybody actually looked at the DNA of modern pygmies ?
So many questions, so small a brain...
Confused ? You will be...
