4000 years ago isn’t very far back—more recent than the Great Pyramids, probably more recent than Stonehenge, far younger than the cave paintings in Spain and France as well as some in Indonesia.

Interesting the guy in that painting has a pompadour and the arms are waaay too long..

a mysterious extinct human species interbred with our own species Isn't the basic definition of a "species" that if they can breed and have fertile offspring they are the same species? So are they truly another species?

The are talking about 650,000 years ago and they show a picture of something from less then 6000 years ago.
Completely irrelevant is right!

The study indicated that present-day West Africans trace a substantial proportion, some 2% to 19%, of their genetic ancestry to an extinct human species How do they know the species is extinct? Has anyone checked Dennis Rodman's DNA?
