An international team of researchers has found evidence of Denisovans interbreeding with modern humans in Southeast Asia more recently than thought. The group gave a presentation at this year's meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists outlining a genetic study they conducted.
The Denisovans were a species or subspecies of humans that are believed to have lived in Asia and Southeast Asia. Little physical evidence of their existence has ever been found, all of it in Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia. But much more evidence of them exists in our genes. Like Neanderthals, the Denisovans interbred with humans. It is currently believed that as humans migrated out of Africa, they encountered and mated with Neanderthal—as they moved farther east, they encountered and mated with the Denisovans. In this new effort, the researchers report evidence suggesting Denisovans mated with humans possibly as recently as 15,000 years ago, in Papua New Guinea.
The researchers collected tissue samples from 161 people (representing 14 groups) in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea and sequenced their DNA. They report that in the samples from people in New Guinea, they found evidence of Denisovan DNA from populations that were different from those living in the cave in Siberia. They describe them as D1 and D2 (the population in Siberia is described as D0). They report further that D1 and D2 were so distantly related to D0 that they had to have diverged at least 283,000 years ago. They also found that D2 was so distant that it likely split off approximately 363,000 years ago. The researchers suggest such distant divergence makes D1 and D2 as different from D0 as they were from Neanderthals. They also suggest that D2 might even have to be reclassified to give the group its own name. And finally, they reported that they had found evidence of Denisovans interbreeding with modern humans between 30,000 and 15,000 years ago.
Other rare species of human have been found in Oceania, such as the hobbits of the Flores Islands.

So basically lord of the rings is true. Whatever happened to those "dinosaur bones" that still had surviving tissue in it?

The links to amazon on crack'd come up as 404'd for me, but if you do an amazon search on the author Christie Sims it's a whole new wonderland out there. It's not just dinosaurs, she has protagonists fucking dragon, orcs, pterodactyls, nagas, ogres, demons, werewolves and gargoyles. If it could possibly have a dick, she has someone getting fucked by it.

In the early smartphone era there was a drinking game played with google search, "Is that a band name or an anime title?" and it was kinda fun and I could see a title like this going either way.

There will always be humans that will poke anything with a hole. Case in point our Canine companions and equivalent. The only difference here is our biology is different enough to not create an offspring.
If our future generations starts space faring and encounter Martians, you can bet yer ass they'll be some poking around with a long enough exposure.
