This is a great article from the NY Times about a potential new human species. It seems our world was filled with a variety of interesting humanoid branches back 30,000 or 40,000 years ago. Wonder why all those other branches got cut off? Us, maybe? Judging by the red faced shouting Morlocks in Washington over the weekend, we’re certainly angry enough and violent enough.
It does make you think about epic tales where there were other species — elves, dwarves, etc. Were these vague and distant memories of when we did share the planet with other species of human-like creatures?
