Neanderthals could be brought back within 20 years — but is it a good idea ? [ Nope ]
...with today's technology, we cannot bring back Neanderthals. But even if future advances allow it, should we !? [ They will want Europe and Caucasia as homelands ]
Scientists Could Bring Back Neanderthals Within 20 Years — But At What Cost ?
Neanderthals could walk among us within 20 years — but would reviving our extinct cousin rewrite science or unleash an ethical nightmare ? [ Yes ]
In new PBS series 'Human,' anthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi explores how humans came to dominate Earth
Charts humanity's evolutionary odyssey. We sat down with her to discuss the path of our species out of Africa to global hegemony.
When Homo sapiens first emerged in Africa some 300,000 years ago, we did not roam the planet alone...
■ ] Our species lived alongside at least six, and possibly more:
other human species, from Homo erectus, the first hominin species to venture out of Africa; to Neanderthals and Denisovans, contenders for our closest relatives; --- } all the way to Homo floresiensis — less than 4-foot-tall (1.2 meters) "'hobbits"' who lived on the Indonesian island of Flores. Let alone other species like : non-hominin hominids such as : The Meganthropus...etc.
It's an origin story that Ella Al-Shamahi, a British Arab paleoanthropologist, presenter and explorer, often likens to the Lord of the Rings. Yet, despite its intriguing details, it's also one she says we don't talk about enough...
New archaeological discoveries on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi suggest that early humans made a major sea crossing far earlier than previously believed.
Stone tools dating back over a million years reveal that ancient hominins were active in this region of Wallacea, a zone long considered a barrier to migration....
Ancient tools found on Sulawesi suggest early humans crossed formidable seas over a million years ago, leaving behind mysteries about their identity and evolution.
Researchers from Griffith University have uncovered evidence that ::
Early hominins ventured across open seas to reach the Indonesian island of Sulawesi far earlier than previously believed.
The discovery comes from stone tools at the Early Pleistocene (or ‘Ice Age’) site of Calio, dated to at least 1.04 million years ago.
The study, published in Nature, was led by Budianto Hakim of Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and Professor Adam Brumm of the Australian Research Centre for Human Evolution at Griffith University.
Hakim’s excavation team unearthed seven stone artifacts from sandstone layers exposed in a cornfield in southern Sulawesi. These tools provide direct evidence of early human activity in the region.

I truly Wonder how [ Many ] vastly divergent and differentiated human / hominin - hominid species are there ?(!) 0_0
We know neandarthals = mythological dwarves
Denisovians = taller elves ?
Meganthropus = ogres / giants ?
Homo erectus = orcs
...etc.
