of course we interbred. Men will screw anything. I want to share something with you, we as human men have interbred with every single animal, plant and object, imaginary object, and stuff you dont even want to know about.Lesson; stay out of your teenage sons room.

They have barely found more than bone fragments.. We are not even sure what they looked like, according to National Geographic Magazine. Fascinating subject though, I never learned about these guys during High School World History.

Looks like Columbians have a lot of Denisovan too. This map shows relative frquency around the world. Highest is Papua New Gunea.
