Those of you who read the anthropology news know that somebody, somewhere, has a blockbuster romance series coming.
Comparing genomes, scientists concluded that today’s humans outside Africa carry an average of 2.5 percent Neanderthal DNA, and that people from parts of Oceania also carry about 5 percent Denisovan DNA. A study published in November found that Southeast Asians carry about 1 percent Denisovan DNA in addition to their Neanderthal genes. It is unclear whether Denisovans and Neanderthals also interbred. (According to Archeology Briefs)
We all know what that means: Interspecies romance! Angst! Family conflict! Deeply hidden supernatural genes!
So, what'd'you think? Harlequin Pleistocene? It's a niche market, but it could be pure gold!
