Neanderthals: More knowable now than ever
They have held our fascination ever since we first identified their remains. Today, thanks to new artifacts and technologies, findings about our closest relatives are coming thick and fast.

DENISOVANS - incredible discovery.
Denisovans, along with Nenderthals and modern humans have two copies of the human version of the NF1 gene - the gene which set off the search for knowledge systems in evolution and archaeology as told in "The Knowledge Gene".
Exciting!

We now know what Denisovans looked like, thanks to DNA analysis that proved Homo longi (the Harbin cranium) is indeed Denisovan! 🧪🏺
1st-ever Denisovan skull identified thanks to DNA analysis
Scientists have determined that a giant skull from an ancient human relative named the "Dragon Man" is actually Denisovan.

APHANTASIA - the lack of visual imagery - the history and science. The brain doesn't link memory to the visual cortex.
The excellent video explains that we aphantasics lack the ability to relive trauma. And how evolution favours diversity.
