Extraterrestrial DNA found in the oldest bones human ancestor
The 400,000-year-old bones contain evidence of unknown species,
which has led scientists to question everything they know about
human evolution (

In November 2013, scientists extracted one of the world's oldest
human DNA from a 400,000-year-old femur, containing evidence
of an unknown species on earth. The DNA of these hundreds of
thousands of years old human ancestors shows a complex pattern
of evolution in the origins of Neanderthals and modern humans.
The bone belongs to a human, but contains "Extraterrestrial DNA".
This remarkable discovery has led scientists to question everything
they know about human evolution.
The 400,000-year-old genetic material comes from bones that have
been linked to Neanderthals in Spain, but its signature is most
similar to that of another ancient human population from Siberia
known as the Denisovans.
More than 6,000 human fossils, representing some 28 individuals,
have been recovered from the site of Sima de los Huesos,
a hard-to-reach cave, at a depth of about 30 meters in northern
Spain. The fossils appeared unusually well-preserved, thanks
in part to the constant cool temperature and high humidity in the
pristine cave.
The skeleton from Sima de los Huesos Cave has been attributed to an
early human species known as Homo heidelbergensis. However,
researchers say the skeletal structure is similar to that
of Neanderthals - so much so that some say the inhabitants of Sima
de los Huesos were actually Neanderthals, not Homo heidelbergensis.
The researchers who conducted the analysis said their results show
an "unexpected connection" between our two extinct related species.
This discovery could unravel the mystery - not just for the first
humans who lived in the cave complex known as the Sima de los
Huesos (Spanish for "Pit of Bones"), but also for other enigmatic
populations during the Pleistocene era.
Previous analysis of the bones from the cave led researchers to
suggest that the Sima de los Huesos people were closely related
to Neanderthals based on their skeletal features. But the
mitochondrial DNA was much more like that of the Denisovans,
an early human population thought to have split from the Neanderthals
about 640,000 years ago.
A third type of people, called Denisovans, seems to have coexisted
in Asia with Neanderthals and early modern humans. The last two
are known from numerous fossils and artifacts. Denisovans have so
far only been identified by DNA from one bone and two teeth, but this
opens up a new twist in human history.
The scientists also found that 1 percent of the Denisovan genome came
from another enigmatic relative, which scientists have dubbed
"superarchaic man." In turn, it is estimated that some modern humans
may contain about 15 percent of these "superarchaic" gene regions.
Thus, this study shows that the Sima de los Huesos people were
closely related to Neanderthals, Denisovans, and an unknown
population of early humans.
One potential contender could be Homo erectus, an extinct human
ancestor that lived in Africa about 1 million years ago. The problem
is, we've never found H. erectus DNA, so the most we can do right now
is speculate.
On the other hand, some theorists have come up with some really
intriguing hypotheses. They argue that the so-called 97 percent
of the non-coding sequences in human DNA are nothing more than
the genetic code of extraterrestrial life forms.
According to them, in the distant past, human DNA was purposefully
designed by some highly developed extraterrestrial race; and the
unknown "superarchaic" ancestor of the Sima de los Huesos people
may be evidence of this artificial evolution.
An extraterrestrial connection or an unknown human species, whatever
it is, the results only further complicate the evolutionary history
of modern humans - perhaps even more populations could have been
involved.
The answers to our true history are hidden in our DNA throughout
our history, and it is there that we must look for the origins of the
human race.
