Did we find yet another human lineage?

 A skull found in China resembles a combination of Homo erectus, modern man and Denisovans. We think it might be another branch of our family tree.

The skull was that of a teenaged child, and it complicates the path. In fact, the mosaic supports the existence of moderns, Denisovans, and a third lineage at the same time, likely mating with each other.

I'm starting to think that our ancestors really didn't care if they were another species as long as they were hot...
