A Missing Link?

Earlier this month, National Geographic published a very interesting article on evidence of a possible new human ancestor. The evidence in form of a bone was found in the Denisova Cave, southern Siberia, by the Russian archaeologist, Alexander Tsybankov, in 2008. However, it wasn't until a few years later when it was discovered how significant the bone fragment actually was. The article is well written and I doubt I will be able to do it better myself, so please have a read through! This story really reminded me that it is because of moments like these I chose to do archaeology as a profession.
