It's amazing that a scientist like him has such a comprehensive blog.<br /><br />He argues that the new evidence is suspect. The argument is over my head, but I do understand at least the idea. When comparing the entire genome, Jackobsson and Skoglund confirmed earlier results, that there's no Denisovan DNA in China. It's only when using some unusual alleles, which Hawks admits is "especially likely to be informative."<br /><br />Still he wonders whether even on those alleles, their results are substantial enough to be conclusive.<br /><br />I thought it's an article you might like to see, not by some guy, but by a scientist researching the Denisovan genome. It's a gift to the rest of us that he blogs like he does.<br /><br />http://johnhawks.net/weblog/reviews/denisova/skoglund-jakobsson-2011-south-china.htmlPaul Pavaohttp://www.proof-of-evolution.com/denisovans.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
