Denisovan and Neanderthal hybrid

Not to be overly nitpicky, but we had long discussions and pertinent articles about race and genetics here just a few months ago, so it would be good if we all tried to use the term correctly. Race is a social construct, not an identification based on genetic or biological realities. What we are talking about here are “people groups” or “ethnic groups.” Those are the right terms for human populations united by common culture, language and kinship bonds. And there would have been multiple people groups within each geographic area.
