Reveals the profound influence of the Denisovans and their hybrid
descendants upon the flowering of human civilization around the
world * Traces the migrations of the sophisticated Denisovans and
their interbreeding with Neanderthals and early human populations
more than 40,000 years ago * Shows how Denisovan hybrids became the
elite of ancient societies, including the Adena mound-building
culture * Explores the Denisovans' extraordinary advances,
including precision-machined stone tools and jewelry, tailored
clothing, and celestially-aligned architecture Ice-age cave
artists, the builders at Goebekli Tepe, and the mound-builders of
North America all share a common ancestry in the Solutreans,
Neanderthal-human hybrids of immense sophistication, who dominated
southwest Europe before reaching North America 20,000 years ago.
Yet, even before the Solutreans, the American continent was home to
a powerful population of enormous stature, giants remembered in
Native American legend as the Thunder People. New research shows
they were hybrid descendants of an extinct human group known as the
Denisovans, whose existence has now been confirmed from fossil
remains found in a cave in the Altai region of Siberia. Tracing the
migrations of the Denisovans and their interbreeding with
Neanderthals and early human populations in Asia, Europe,
Australia, and the Americas, Andrew Collins and Greg Little explore
how the new mental capabilities of the Denisovan-Neanderthal and
Denisovan-human hybrids greatly accelerated the flowering of human
civilization over 40,000 years ago. They show how the Denisovans
displayed sophisticated advances, including precision-machined
stone tools and jewelry, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned
architecture, and horse domestication. Examining evidence from
ancient America, the authors reveal how Denisovan hybrids became
the elite of the Adena mound-building culture, explaining the giant
skeletons found in Native American burial mounds. The authors also
explore how the Denisovans' descendants were the creators of a
cosmological death journey and viewed the Milky Way as the Path of
Souls. Revealing the impact of the Denisovans upon every part of
the world, the authors show that, without early man's hybridization
with Denisovans, Neanderthals, and other yet-to-be-discovered
hominid populations, the modern world as we know it would not
exist.
