Apparently some peoples in Asia have a bunch of DNA from Denisovans — another hominid people coexisted and interbred with.
Oh, that isn’t the half of it. Some Nepalese have retained a Denisovan gene that causes their hemoglobin to function differently. This allows women to survive childbirth at extremely high altitudes. (Non-Nepalese women, basically, cannot survive childbirth at high altitude.)
They are, for all intents and purposes, super-human.
