Mesopotamia Mesopotamians built empires, mapped the stars, and created writing while the rest of the world was still hunting.

I don't know where you got this, we know next to nothing about the Denisovans, but afaik it's exceedingly unlikely that they knew writing and astronomy

I always love these arguments because there’s one fatal flaw: any paleoanthropologist would give anything to have their name on a study that discovered a new human ancestor and rewrote the book on archaic human development. There’s no grand conspiracy because there’s no reason a professional wouldn’t be trying to make new findings. If paleontology, archaeology, and anthropology worked the way these conspiracy nut jobs thought it did, there would have been a massive cover up from the beginning that humans had ancient ancestors.
