But we are not talking about an abandoned Homo Sapiens child being raised by wolves. As a species? Of course as you go back in time the more feral we become. Which is why I think Bigfoot is an earlier branch of hominid. But this isn’t by choice or a cruel twist of fate.

My sneaking suspicion is that if they could have they would have. As modern humans have both Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in us.

A break away group of Denisovans dropped their stone tools, left their warm hearths and just walked into the wilderness. The elders of the group have made a pact to become feral. How would they make it stick?......... You're reversing evolution. If these creatures exist, they never used tools. Ever. Quote ..........Great great grandson is out picking berries and watches a group of Neanderthals or other Denisovans kill an Elk using spears. How does the light bulb not go on? There are a lot of people out there who do things that you may never even want to do. You might even dislike the way they do things. Why doesn't your light switch on? Because you don't want it to.

We're talking about an incredibly rare species of human. Not individual, but certainly not a society. And its appears they like it that way. Quote .........As a species?

I don't think it's an earlier branch of hominid. I think it's the evolved species of a branch of hominin. 9 minutes ago, norseman said: ..........As modern humans have both Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in us. Not all of us. Some of us do.

Then you agree they are not Denisovans? Again you’re talking about individuals. We are talking through satellites in space. So I am assuming you’re not feral either. And so is 99.9 % of humanity. My light switch flipped on other wise I would be trying to talk to you by smoke signals.

You have already said that Sasquatch and its ancestors never used tools. So Denisovans are off the table. And I would be more than happy to hear your theory on what Hominin you are talking about. Most of us do. Only sub Saharan Africans are not hybridized with either Neanderthals or Denisovans.
