Additionally the one term you might be unfamiliar with in the reel is the term sister species - the closest relative of ours whom we share a common ancestor with. Taxonomically that is just one species and we thought it was the Neanderthals - the Denisovans/Homo longi has complicated that so let’s just say both are until we understand more

For a long time we have been the most dominant form of life on Earth… so it’s easy to assume that this was always the case. Homo sapiens turns up and it was written in the stars- all those other human species we shared the planet with shrunk immediately into obscurity. It’s not the case.
