Tree of relationships of Pleistocene human ancestors including Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes. Recent human relationships based on Ragsdale and coworkers (2013). The Thorin genome (grouped together with the Forbes' Quarry skull) adds to the diversity of later Neanderthals. The diversity among these groups was still less than within modern African populations or among Denisovan populations.
John Hawks analyzes the implications of the new "Thorin" genome from Gortte Mandrin and provides charts above in the process of putting the new ancient genome in context.
