Watch Homo sapiens share the planet with Neanderthals who had bigger brains and made cave art 64,000 years ago, Denisovans discovered from a single finger bone in 2008, Homo floresiensis standing just 3.5 feet tall on an Indonesian island, and Homo naledi buried in caves so tight only "underground astronauts" could reach them. Plus, meet Denny a first-generation Neanderthal-Denisovan hybrid found in the fossil record. Ancient human history is wilder than you think.
