AGGGGGH, wrong! Homo ? are COUSINS of all of us! Agreed we are not
descendants of them, nor is anyone else, but you do have your 1st
cousins in your database, RIGHT? Now to get to any other Homo species
besides Sapiens is not ever going to be easy and of course since there
are no descendants there are probably no naming conventions or
whatever else to actually be able to enter them into any kind of
database, other than by Scientists.
