This Is Pretty Doggone Cool if You Ask Me

In a cave in the Altay Mountains of Siberia, Russia near the borders of Kazakhstan and Mongolia lived a hermit named Dionisij in the 18th century. The cave was named after the hermit, Denisova Cave.

Denisova Cave is not hard to spot

if you happen to be in the village of Chorny Anui in the Altai Krai federal subject of Russia but since there are no pictures on The Google of the village of Chorny Anui, only this road

which appears the less traveled road leading to or from or somewhere near Chorny Anui Russian anthropologists did not make it to Denisova Cave until the 1970's when they went looking for dog bones. For some reason. They found human remains instead. Which, I'm sorry, I would have expected to find human remains in so inviting and large mouthed a cave, which I would have half expected to
have a Chorny Anui Hilton sign over it's entrance...Looks like they could have had valet parking too.

The discovery of human remains has led to constant human presence since; these are denominated "turists."

They need to replace that with an escalator.

These are pros, not smelly Ohioan tourists.

Denis the Hermit, were he alive would have to search for a new cave as his namesake is crawling with humanity.

And just this week, in Nature mag, the pros report that Denisova Cave actually was inhabited 

continuously for 300,000 years by a now extinct branch of humanity :o. Is that not cool? Named the Denisovans duh. Who left the cave at some point, intermarried with Neanderthals, and migrated to parts unknown to them but which we call shit hole countries, Papua New Guinea and Jamaica, where one of the last known ancestors of the extinct orange hued Denisovans

was born and has been found to occupy a minor position in charge of another Russian subject district.

And I for one think that is pretty darn cool.
