Jamie called it

[R]esearchers kept sifting through thousands of bone fragments in the cave, many of them from animals, until they found one that seemed like it could be from some kind of human relative. It turned out to belong to a young female who lived 90,000 years ago, whom they call Denisova 11.

Now they have sequenced her genome, and as they announced in Nature on Wednesday, they found something quite surprising: She had a Neanderthal for a mother and a Denisovan for a father.

Recognition!

I believe my core argument boiled down to:

"Some modern people fuck sheep: it therefore is implausible that no one fucked a neanderthal."
