Recent discoveries have brought new light on this hominid species that lived alongside early humans but went extinct tens of thousands of years ago. DNA analysis shows that they interbred with humans, while excavations of their grave sites shows that they had some concept of an afterlife and were capable of abstract thought. This new discovery suggests that remnants of this species may have lingered in the Ural Mountains of Russia as recently as 33,000 years ago.
