its not all that bad. The pig's name was Bloodwynn.

That's the one. I don't know if it's true, or if someone's been telling
porkies.

Interestingly there now appears to have been at least two separate

species -- including Homo floresiensis i.e. the Hobbits -- that in

to the Neanderthal in Europe primarily -- have left a genetic trail in
the
heritage of the peoples now living in Micronesia and amongst aboriginal
Australian populations. This is more clear in the case of the
Denisovan's
and Neanderthal and we can only speculate whether it also occurred
between
homo sapiens and homo floresiensis, but I somehow suspect it happened.
As we become more astute in reading DNA and understanding the larger
sequences that exist in them and their lineages I suspect we will be
finding
other interesting lineages mixed in to our code... and that we are a
hybridized species.
But then is this not the way of nature :)
Comparing genomes, scientists concluded that today's humans outside
Africa
carry an average of 2.5 percent Neanderthal DNA, and that people from
parts
of Oceania also carry about 5 percent Denisovan DNA. A study published
in
November found that Southeast Asians carry about 1 percent Denisovan
DNA in
addition to their Neanderthal genes. It is unclear whether Denisovans
and
Neanderthals also interbred. [Other studies seem to indicate that they
did]

There is some evidence of interbreeding between the H. sapiens that
migrated
from Africa, and the indigenous Neanderthal and Denisovan species.
IIRC, the
indigineous species contributed something like 10% of the genetic code
to
the humans from those areas - N to Europeans, and D to some island
populations off Asia.
So its not quite Out of Africa exlusively, more like mostly "Out of
Africa",
with a small dash of "Multiregionalism".
But its fascinating what we've learnt just in the last decade. When my
son
asked me (for a science assignment) to name a significant scientific
technology, I immediately said "PCR"!
Cheers
