| Ghost lineage? |
Scientists believe they can "de-ghost" so-called ghost genes in the genomes of living animals and identify long lost species which left no fossils. For obvious reasons, ghost lineages of "superarchaic" humans are of special interest to the general public. But apparently, the same technique has also been used on frozen specimens of mammoths, yaks and lemmings. So if you are a superarchaic nerd with a longtime interest in lemming evolution, I suppose these are interesting times, LOL.
