Na Caverna Takarkori, arqueólogos encontraram duas múmias femininas com mais de 7.000 anos, em um estado de preservação impressionante. Mas o impressionante foi o DNA delas
Esse DNA não corresponde a nenhuma espécie humana conhecida pode ter se separado dos humanos modernos há cerca de 60.000 anos.
