Seems like a small sample size.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

One jaw bone, fossilized so they can't even get DNA, and they declare a whole new species?

Just seems premature, to me. Even with the Denisovans they found other bones and teeth.
