A finger found in a Siberian cave, is from a previously unknown type of ancient human say Scientists. The extinct "hominin" (human like creature) lived in Central Asia between 48,000 and 30,000 years ago.

An international team has sequenced genetic material from the fossil showing that it is distinct from that of Neanderthals and modern humans.

Details of the find, dubbed "X-woman", have been published in Nature journal.

Scientists have as yet been unable to grow a similar yet inferior replica of the creature from the finger, as seen in "Carry on Screaming", starring Oddbod junior (Pictured).

Horizontal rule ----
Text box ^Box content^
Centered text ::text::
Dynamic variables %Name% Inserts an editable variable
External links use square brackets for an external link: [URL], [URL\|link_description],[URL\|link_description\|relation] or [URL\|description\|relation\|nocache] (that last prevents the local Wiki from caching the linked page; relation can be used to insert rel attribute for the link - useful e.g. for shadowbox). For an external Wiki, use ExternalWikiName:PageName or ((External Wiki Name: Page Name))
Square Brackets Use [[foo] to show [foo].
Wiki References JoinCapitalizedWords or use ((page)) or ((page\|description)) for wiki references , ((page\|#anchor)) or ((page\|#anchor\|desc)) for wiki heading/anchor references , ))SomeName(( prevents referencing
Lists * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, ;Word:definition for definiton lists
Indentation +, ++ Creates an indentation for each plus (useful in list to continue at the same level)
Tables \|\|row1-col1\|row1-col2\|row1-col3\|\|row2-col1\|row2-col2\|row2-col3\|\|
Title bar -=Title=-
Monospace font -+Code sample+-
Line break %%% (very useful especially in tables)
Multi-page pages Use ...page... to separate pages
Non parsed sections ~np~ data ~/np~ Prevents wiki parsing of the enclosed data.
Preformated sections ~pp~ data ~/pp~ Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections (as with np), and the spacing is fixed (no word wrapping is done). ~pre~ data ~/pre~ also displayes preformatted text with fixed spacing, but wiki processing still occurs on the text.
Comments ~tc~ Tiki Comment ~/tc~ makes a Tiki comment. It will be completely removed from the display, but saved in the file for future reference. ~hc~ HTML Comment ~/hc~ makes an HTML comment. It will be inserted as a comment in the output HTML; these are not normally displayed in browsers, but can be seen using "View Source" or similar.
Block Preformatting Indent text with any number of spaces to turn it into a monospaced block that still follows other Wiki formatting instructions. It will be indended with the same number of spaces that you used. Note that this mode does not preserve exact spacing and line breaks; use ~pp~...~/pp~ for that.
Direction {r2l}, {l2r}, {rm}, {lm}Insert resp. right-to-left and left-to-right text direction DIV (up to end of text) and markers for langages as arabic or hebrew.
Special characters ~hs~ hard space, ~c~ ©, ~amp~ &, ~lt~ <, ~gt~ >, ~ldq~ “, ~rdq~ ”, ~lsq~ ‘, ~rsq~ ’, ~--~ —, ~bs~ \, numeric between ~ for html numeric characters entity

Because the Wiki paragraph formatting feature is on, all groups of non-blank lines are collected into paragraphs. Lines can be of any length, and will be wrapped together with the next line. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
