"You might instead like to celebrate Santa as a Viking god with blue or brown robes who rides an eight-legged horse and doles out vigilante justice, which is both more authentic and infinitely more metal.

Nah, the most metal version of Santa has to be the Hogfather (https://wiki.lspace.org/Hogfather), from the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name.

The Complicated Sex Lives of Ancient Humans is much more complicated than proving we have DNA from Humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo Erectus.
We will never know if the female receiving other DNA was a rebellious teenager, a captive, an eloper, raped, loaned to a visiting chief, or lived in the Clan of the Cave Bear.
It could be a whole new lucrative porn category like 50 Shades of Grey.

Ancient humans having extremely complicated sex lives just means everyone was cheating.
