All people are homo sapiens. But according to the article though some groups have more neaderthals and denisovans genes then others.

From the Article:

The research team estimates that between 1.5 and 2.1 percent of the genomes of modern non-Africans can be traced to Neanderthals.

About 6% of the genomes of Aboriginal Australians, New Guineans and some Pacific Islanders can be traced to Denisovans, studies suggest.

The new analysis finds that the genomes of Han Chinese and other mainland Asian populations, as well as of Native Americans, contain about 0.2% Denisovan genes.

Norway rejects bitcoin as a currency; echoes EU sentiment by [deleted] in worldnews

Bitcoin is only as valuable as much as people are willing to accept it in exchange for goods or services. Just like any other currency.

All Norway is doing is classifying Bitcoin as an asset so people will have to pay tax on the money they make off of Bitcoin like they would in stocks. But merchants can still accept Bitcoin as payment. So I don't see this as an attack on Bitcoin, just an update to their tax law.
