X-woman or Woman X (Denisova hominin in scientific terms) is the name given to what is reported to be a new type of human that lived among modern humans and Neanderthals. The discovery came about as the result of genetic testing from a pinky finger bone uncovered in a Siberian cave. You can read more about this freaky science find through this BBC News story.
