Interbreeding Among Early Human Ancestors
As Homo sapiens embarked on their migration out of Africa nearly 100,000 years ago, they encountered a fascinating array of ancient beings, including the mysterious Neanderthals, dwelling in and around the Middle East.
But their encounters didn’t end there. Evidence suggests that our ancestors also mingled with other fascinating species like Homo erectus and the mysterious Denisovans, perhaps even more. The result? A genetic tapestry woven with threads of inter-species love and mingling, shaping the very essence of humanity’s genetic diversity.
