The Best Fit For Genomes

There was something even more impressive than Roger’s team discovered – probably the best fit for the genomes, and it was quite astonishing for most of them. They have found that the conventional predecessors of both the Neanderthals and Denisovans had somehow mixed with another old group of people from two million years ago. The ghost population whose DNA was was seen in genomes of what they called “Neandersovan” – coined term might have been the Homo erectus. If this was the case, the intermixing of species more likely happened outside Africa.

Responsible For Interbreeding

Rogers said that he knew who was responsible for the interbreeding that he and his whole team discovered. He said he thinks that there were once, the super-archaics, or people who would have been the first wave of ancient humans to enter Eurasia, around two million years ago. They might have expanded widely and left Africa and stayed in Eurasia, which was isolated from Africans. Not until 700,000 years ago when the Neandersovans met and interbred with a group of ancient humans already there and later on replaced them.
