Humanity has at least two mysterious ancestors - n-tv.de

A recent study has revealed that human DNA contains traces indicating that our species has at least two mysterious ancestral lineages. This discovery suggests that early humans interbred with other hominin groups, which were previously unknown or poorly understood. The findings challenge existing theories about human evolution and highlight the complexity of our genetic heritage. Researchers analyzed ancient DNA samples and identified genetic markers that point to these additional ancestors, providing new insights into the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens.
