    Default African DNA study detects mysterious human species

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists examining the genomes of West Africans have detected signs that a mysterious extinct human species interbred with our own species tens of thousands of years ago in Africa, the latest evidence of humankind’s complicated genetic ancestry.

    The study indicated that present-day West Africans trace a substantial proportion, some 2% to 19%, of their genetic ancestry to an extinct human species - what the researchers called a “ghost population.”

    There were already threads concerning it.

    But I am curious why those estimates about the % of that admixture are so wildly divergent?

    Good question.

    19% is nuts, it would mean Africans are barely human.

    Other species of hominids (homo genus) are human too though. Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo Erectus were all humans.

    You mean barely Homo sapiens . But yeah, that might explain a lot about the looks of Africans being rather different from Eurasians. Very distinct.

    I believe they have homo naledi or erectus admixture. I have seen some pictures of Neanderthals, and they actually look very, very Northern European. I don't want to sound like a cunt, but SSAs and homo naledi share quite a bit phenotypically.

    20% Non-homo sapiens? Interesting.

    Maybe this could explain why they look so different from caucasoids, even mongs looks closer than them.
