Socio Posted February 13, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2020 My money is on all three, the Neanderthals, Denisovans, and these Ghost people were driven to extinction for the same reason, and that would be retaliation for forced breeding with Homo Sapiens.

Big Jim Posted February 14, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I wonder if there has been any attempt to corelate the spread of alcohol use with the inclination to interbreed with sub-species. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you ignore the fossil record, the genetic record and the first two paragraphs of the article that might be a reasonable conclusion. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlh Posted February 14, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) So if there are mysterious gene flows both into and out of Africa, doesn't that mean the Out of Africa Theory is all wrong? Why not Out of Europe or Out of the Near East? Edited February 14, 2020 by dlh lost last part of my text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It just means that after Fully Modern Humans left Africa, they came back in successive waves and interbreed with the populations that remained behind. Our origins are 100% African.

+joc Posted February 15, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Here is another article on the subject ...and it has pictures! A new study published shows that human DNA may have more Neanderthal in it than was previously believed. It’s well-known that Neanderthals and modern humans, Homo sapiens, have links but new research suggests that they may be more comprehensive than scientists first thought, according to Smithsonian magazine. Both species have a common ancestor who originated in Africa, but both early humans and Neanderthals split off and began to take their own evolutionary path. Neanderthals were already well established in Asia and Europe when the first Homo sapiens came on the scene in Africa around 300,000 years ago. Once Homo sapiens emerged, we more or less stayed in Africa for a long time – until around 60.000 years ago, although there were small migrations here and there before early modern humans really started to get on the move. Scientists even think that some groups of early humans traveled back and forth between Africa and Eurasia several times, although the evidence to support that idea is relatively thin.
