Ancient humans had sex with a mysterious species, scientists discover

HUMANITY has a filthy secret: our ancestors used to have sex with members of other species. That’s the finding in a new piece of research which suggests ancient people used to romp with a “ghost” species of proto human.

We are just one of a number of species known as hominins. Members of this family include Neanderthals and Denisovans, which are no longer found on Earth. “It seems that interbreeding between different early hominin species is not the exception — it’s the norm,” said Omer Gokcumen, assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Buffalo.

Gokcumen tested the DNA of humans living in Sub-Saharan Africa and found genes which were “wildly different from versions found in other modern humans”. These genes probably trace back to prehistoric rumpy pumpy which probably took place about 150,000 years ago between our ancestors and a mysterious species.

“Based on our analysis, the most plausible explanation for this extreme variation is archaic introgression — the introduction of genetic material from a ‘ghost’ species of ancient hominins,” Gokcumen added. “This unknown human relative could be a species that has been discovered, such as a subspecies of Homo erectus, or an undiscovered hominin. “We call it a ‘ghost’ species because we don’t have the fossils.” People living today would be a lot more like Neanderthals had it not been for a quirk of evolutionary fate.

I’ve got a little secret for you, pal, some humans today have filthy sex and has been endorsed by our government”.

I wonder at what point one or the other ran out of males or females and then had to go after each other? Some of those genes are still with us though.

I have continued the traditions of the ancients.

My ex-girls friends are surely alien and more than a little mysterious (but at least, by God, they are girls).

So Man’s desire for sex with hot alien women is just a family tradition.

I am amazed at the so-called Biblical experts that gloss over the real meat of Genesis.

Somebody's bread. Obviously, I'm confused.

I just know the Neanderthals really dug hot human chicks.

Discovery? It’s been know for many years that Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens inbred.

It was a poorly written article, but the news is that sub-Saharan Africans, who did not interbreed with Neaderthals, were doing it with other "proto-humans", that is ape-men, about 140,000 years ago. That was not known.

People in the Java region also interbred with Homo Floresiensis

So, to some extent the major races on the earth today are flavored by which non Homo Sapiens that their ancestors interbred with.

Red hair is supposedly a genetic gift of the Neaderthals to modern man.
