Admixture: Breeding like rabbits with whomever.
Phys.org! Same website that reported last month that DNA dating of origins showed that 90% of all current species just “showed up” in the last 100 to 200 thousand years ago, including humans.

This seems to be the gist of the article:
This ecological ability may have been aided by extensive cooperation between non-kin individuals among Pleistocene Homo sapiens, argues Dr. Brian Stewart, co-author of the study. “Non-kin food sharing, long-distance exchange, and ritual relationships would have allowed populations to ‘reflexively’ adapt to local climatic and environmental fluctuations, and outcompete and replace other hominin species.” In essence, accumulating, drawing from, and passing down a large pool of cumulative cultural knowledge, in material or idea form, may have been crucial in the creation and maintenance of the generalist-specialist niche by our species in the Pleistocene.

phys.org seems to pick papers that are controversial and before they are peer-reviewed.
I looked at not only that article but some others with equally odd conclusions (and the conclusions are guesses even by the authors themselves).
There is some deeper science here dealing with DNA and biology that really require a biologist to follow but I am going to spend some time trying to unpack it.
I also will await the peer reviews before reacting.
Thank you Captains Obvious. The authors of the article, not the poster :-).
