Actually, Neanderthals and Sapiens intermixed, as did Sapiens and Denisovans. The reality is that all modern humans are hybrids and contain admixture with at least 2 different members of Genus Homo. All Eurasians have Neanderthal-Sapien admixture, this would include Europeans, Asians and peoples in West-Asia (middle east) and into North Africa. Asians have admixture with not only Sapien-Neanderthal, but also Denisovan. Now if this 100,000 year old Denisovan was a fossil based in the Levant, this would suggest that people there also have Denisovan admixture. Every DNA study I have read till this point indicates only Asians have Denisovan
Peoples of sub-saharan Africa do not have Neanderthal or Denisovan admixture, but do have admixture from some other members of Genus homo. THus they to are hybrids, with Sapien and maybe Homo Rhodesiensis admixture.
So before DNA sequencing, the thought was that the Sapiens killed off the Neanderthals, etc. Now we know that was not the case, they just got absorbed, as did the Denisovans. Modern humans contain admixture, all of us are Homo Sapiens with admixture with other genus homo members, it is just some have admixture with Neanderthals, some don’t some have admixture with Neanderthals and Denisovans, some don’t etc. Some have admixture with a non H. Sapien African species (peoples south of the sahara) some don’t.
