So when will 23andMe manage to get some H. heidelbergensis or H. erectus DNA so they can inform their clientele whether they have any heidelbergensis or erectus DNA? They do that now with Neanderthal DNA but the Neanderthals died out relatively recently.
I believe all homo homo sapiens sapiens (i.e. US) have H.erectus DNA. They were the ancestors of h sapiens. Not sure about h.heidelbergensis
