There's only one way the foreign DNA could have made it into modern human populations. "We're talking about sex," said Joshua Akey of the University of Washington, whose lab identified the foreign DNA in three groups of modern Africans. The human family tree just got another mysterious branch, an African "sister species" to the heavy-browed Neanderthals that once roamed Europe. While no fossilized bones have been found from these enigmatic people, they did leave a calling card in present-day Africans: snippets of foreign DNA. There's only one way that genetic material could have made it into modern human populations. "Geneticists like euphemisms, but we're talking about sex," said Joshua Akey of the University of Washington, whose lab identified the foreign DNA in three groups of modern Africans. These genetic leftovers do not resemble DNA from any modern humans. The foreign DNA also does not resemble Neanderthal DNA, which shows up in the DNA of some modern Europeans, Akey said. That means the newly identified DNA came from an unknown group....

Perhaps it is a type of simian DNA
Perhaps it is a type of simian DNA
GENESIS 6:2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
And while modern humans and the newly found “archaic” Africans might be classified as distinct species, they managed to produce viable offspring. Likewise, donkeys and horses, lions and tigers, and whales and dolphins can mate and make babies.
“They had to be similar enough in appearance to anatomically modern humans that reproduction would happen,” said Akey. But with no fossils in hand, it’s impossible to say what these people looked like.
One thing is clear: This enigmatic group left its DNA all across Africa.
Interesting.
science follows a fine line between data and hypothesis/fact and fantasy , it stumbles around in fantasy world most of the time under the influence of government grants
You would be correct, if it was not in the Holy Bible, but it is and the Bible does not lie...
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown...
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
Genesis 6:4
Goliath.
one of THOSE topics

Interesting. Found this, too:
Genesis 6:4
English Standard Version (ESV)
4 The Nephilim[a] were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Footnotes:
a. Genesis 6:4 Or giants
..or in this case ANGELS. Either way, the proof is just as sound.
The Book of Enoch really goes into alot of this....
The *Watchers* became enamored with the Daughters of Men...
The Offspring of Human Flesh and Sons of GOD are what we know today as *Demons*
I thought all the angel infected people died in the Flood.
Much more likely that they were a cousin species of humans - like Neanderthal.
I doubt very much than any of this DNA would be of the sort that would make a man a “giant” or “of much renown”; doubtful that it would have any effect on phenotype at all.
