THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SPECIES:
SCIENTISTS SAY WE BRED WITH AN EXTINCT HUMAN SPECIES AND IT LEFT A GRIM CHANGE IN OUR BRAINS (FRANK LANDYMORE, 11/043/23, Futurism)
Genes inherited from our ancestors crossbreeding with an extinct species of humans may have left a significant and lasting impact on our mental health, according to researchers.A new study, published in the journal PLoS Genetics, concludes that these genes are one of the most widespread traces of our ancient ties with the Denisovans, who are believed to have mated with modern humans leaving Africa around 60,000 years ago.
They aren't extinct: we are them.
