- Genetic analysis shows evidence of gene flow between humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans and a "super archaic" ancestor. It suggests inter-species mixing was common and have left traces on the human genome. 15 percent of genetic regions from the super archaic ancestors are present in modern-day humans. https://www.inverse.com/science/super-archaic-ancestor-modern-genetics-study 12 comments science
