Scientists have discovered compelling evidence that ancient humans weren’t as separate as we thought – they mixed and traded! By studying DNA from fossils, researchers found that our ancestors, Homo sapiens, had offspring with Neanderthals and another group called Denisovans. This mixing left genetic traces that still exist in modern humans, such as certain immune system traits. Some people even carry DNA linked to Denisovans that helps them adapt to high altitudes. It’s like a prehistoric family reunion, showing just how interconnected ancient human groups were. These discoveries are rewriting the history of human evolution, proving that it wasn’t a straight line, but rather a web of relationships.
