Discovering the 'love path' where 5 species of humans mate in deformities

A road from Africa across the Eurasian continent has revealed evidence of anomalous love between our modern humans and at least four ancient extinct human species.

The new study of the Australian Center for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide (Australia) redraws the map of a historic path that our ancestors Homo Sapiens traveled 50,000-55,000 ago, leaving Africa. to other promised lands of the Eurasian continent. More specifically, that path marks countless different species of love between them and other hominates of extinct species of the genus.

According to the lead author - Dr. João Teixeira, a large group of people from Central - North Central Africa left their homeland to the north. In Egypt today, the group turns into two branches, one toward Algeria today, one moving toward the Middle East and meeting the Neaderthals in the territory of Saudi Arabia - Iraq today. Many heterosexual marriages have occurred. The Neaderthals became extinct a little later (about 30,000-50,000 years ago) but they were able to leave their lineage to the genome of the ancient Homo Sapiens.

Later, the ancestors, with many individuals crossed Neanderthals, split into two groups, one headed towards Europe and remained, one moved to Southeast Asia. On the way, in today's Iran-Pakistan area, our ancestors met a mysterious extinct species, temporarily called "Extinct Hominin 1" , mingling with blood again.

This group continued to advance to the area perhaps near the present-day Burmese border, branching again. The group went to the north to meet the extinct Denisovans, who lived in the Tibetan region today, and again fell in love.

The group turned south across Southeast Asia - once upon a time there could still be a strip of land - to the area of ​​Indonesia. They are called Australo - Papuan , ancestors of modern Indonesians and Australians. The group met again and fell in love with another Denisovans group.

Their descendants continue to divide in half. A group with a rather Filipino-like genetic trait now moves to the Philippines and mates with the Denisovans again; While the group headed to Australia and on the road around the island of Flores in Indonesia today, they drew the blood of the unidentified fourth extinct species, called "Extinct Hominin 2".

This amazing study has just been published in the PNAS scientific journal .
