The discovery of the ability to exchange genes between ancient humans

According to the British journal Nature, a group of international scientists with Russian involvement confirms that modern humans may be descended from some ancient human species.

For a long time, science has always assumed that different ancient species cannot exchange genes.

However, scientists from Russia's Northern Institute of Biological Problems have found a mystery that is the ability to mate among ancient humans.

They argue that modern humans may be descended from some ancient human species like Homo sapiens, Neanderthal and Denisovets.

Results of recent DNA tests have confirmed the so-called "hybrid theory" between Homo sapiens and Neanderthal.

An international team of scientists uses genetic analysis to decipher the Neanderthal woman's genome discovered in the Denisov cave in the Altai region, West Siberia and found the mating of humans. used to live in this cave.

Thus, it can be affirmed that the different ancient species had gene exchange and after dividing around 400,000 years ago, these ancient human species were not completely isolated from each other.
