No I said Humans, There were humans in Africa for the past 3 million years. What makes you think none of them wandered up to Europe in 3 million years?

There are at least 16 different sub-species of Humans, that we know of and new ones are discovered all the time. 4 have been discovered recently, through DNA analysis alone since we have no fossil record of them. If humans, meaning, Homo Sapiens Sapiens could interbreed with Neanderthals and 3 different species of Denisovans why do you think that we didn't all come from the same sub-species, Homo Sapiens Edaltu.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens_idaltuIf I were still Mormon I'd say, "That's Adam!" only he was here about 195,000 years ago and Eve was probably one of the many other species of humans who existed at that time, Neanderthal, Denisovan, Cro-Magnon, Heidelbergensis, Homo Erectus. Adam could have been a polygamist, going back millions of years in Africa and at least a million years in Europe and probably even longer in Melanesian and Australia.

What I meant was more ancient, as a species.
Denisovans were around Europe and Asia 200,000-50,000 years ago. The point is, they never went extinct, they still exist in the genetic information inside of SE Asians and Melenesians. The reason Tibeten Sherpas can exist at high altitude is because they are high in Denisovan DNA.

I do have a full time job and have written most of what I have written this week in between airplane flights, so I don't have time to do a thorough research project, and provide you with a bibliography professor.
I read it back when you shared it.
But the Newsweek article was a lot easier to find the information and I trust NEwsweek.
Tell me when they've been wrong in reporting on science.
