[quote:Anonymous Coward 959838:MV8xNjQ0OTE1XzFGQ0UwNzNE] DNA studies have already proved that ancestors of modern humans got intimate with Neanderthals in Europe and another Asian relative called the Denisovans. But now scientists have claimed our earliest ancestors were playing the field with other kinds of human much further back in time. Interbreeding between the different sub-species may date to beyond the point when anatomically modern humans first emerged 200,000 years ago. Examples of now-extinct humans who may have contributed to the modern gene pool include the "upright walking man", Homo erectus, and "tool-using man", Homo habilis. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5il8h7B0AuiP_tO6BfpKg9M88G8cA?docId=N0204621315228828286A [/quote]

DNA studies have already proved that ancestors of modern humans got intimate with Neanderthals in Europe and another Asian relative called the Denisovans.
But now scientists have claimed our earliest ancestors were playing the field with other kinds of human much further back in time. Interbreeding between the different sub-species may date to beyond the point when anatomically modern humans first emerged 200,000 years ago.
