Ancient Humans Were Mixing It Up: Anatomically Modern Humans Interbred With More Archaic Hominin Forms While in Africa

ScienceDaily (Sep. 5, 2011) — It is now widely accepted that the species Homo sapiens originated in Africa and eventually spread throughout the world. But did those early humans interbreed with more ancestral forms of the genus Homo, for example Homo erectus, the "upright walking man," Homo habilis, -- the "tool-using man" or Homo neanderthalensis, the first artists of cave-painting fame?

Direct studies of ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones suggest interbreeding did occur after anatomically modern humans had migrated from their evolutionary cradle in Africa to the cooler climates of Eurasia, but what had happened in Africa remained a mystery -- until now.

In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a team led by Michael Hammer, an associate professor and research scientist with the the University of Arizona's Arizona Research Labs, provides evidence that anatomically modern humans were not so unique that they remained separate.

No, it is not widely accepted. Obviously, Kenny, you failed to check the accuracy of this proclamation with Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry. Both of them will tell you that one day god decided there should be a species called homo sapiens and so god killed off all other creatures that might infringe on the homo sapiens and snapped a few fingers, thereby creating homo sapiens everywhere.

Then a few hundred years later, god saw what a miserable job had been done and decided that homo sapiens needed an United States of America, run, of course, by selected christian european whites, a place god could finally be proud of, and so god snapped a few fingers and there it was -- the white christian United States of America.

Just ask and you will be enlightened. I just can't figure out why you insist on repeating these evolutionary falsehoods.

Ah, the voice of truth and reason, Michelle Bachmann.
