8 human species?

[wil]

We do not have a definitive list of all human species, as new discoveries are still being made. However, at least eight species, including Homo sapiens, are believed to have existed around 300,000 years ago. These include Homo neanderthalensis, Denisovans, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo naledi, Homo luzonensis, and Homo floresiensis.

That and we homo sapiens intermingled our DNA with Neanderthals in Europe and Denisovans in Asia after migrating out of Africa.

Do we have the DNA of the other species as well?

Do we have the DNA of the other species as well?

Science has, we don't, that we know of. They are over a dozen and pretty sure we will find more species, the unique thing currently is these 8 all coexisted at the same time period.

There may have been more that itemized and didn't continue to procreate and thrive. It is thought the ones that did benefitted from DNA that improved immune system, Neanderthals were better adapted for colder climates.

Africans have the lowest percentages because the fewer generations since colonization and bringing the new genes back a couple hundred years ago.
