CONT

C'est désormais bien établi : nos ancêtres Homo sapiens ont côtoyé d'autres espèces humaines avec lesquelles ils se sont métissés. Ces espèces aujourd'hui disparues, les Néandertaliens et les Dénisoviens, ont ainsi légué certains gènes aux humains d'aujourd'hui.

OBS

Les Dénisoviens [...] ont côtoyé les Néandertaliens [...] ainsi que nos ancêtres Homo sapiens [...] jusqu'à seulement 30 000 ans avant notre ère [...]
