So like, what's the current consensus on human origins? How does prolonged low-scale gene flow between the different homos fit into things?

>>16926712We’re only just beginning to find out about how much archaic Homo admixture we have. I bet within the next five years we’ll find evidence of interbreeding between H. juluensis, H. luzonensis, H. erectus, etc either with H. sapiens or with each other
>>16926795It's recently been suggested that Oceanians picked up Erectus admixture from Denisovan populations.

>>16926821Look at the Cranium of derived javanese Erectus like Ngangdong and it’s hardly different to modern Melanesians
>>16926712Syarted in Africa and radiated outward in multiple waves. >How does prolonged low-scale gene flow between the different homos fit into things?First thing that's important to note is that all humans share approximately 99.5% of their genome. Whenever people talk about ~7% Neanderthal DNA in certain populations, they're talking about 7% of that remaining 0.5%. While it's a non-trivial protion of what makes up modern human biodiversity, it is dwarfed by contributions from more "mundane" sources like genetic drift within Sapiens themselves.

>>16927080Perhaps I'm just blind or haven't seen good enough pictures, but I really don't see the resemblance desu.
>>16928138The moderate brow ridge attached to a sloping yet relatively high cranium as can be seen in Papuans/Aboriginals/Melanesians. At the back the lower occipital forms a basically pentagonal shape.
>>16928386>moderate browWhat? Looks more like a rain gutter than anything I have ever seen on a human.
