What's the /sci/ opinion on both the African and Oceanian ghost hominids? I've seen the former being (reasonably) suggested as anything from heidelbergensis to archaic homo sapiens, meanwhile the latter is almost certainly something adjacent to homo erectus. Given that *some* mixing with the former potentially predated even the San split(It's found in all non-africans, and some studies have found it in the Khoisan and Pygmy) I really do wonder what traits it might have given us.

Given that modern NOVA1 does come from Africa, it seems that ghost hominids are branches that diverged by leaving regions with strong lead exposure and then got reintegrated when the modern NOVA1 emerged and leap-frogged social coordination.
