What two species did early Homo sapiens live with during the end of the Pleistocene?
A.
Sahelanthropus tchadensis and Denisovans
B.
Neanderthals and Ardipithecus ramidus

Neanderthals and Australopithecines

If you as a paleoanthropologist are plannin an excavation at a hominin site in East Africa which is dated to about 2 million years old, which fossil hominin species might you expect to find?
Some scientists suggest that the Neanderthals and possibly Denisovans, never went extinct, but instead where assimilated into Homo Sapiens. What evidence would you look for to support this hypothesis?
