"Just 300,000 years ago – a blink in evolutionary time – at least nine species of humans wandered the planet. Today, only our own, Homo sapiens, remains. And this raises one of the biggest questions in the story of human evolution: where did everyone else go?" https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/18/where-did-other-human-species-go-vanished-ancestors-homo-sapiens-neanderthals-denisovans #Science #Evolution #Biology #Palaeontology #Anthropology #Neanderthals @science

@bibliolater @science
isn't this paragraph a contradiction?

“It’s not a coincidence that several of them disappeared around the time that Homo sapiens started to spread out of Africa and around the rest of the world,” says Prof Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London. “What we don’t know is if that was a direct connection."

well they think its a contradiction or not?

@bibliolater @science what does it mean for H. sapiens to OUTCOMPETE H. neanderthalensis? populations of either of them back 40,000 yrs ago couldn't have been dense enough for much competition could they have been?

unless sapiens wanted to live in ALL THE EXACT places as neanderthal!
