DNA reveals ancient Africans bred with new unknown race of humans just 50,000 years ago

[MAIL] An extinct branch of human ancestry has been discovered lurking inside the DNA of modern-day West Africans which evolved around 500,000 years ago.

Traces of this so-called 'ghost population' were located in modern-day people and did not match the genetic fingerprint of Homo sapiens, Denisovans or Neanderthals.

Exactly what species the hominids belonged to is unknown, but humans mated with them around 50,000 years ago, researchers discovered.
Maxine Waters? Ewwww
No physical evidence — DNA from ancient bones, for example — was found, but a computer model indicates this mysterious species must exist.

Scientists at the University of California in Los Angeles say the unidentified species accounts for up to 19 per cent of the genetic ancestry of four populations in three countries: two from Nigeria, one from Sierra Leone and one from the Gambia.

#3 "Scientists at [UCLA]..."

Hmmm, from the same gaggle of "scientists" who use computer models to show, for example, that NYC was supposed to be underwater 10 years ago?
