[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Ancestors of modern humans interbred with five different archaic human groups
Two of these groups are known, the Neanderthals and the Denisovans from Asia
The others have been detected as DNA traces surviving in modern populations
The researchers say that these archaic groups were widespread and genetically diverse, and survive in each of us today
