This article should be considerably hugely outdated as leaps and bounds of new information regarding early hominid cohabitation have been discovered since then.

It's safe to say at this point that humans are far more genetically diverse than previously thought and we may not share a single common ancestor considering that some groups contain large amounts of denisovan AND/OR neanderthal DNA that is non-existent in other groups.



Denisovan and Neanderthal admixture predates the events predicted by this article by tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years.

It's also irrelevant to the MRCA of extant humans.
