Researchers have discovered a new race of ‘ghost’ species which is now believed to have played a key role in developing the genetic makeup of populations in West Africa, shedding stunning new light on the true origins of modern humanity. As The Daily Mail reports:
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.
No physical evidence — DNA from ancient bones, for example — was found, but a computer model indicates this mysterious species must exist.
The DNA the researchers identified came from a lost species of early human hominids that was previously unknown to science.
Let’s not over react to scientists “modeling” something. Models are seldom accurate without years of “tweaking” and support from scientific discoveries in the field. Everywhere you turn in these postulations are the words “may”, “could”, and “if”. Just like ABC News, there is a lot of guessing going on. They are going to guess in the direction that creates the bigger headlines .
Another thought that occurs to me is the lost tribes of israel. Could this be the ghost they refer too? as far as time lines go where ate they getting this data?
Pure malarkey, Gen 1:1 God created the heavens and earth. looks like someone needs to read and believe Gods word.
Isn’t there something n the bible that references the gods having their way with woman and God commanded this must stop? A sort of giant race?
No physical evidence was found….here we go again…another completely unfounded conjecture. Science is the study of evidence not the discussion of conjecture.
That’s exactly where my mind tracked off to as well. So, their computer model has a gap in it and we’re supposed to jump to “ghost ancestors?”
Another attempt to prove that God did not create man…
Bull!
amen! they’re always trying to remove God from the creation of Man, they just can’t stand the fact that they always fall short of proving something that is unprovable!
According to the Zohar, worlds existed before this world. It does not contradict the Biblical Story, as what was created by G-d was our recorded history’s direct ancestor. It is possible that other World’s existed, which were destroyed by mankind’s inability to get along with each other on this planet. That is the sad trajectory that we are on. We may have to start over if we continue on this path. We have a United Nations which is a total joke, and there are member nations that are threatening the existence of other member nations, Heaven Forfend that they should develop nuclear weapons. Yet, we have a political party, whose members apparently support these sworn enemies.
In short, Don’t get bent out of shape over a potential species that didn’t make it.
So agree with your comments! I very much believe some of our ancients came from other worlds and that God indeed has created us all and all that we currently know
