"Meanwhile, a large cache of gene variants thought to be unique to humans, because they are found in Homo sapiens but not in the archaic human relatives called Neanderthals and Denisovans, has turned out to be widespread across primates1."Article Biggest ever study of primate genomes has surprises for humanity

The gene variants thought to be unique to [modern] humans are NOT reliable. So, CURRENT wrong PARADIGM produced this inferring.

In NEW PARADIGM, Neanderthals & Denisovans were genomically modern due to the Levantine macroevolution ~140 ka.

Instead of NATURAL SELECTION, a new evolutionary process, DNA-driven Retro-Progressive Evolution produced TRUE Neanderthals & TRUE Denisovans (post-140 ka).

?Extreme coolings triggered the DNA?

The glacial max ~140 ka, Skhul 9 Sapiens burial

The glacial max ~70 ka, Neanderthal burials & ?LB1 Floresiensis?

The glacial max ~260 ka? Naledi burials? (Berger et al. 2023)

Naledi and Floresiensis

???Evolutionary relics or RETROGRESSIVE forms

due to extreme cooling effect on DNA, an unknown evolutionary process???

The CURRENT STATUS of HUMAN EVOLUTION is chaotic.

Urgently must be tested the predicted genomic discontinuity between pre-140 and post-140 ka Homo. If true, pre-140 ka Homo seems a distinct taxon, neither Sapiens nor Homo.

The phylogenetic contradiction supports that

pre-140,000y fossils are NOT Denisovan

and NOT Neanderthal
