'Ghost', the human ancestors in Western Africa discovered
Tracing the connections between the different species is a complex scientific quest
can have A mysterious "Ghost population" of now-extinct ancient human-like creatures interbred with Early Humans living in West Africa , say the scientists.
the researchers suspect DNA from this group can be between 2% and 19% of the modern West-Africans, the genetic lineage.
they believe that the crossing occurred about 43,000 years ago.
scientists found out links to the Mende people in Sierra Leone , Yoruba and Esan people in Nigeria, plus other groups in the Western regions of The Gambia .
in This Week .
It suggests that the ancestors of modern West Africans interbred with an as yet undiscovered species of archaic humans, like the ancient Europeans mated with Neanderthals, and Oceanic populations with Denisovans.
The research throws more light on how archaic hominins added, although it is The Most genetically diverse continent.
hundreds of thousands of years there were several different groups of people, including Modern Humans , Neanderthals and Denisovans.
The newly discovered "ghost population" of the old human species seems likely to be from these groups.
Sriram Sankara Raman, the computational biologist who led the research at the University of California, Los Angeles , BBC Newsday told he believed more such groups would be found in The Future .
His team examined the genetic make-up of West-Africans and found that some of her DNA came from an old unexplained source.
"As we get more Data from different groups of the population - and to view a better quality of the Data - our ability, Data , and dig out this Ghost population is again better go," said Mr Sankara Raman said.
