Instead, "what these findings say to me are that characteristics were probably more varied in ancient human populations than we think," Trinkaus said. "We see characteristics mix and match in populations across the world nowadays, and I believe that characteristics shuffled back and forth in ancient human populations across the landscape over centuries and millennia. The idea of distinct, separate lineages in this time period in human evolution is meaningless — it was much more of a labyrinth than that."
The scientists detailed their findings online today (July 7) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." LiveScience
Yes.....separate lineages for humans are MEANINGLESS since they all descend from the same man & woman....
