Are Africans admixed with one superarchaic Hominin, or a multitude of archaic Hominin species?  New genetic evidence is offering some serious clues to the longstanding mystery of sexual introgression from archaics into modern Africans.  

Scientists are concluding that a number of Hominins from 50,000 years ago to 800,000 years ago, sexually introgressed with Africans' ancestors.

Homo erectus (Homo ergaster) obviously are a prime candidate.  But Lee Berger and the Rising Star Cave of Bones crew are suggesting a new candidate.  Do KhoiSan and possibly Afro-Pygmies have Homo naledi DNA?
