During the Middle and Late Pleistocene, several human lineages, apparently at the species level, coexisted with H. sapiens in Africa and Eurasia. These extinct members of the human genus include H. heidelbergensis / H. rhodesiensis, Homo naledi, Homo floresiensis, # Homo luzonensis, Denisovans, Neanderthals and Homo erectus. The phylogenetic relationship between these co-existing lineages and modern humans has long been debated. And now several scientific articles describe a new species of people from East Asia - Homo longi, with its own unique history of evolution.
And at the very end, I will very briefly mention the find from Israel, Homo Nesher Ramla, it is also interesting to many.
