Respuesta :

Around 100,000 years ago there was another species of the Homo genus living throughout Europe, he  Homo neanderthalensis, or commonly called the Neanderthals. This extinct species was the closest relative to modern humans. Genetic studies of neanderthal DNA have shown that in modern humans that live outside of Africa there are3 to 4 percent of genes that have a neanderthal origin which implies that there were multiple interbreeding events in the history of these two species.

As per recent reports, the aged group with whom the progenitors of modern Europeans interbred almost 100,000 years ago is Neanderthals.

What other species did humans mate with?

Denisovans, DNA research has suddenly disclosed that current humans (Homo sapiens) mixed and mated with another ancient human species, the Denisovans, not once but twice, in two different regions of the ancient world.

Thus,  the ancient group with whom the ancestors of Europeans mated almost 100,000 years ago is Neanderthals.
