Scientists have discovered traces of two previously unknown human relatives, dubbed 'ghost ancestors', in the DNA of modern humans. These ancestors, who interbred with Homo sapiens tens of thousands of years ago, have left their genetic legacy in all people. The exact identities of these ancestors remain unclear, but their existence is supported by regions of DNA inherited from them.
