Somehow the inerrant bible missed this chapter!
The crapinists will argue, "But I thought you said separate species cant mate"?
Um no, that is not what evolution says. As long as the genes are close enough in DNA they can, but once the shuffling creates too much difference the species will not be able to mate.
Morons will claim we are advocating fucking monkeys, but no. It is no different than knowing that humans cross breed plants all the time and create new species.
You cannot today, fuck a baboon as a human and make a baby, because our genes are too far removed. But in this case in your story the separate but still homo line was still close enough at that point.
Evolution is as simple as knowing that grass and trees while not the same species, are closer related than they are to humans. Just like domestic house cats and big cats like tigers and lions are still called cats.
The definition of species is in fact reproductive isolation. That Neanderthal and Denisova produced a hybrid is a result of the dependence on morphology for classifying species. But morphology is not how species is defined, so technically they would be right.
