I'm wondering if some of these different species of humans actually bred with eachother rather than dying out. It happened in Europe where, increasingly, it appears Neanderthals were absorbed by modern humans rather than wiped out by them, so it's not unfeasible it happened further back in Africa too.
They may have been genetically different enough to be considered different species, but not so genetically different that they couldn't breed with eachother. It's very possible. What I'm saying is, maybe both Lucy and this new species are ancestors of modern humans? We could be a hybrid of all these different species.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
