Evidence of an unknown species of human ancestor has been found hiding in the
DNA of West African people. Experts made the finding by analyzing the human
genome, looking for strings of genetic information that were out of place. This
revealed an inheritance of markers from an unidentified human-like species, some
of which may be of benefit to their descendants - including one which
suppresses the development of tumors. Researchers believe an ancient species of
hominin, known as Homo heidelbergensis, may be the most likely candidate for
the 'ghost' species.
