The oldest human DNA was found in the Yoruba. It is irrational to call it ‘ghost’ DNA when the Denisovan DNA was named after Denisova Cave (Siberia) and Neanderthal DNA was named after Neander Valley (Germany). The so-called ‘ghost’ DNA should be called the Yoruba. The Yoruba DNA has been ddgfound in both Denisovans and Neanderthals, which the scientists have misinterpreted as evidence of interbreeding. A more likely explanation arises from the fact that whilst other ancient DNAs were found in fossils, the Yoruba DNA was found in living human beings. This suggests as follows: 1. The Yoruba was right at the outset the complete humanoid. 2. All other human species originated from the Yoruba. 3. The first migrators out of Yorubaland tried unsuccessfully to adapt to their new environment. 4. Survival of the migrators in their new homes depended on the level of survival skills that the Yoruba humanoids had developed by the time the migrators left. 5. The first waves of migrators had the lowest skill set for successful migration whilst the later waves of migrators had higher.
