How certainly do we actually know that? If the evidence you claim is that there are no Y-chromosomes from other hominids, an alternative explanation could be that hybrids with Y-chromosomes from other hominids did exist, but disappeared gradually over the centuries/millenia either because they were less fit or through pure chance.
Are there any now living people with mt-dna from other hominids?
Having a minority non-autosomal genotype could be an issue as there might be recurring "compatibility problems", given that the autosomal dna would mainly evolve to work with the majority mtdna and ydna.
- ginko 2y agoThe genetic evidence points into the other direction: > There is considerably less Neanderthal ancestry on the X-chromosome compared to the autosomal chromosomes, which similarly suggests that admixture with modern humans was primarily the result of mating between modern human females and Neanderthal males. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics#Parentage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics#Parentage
