«If chimpanzees - one of the species closest to humans genetically - could do so without human constructs of religion, ethnicity and political beliefs, then "relational dynamics may play a larger causal role in human conflict than often assumed", [Sandel, an anthropologist from the University of Texas in the US, and co-director of the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project, and his colleagues] added.»

Ghost Hominins DNA is a wildly fascinating concept and I might yoink that idea in future fantasy story.
