Complete and utter crap. There is yet zero convincing evidence that there were ever two simultaneous species living at the same time in the last couple of million years. The fossil record is sketchy enough that it might actually have happened in the 7 digits ago time frame, but nothing drives us to that conclusion other than other than people wanting *their* find to be unique. All examples in the time frame of this post it is known that there was gene flow between the variations/populations and therefore they were not separate species from an evolutionary perspective, which is, after all, what we are discussing.
