I assume genetic manipulation would be more evident? Was this ruled out?

No it shows that Africans mated with another yet to be identified species. It says in the article No Europeans were affected by this.

This occured post the great migration. Neanderthal dna was added after that, in the middle eastern/turkey region around the black sea where they shared apparently peacefully for a long time. That strain of dna is not found in Africans. This new one is not found in European/asian populations.

This also means that other species of humans existed in africa long after the dominant form had been reached.

cool stuff

Well obviously the ones they tested aren't fully homo sapiens no. They have non human blood in them.
