French find puts humans in Europe 200,000 years earlier

Here is a question to think about? Different species can not breed with each other to produce fertile offspring. Is there any proof that these or other early humanoids, could breed with modern humans to produce fertile offspring? Could they be another species, that sort of look humanoid (like zebra and donkey)? Would a good burden of proof for claiming human, be proof they could breed successfully? At what point in time, could pre-humans breed with modern humans. Is there any data?

 

I am aware of data limitations, but it is a valid question.

You misunderstand HB, human does not necessarily refer to Homo sapiens, human in this context refers to the genus Homo, there are several speices.
