Though, even being 9000, they would still be considered a "modern" human, correct? Having evolved roughly 300k years ago, I would think their traits would be far more similar to our own then "early" versions of our species

    Yeah but we started fucking Neanderthals way later and there were plenty of inbred diasporas with little outside contact.

    Also it seems to have taken a bit for human ethnicities and morphology to stabilize. We absorbed a lot of other humans in Africa to the point that it unironically messed up a lot of early data cause early scientists didn't think fucked to extinction was a valid form of human expansion.
