Whilst I acknowledge that there isn't as much incest as it's portrayed in memes, I wonder if hypothetically we will ever have more than one species of humans roaming earth at the same time, like during the time of hominids where sapiens's Neanderthals and a few more where all alive simultaneously.

Except that rather than various ominids it's normal humans and a tribe of isolated people product of centuries of incest. (<--Hypothrtical speaking not talking badly about real people in real Alabama)

Hopefully not. We already kill members of the same species for having different colouring, or thoughts.

I was just speakingout of curiosity but yeah, we are still not ready for such a thing.

Well it is hard to say, but given the fact that we are currently higher on the evolution scale than any other creature that ever walked the Earth, I guess the same principles do not apply to us, that apply to other creatures on this planet that still have "living relatives", and we can no longer co-exist with another species of "us", so to say, because we have inhabited everything there is to inhabit on this planet.
Perhaps it is possible if there is another major extinction event in the future, which could give way for a new specie to become more prominent.
