   Well they are keenly aware of "Regional Continuity," which we in the   
   west aren't allowed to talk about, and they conclude that modern   
   populations differ from each other in similar was as to the pre modern.   
      
   But, I don't believe there could have been any problems with   
   interbreeding. And, quite frankly, nobody has come up with a   
   satisfactory erectus/denisovan line... like where one ends and the   
   other begins.   
      
   So, if you're uncomfortable with erectus substitute denisovan,   
   or some as yet identified ancestor. But, again, I don't see any   
   problem with erectus.   
      
   I'm sure interbreeding was possible.
