It is evident from the fossil record that at one point in history, at least two hominid species could have met. What would happen when they met? The reality is, no one knows and it is impossible to know. We know that some of them interbred so it's plausible that they could have gotten along but there is no way to know for sure. I pose that they probably would not have gotten along. I mean, look at what is happening right now in the world. There are currently protests going on in all 50 United States and many other countries because humans - all the same species just with different skin tones - can't get along. If "civilized" hominids of the same species can't get along, why would it be reusable to believe that "uncivilized" hominids of different species could get along? Now I do think that there were exceptions and some members of differing species were able to coexist and maybe even cohabitant but overall, I do not believe that they got along all, or even most, of the time.
