The DNA belongs to a species of hominid that’s neither human nor Neanderthal." Neanderthals are human. You mean neither Homo sapiens nor Homo neanderthalensis. “1.

Neanderthals are human. You mean neither Homo sapiens nor Homo neanderthalensis.

Regardless, the simplest explanation is that this X woman was a member of Homo erectus. It is slightly younger than the oldest H. erectus in Asia, but not by much. There is no reason to believe that human migration is a series of all or nothing square waves. Africans first left Africa, say, 60,000 years ago, but the migration has ever stopped since the first wave. And it continues to this date.
