Imagine a multi-species society that didn't grow out of the xenophobic genocide that led to us being lonely Homos.
Lots of evidence that in many instances Sapiens integrated into their societies and they integrated into ours. The other hominids were never extremely populous (usually existing in small pockets) and yet their genome lives on in statistically significant ways in modern humans. That wouldn't be the case at the scale it currently is if we always avoided each other or killed each other, even accounting for sexual violence. These peoples in many places became community and family, and eventually that integration (combined with Sapiens sheer numbers and geographic distribution) "wiped them out".
Now, there's also plenty of evidence of conflict too, like a cave where we can see Neanderthalis butchered and probably ate Sapiens. But it wasn't always bad.
