Genomic analyses of modern Central and Southeast Asian populations reveal the presence of multiple Denisovan populations

More than a decade ago, the sequencing of Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes revealed that the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa involved episodes of admixture with archaic hominins already established in Eurasia. Present-day non-African populations inherited around 2% of their genome from Nea...

Summary:More than a decade ago, the sequencing of Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes revealed that the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa involved episodes of admixture with archaic hominins already established in Eurasia. Present-day non-African populations inherited around 2% of their genome from Neanderthals, whereas Denisovan ancestry is absent in Europeans and only detected at low levels in Asians, with the highest proportions found in Oceanians. While the Neanderthal presence across Eurasi...
