Wider spread Denisovan ancestry in SE Asia
(link is to abstract - it's paywalled)
Short pop sci summary of findings
Genetic analysis of inhabitants of SE Asia islands indicated 3 separate Denisovan/Homo Sapiens hybridization events. The original Siberian one, then a SE Asia one, and finally New Guinea. The New Guinea event was between 15-30K years ago, and therefore Denisovans may have been the longest lasting cousin to us. No positive signs of hybridization with either of the other homo species in the area (H. floresiensis or H. luzonensis) - there may have been something, but it was barely above background, so not significant.
