Denisovan admixture facilitated environmental adaptation in Papua New Guinean populations

2024-01-14

Abstract excerpt

Neandertals and Denisovans, having inhabited distinct regions in Eurasia and possibly Oceania for over 200,000 years, experienced ample time to adapt to diverse environmental challenges these regions presented. Among present-day human populations, Papua New Guineans (PNG) stand out as one of the few carrying substantial amounts of both Neandertal and Denisovan DNA, a result of past admixture events with these arch...
