The analysis revealed that Denisovans diverged from Neanderthals around 400,000 years ago, although the two groups share a common ancestry. Ongaro’s team has identified areas for further research, including more extensive genetic studies of understudied populations that may carry yet-undiscovered traces of Denisovan ancestry.

We leveraged modern human–introgressed sequences in the Neanderthal genome to refine estimates of Neanderthal ancestry in contemporary humans by decomposing IBDmix-detected segments into those attributable to human-to-Neanderthal (H→N) versus Neanderthal-to-human (N→H) gene flow in 2000 modern human individuals.
