Modern humans derive from Denisovans so the distinction seems rather minor.
- mojoe 8y agoAre you saying the divergence couldn't have been that great if there was some level of interbreeding, or are you saying something else? "Derive" seems like a strong word in this case, considering the low single-digit percentage of denisovan DNA in any modern humans.
- posterboy 8y ago> single-digit percentage of denisovan DNA in any modern humans is likely a wrong description. We share around 90% of DNA with pigs, cucumber and what not (figures estimated, I'm not into Bio).
