I am pretty sure there are no populations with high Denisovan ancestry on the Asian side of the Wallace line. Do you have a reference which describes such a population?
- YUMad 8y agoPhilippine Negritos have high Denisovan %: https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/9/8/2013/3952725 https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/9/8/2013/3952725 Malaysian and Andamanese Negritos don't.
- danieltillett 8y agoThe Philippines weren't ever connect to Asia via a land bridge and Huxley's modification of the Wallace line (Huxley Line) runs between the Philippines and Borneo [1]. This paper is very interesting though as it provides clues as to how the Denosovian spread through the Sahul. It adds even more support that the new homo sp. found in the OA are Denosovian. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Line https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Line
