Denisovan introgression has shaped the immune system of present-day Papuans
TLDR
Support is provided for the hypothesis that, despite their broadly deleterious nature, archaic alleles actively contribute to modern human phenotypic diversity and might have facilitated early adaptation to non-African environments.
Underrepresented Populations at the Archaic Introgression Frontier
TLDR
The focus has shifted from viewing archaic ancestry as a quirk of human evolution into understanding the functional importance of these rare genomic regions enriched for archaic ancestry.
MaLAdapt reveals novel targets of adaptive introgression from Neanderthals and Denisovans in worldwide human populations
TLDR
MaLAdapt is especially well-powered to detect AI with mild beneficial effects, including selection on standing archaic variation, and is robust to non-AI selection sweeps, heterosis, and demographic misspecifications.
A Middle Pleistocene Denisovan molar from the Annamite Chain of northern Laos
The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report a Middle Pleistocene hominin…
Apportioning archaic variants among modern populations
TLDR
It is found that archaic ancestry coverage at the individual- and population-level present distinct patterns in modern human populations: South Asians have nearly twice the number of population-unique archaic alleles compared with Europeans or East Asians, indicating that these populations experienced differing demographic and archaic admixture events.
Unveiling the Genetic History of the Maniq, a Primary Hunter-Gatherer Society
TLDR
The Maniq is revealed to be a Semang group that experienced intense genetic drift and exhibits signs of ancient Hòabìnhian ancestry, indicative of their small population size and historical practice of endogamy.
The Peopling and Migration History of the Natives in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo: A Glimpse on the Studies Over the Past 100 years
TLDR
This review aims to revisit the understanding to the population genetics of the natives from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo over the past century based on the chronology of the technology advancement using Anthropological and Physical Characterization, Mitochondrial and Autosomal DNA Markers, and Whole Genome Analysis as a guide.
INITIAL HUMAN COLONIZATION OF THE AMERICAS, REDUX
The study of the peopling of the Americas has been transformed in the past decade by astonishing progress in paleogenomic research. Ancient genomes now show that Native American ancestors were…

Discerning the Origins of the Negritos, First Sundaland People: Deep Divergence and Archaic Admixture
TLDR
Phylogenetic tree analyses show that Negritos are basal to other East and Southeast Asians, and that they diverged from West Eurasians at least 38,000 years ago.
Denisova admixture and the first modern human dispersals into Southeast Asia and Oceania.
Multiple Deeply Divergent Denisovan Ancestries in Papuans
Widespread Denisovan ancestry in Island Southeast Asia but no evidence of substantial super-archaic hominin admixture.
TLDR
The results corroborate widespread Denisovan ancestry in ISEA populations, but fail to detect any substantial super-archaic admixture signals compatible with the endemic fossil record of ISEA.
Denisovan ancestry and population history of early East Asians
TLDR
It is shown that this individual was a female member of a modern human population that, following the split between East and West Eurasians, experienced substantial gene flow from West Eurasia, and both she and a 40,000-year-old individual from Tianyuan outside Beijing carried genomic segments of Denisovan ancestry.
Genetic evidence for archaic admixture in Africa
TLDR
DNA sequence data gathered from 61 noncoding autosomal regions in a sample of three sub-Saharan African populations are used to test models of African archaic admixture and suggest that polymorphisms present in extant populations introgressed via relatively recent interbreeding with hominin forms that diverged from the ancestors of modern humans in the Lower-Middle Pleistocene.
Archaic Hominin Admixture Facilitated Adaptation to Out-of-Africa Environments
Unravelling the Genetic History of Negritos and Indigenous Populations of Southeast Asia
TLDR
The continuum in divergence time from Negritos to Senoi and Proto-Malay in combination with ancestral markers provides evidences of multiple waves of migration into SEA starting with the first Out-of-Africa dispersals followed by Early Train and subsequent Austronesian expansions.
Archaic human ancestry in East Asia
TLDR
The results suggest admixture between Denisovans or a Denisova-related population and the ancestors of East Asians, and that the history of anatomically modern and archaic humans might be more complex than previously proposed.
Genetic history of an archaic hominin group from Denisova Cave in Siberia
TLDR
A tooth found in Denisova Cave carries a mitochondrial genome highly similar to that of the finger bone, further indicating that Denisovans have an evolutionary history distinct from Neanderthals and modern humans.
