Complex history of hybridization with #Denisovans '3 to 5 percent of their DNA came from an unidentified hominin lineage that diverged from ours roughly 1.8 million years ago' https://scienceblog.com/t-denisovans-superarchaic-dna-two-interbreeding-episodes/

The Denisovans who interbred with modern humans were already hybrids. UC Berkeley researchers inferred that 3 to 5 percent of their DNA came from an unidentified hominin lineage that diverged from ours roughly 1.8 million years ago—meaning some people ali

A genomic reconstruction suggests Denisovans inherited 3 to 5 percent of their DNA from a much older unidentified lineage before passing a fraction onward to modern humans.
