'We aren’t even sure when the Denisovans died out, with limited DNA evidence even suggesting they may have survived in New Guinea or its surrounding islands until 15,000-30,000 years ago.' sciencefocus.com/science/deniso… #Sahul #Denisovan
Jejak keturunan Sahul Denisovan masih lebih tinggi di daratan Papua Nugini dibanding kepulauan sebelah timurnya (New Britain). Sejauh ini, tertinggi di area Utara (Madang), Papua Barat (Kombai/Korowai) dan pegunungan Timur PNG.

Jejak keturunan Sahul Denisovan absen di populasi Wallacea, membuktikan sharing keturunan genetik / uniparental markers dengan Australo-Papuan bukan produk migrasi ke arah barat pada periode Holocene, seperti yang diklaim barudak linguistik.
"A team of scientists on Wednesday reported that the #fossil belonged to a 160,000-year-old #Denisovan, a member of a lineage of mysterious, #Neanderthal-like humans that disappeared about 50,000 years ago." nytimes.com/2019/05/01/sci… #Sapiens #Tibet
1. "The new fossil demonstrates that #Denisovans were remarkably hardy, able to endure harsh conditions on the Tibetan plateau, at an elevation of 10,700 feet, with only simple stone tools."
2. "The find also suggests that these #Denisovans may have evolved genetic adaptations to high altitudes, and that living #Tibetans may have inherited those genes thanks to interbreeding between Denisovans and modern humans in prehistoric times."
