Research indicates that interactions between early humans and Denisovans have lasting effects on contemporary human immunity. This finding emerges from a genomic analysis of populations in the Pacific region.
The study provides evidence of interbreeding between the ancestors of Near Oceanians and Denisovans, suggesting a complex evolutionary history.
These insights contribute to our understanding of how ancient genetic exchanges shape modern human health and immune responses.
