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 alive today carry genetic material passed through two separate episodes of interbreeding across hundreds of thousands of years.

1+ week, 7+ hour ago   (1098+ words) 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.
