Question

Which population has a small percentage of Denisovan genes,thus suggesting interbreeding?
A) Asians
B) Melanesians
C) H. floresiensis
D) Neanderthals
E) chimpanzees

Accepted Answer

Melanesians have been found to have the highest percentage of Denisovan genes outside of Denisova cave itself, suggesting interbreeding between Denisovans and early Melanesians. Other populations, including Asians and Neanderthals, also have some Denisovan genes, but to a lesser degree. H. floresiensis, a hominin species found on the island of Flores, has also been found to have some Denisovan DNA, but it is unclear if this resulted from interbreeding or a common ancestor with Denisovans. Chimpanzees, although closely related to humans, are a separate species and do not have Denisovan genes.
