The DNA of Denisovans could assist present-day humans in adapting to various environments.
In Papua New Guinea, populations living in the highlands and lowlands have distinct gene variants derived from Denisovan archaic humans. These gene variants suggest possible adaptations to lower oxygen levels and a higher risk of malaria.
The people living in the highlands of Papua New Guinea may benefit from having Denisovan DNA. There are different frequencies of several Denisovan genetic variants among those living in the highlands and lowlands, which may help them adapt to their local environmental conditions.
The Denisovans were a group of hominins that inhabited eastern Eurasia for a long time, allowing them to adapt to various environments.
