The #Australian Aboriginal population has the highest % of #Denisovan ancestry amongst extant #Human groups.
(Going off memory here of the most recent publications I'd read.)
The full story of human groups and human migration is a much larger and more complicated story than the average person can even imagine.

Ancient Jomon DNA reveals a lost East Asian lineage with the lowest Denisovan ancestry in the region
A new genetic study is rewriting what researchers know about early human migrations in East Asia, showing that the prehistoric Jomon people of Japan carried far less Denisovan DNA than any other ancient or modern population in the region...

#Denisovan protection from tropical diseases in our #DNA
https://phys.org/news/2025-09-dna-ancient-denisovan-ancestors-tropical.html
Malaria is one of the world's most widespread and deadliest parasitic diseases. But some people may have natural protection thanks to DNA inherited from an extinct group of archaic humans known as the Denisovans. New research has looked at specific Denisovan-derived genes that may protect against this and other tropical diseases.
