Native Americans have Denisovan genes?

Highly Compelling, May 5, 2022; Xochitl, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Denisovans are an extinct sister group of Neanderthals known from fragmentary fossils from Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Central and East Asia.

Star People put us here not Bering.

Their genomic legacy is present in several Asian, Australian, and Melanesian populations, which suggests they might have once been widespread. This mandible found by a Buddhist monk in Tibet provides the only direct evidence of Denisovans outside the region they were discovered.
