New Scientist published an interesting article which suggests that modern humans mixed with Denisovans twice, that is, they had sex with two separate groups of Denisovans.
The first admixture took place some 50,000 years ago but... a second event happened in the island of New Guinea far more recently: some 15,000 years ago.
So Denisovans had reached this island and when humans got there, well, they did what people usually do... shared body fluids and admixed.
What we need now, is to know who were these Denisovans, where did they come from, what were they like...
