Neanderthal genomeThe study found around 50% of the Neanderthal genome in Indians, which is about 90% of all known Neanderthal genes that have entered human populations. This is more than double the amount found in a similar study of Icelanders. The study also found that nearly 12% of the Neanderthal sequences in India are unique and have not been found in other regions.

Denisovan genomeThe study also found around 20% of the Denisovan genome in Indians, which are close relatives of Neanderthals and modern humans. Indians also have the greatest variation in Denisovan genes among Eurasian populations. NCBI50000 years of Evolutionary History of India: Insights from - NCBIFeb 17, 2024 — By assembling the surviving fragments of archaic ancestry in modern Indians, w...ScienceWhere did India's people come from?
