Today, remnants of this DNA – amounting to roughly 3% of some people’s genomes – are present in Australasia. This indicates that the “Denisovans” must have existed not just in Siberia, but also along the southeast Asian route that early modern humans used to reach Australasia, where the hypothesized hybridization occurred.
如今，这一DNA残留——在某些人的基因组中大约占3%的比重——在澳大拉西亚也存在。这表明“德尼索瓦人”一定不仅仅存在于西伯利亚，也存在于东南亚路径上，早期现代人经此路径抵达假想的杂交发生地——澳大拉西亚。
