In a new paper led by Jiaqi Yang we trace the distribution of Denisovan introgressed DNA in ancient modern human genomes over time.

We find that Denisovan ancestry in Eurasia spread through gene flow from early East Asians, but that the Jomon, very early inhabitants of Japan, had much less Denisovan ancestry than other early East Asians providing evidence for n ancient East Asian lineage with little to no Denisovan ancestry
