Caption for the graphic....Reconstruction of early spread of modern humans outside Africa. Note admixture between early dispersal (red) and second dispersal (black), as well as presence of archaic Denisovans in Asia. Science magazine.
Shows Caucasians have 100K years plus of separate genetic development from other African sub groups, and 38K years separate genetic development from Mongoloids.

I believe it. My brother-in-law, Dennis, is definitely descended from the Denisovans.
It appears human populations respect the Wallace Line as well.
“Related populations suggested are hunger-gatherers”
Difficult to take an article seriously when they can’t even proof their own material.
Do you suppose they meant “hunter-gatherers”.
"================== The Negrito are a class of several ethnic groups who inhabit isolated parts of Southeast Asia.[1] Ati children, the Philippines Their current populations include 12 Andamanese peoples of the Andaman Islands, six Semang peoples of Malaysia, the Mani of Thailand, and the Aeta, Agta, Ati, and 30 other peoples of the Philippines. Reports from British traders also speak of negrito people on Borneo (Sarawak). (Journal of the Malayan Branch Royal Asiatic Society, Vol. XXIX, part 1, 1956) Negritos are the most genetically distant human population from Africans at most loci studied thus far (except for MC1R, which codes for dark skin). They have also been shown to have separated early from Asians, suggesting that they are either surviving descendants of settlers from an early migration out of Africa, commonly referred to as the Proto-Australoids, or that they are descendants of one of the founder populations of modern humans.[2]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negrito
