A team of researchers collect blood samples from members of the Fanan indigenous community on Sunday, 12 March 2017, in Loran village, Aru Tengah district, Aru regency, Maluku. The blood collection was part of a genetic study to determine the origins of the Indonesian people.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS— The latest genetic analysis proved that the ancestors of modern humans (Homo sapiens) interbred with at least five ancient humans after leaving Africa for Eurasia (Europe-Asia).
The two archaic humans were Neanderthal and Denisovan, while the other three were not named and only traced with their DNA. Islands in Southeast Asia are the center of the new finding.
