Denisovan and Near Oceanian Ancestry Are Proportional Except in the Philippines

We plot pD(X), the estimated percentage of Denisova ancestry as a fraction of that seen in New Guineans, against the estimated percentage of Near Oceanian ancestry pN(X) by using the values from Table 1 (horizontal and vertical bars specify ±1 standard errors). The Mamanwa deviate significantly from the pD(X) = pN(X) line, indicating that their Denisova genetic material does not owe its origin to gene flow from a population related to Near Oceanians. A weaker deviation is seen in the Manobo, who live near the Mamanwa on the island of Mindanao.
