    There were two waves of aborigines that migrated out of Africa - the first wave became the indigenous peoples of Australia, while the second wave became the early inhabitants of East Asia. Traces of Denisovan ancestry have been found in indigenous populations across Oceania, like Australia and the Philippines, suggesting that Denisovans from Southeast Asia interbred with the ancestors of these groups.

    Studies  show  that  there  were  actually  two  waves  of  aborigines  where  we  can  trace  the  migration  of 
    early humans. The first wave would be the present‐day aborigines of Australia and the second wave are 
    the  forerunners  of  most  of  the  current  residents  of  East  Asia.  Traces  of  Denisovan  ancestry  had 
    previously been found in the present‐day inhabitants of New Guinea, which is also found in aboriginal 
    populations of Australia, the Philippines, Polynesia, Fiji and eastern Indonesia. The research show that 
    Denisovans ranged in the Southeast Asia interbred with some of today’s populations.

    QUESTIONS 

    1. From which part of the world were the two waves of aborigines from? 
    2. How do you think the remains of Denisovan ancestry reached different parts of the Pacific? 
    3. Do you believe that Denisovan ancestry is the root of our lineage? 

    CHALLENGE 

      Researchers are conducting studies to trace the migration of early humans. What do you think is 
    the importance of knowing our roots?
