Humans Migrated to Mongolia Much Earlier Than Previously Believed

I love how the Denisovans were named after a guy named Denis who lived in a cave. Very Adamsist.<p>The time that humans arrived keeps getting pushed back as older artefacts are found - can we plot dates against discovery time to estimate when it asymptotes? (And when we will get there, within some ε.)<p>The date for Aboriginal Australians is 65,000 ATM. Mongolia seems a similar distance. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Aboriginal_Australians#cite_note-ClarksonJacobs2017-6" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Aboriginal_Australians#cite_note-...</a>

I one took a trip to Mongolia in the dead of winter one year. -45 C at night, -25 C in the daytime. I hate cold, but I wanted to see life in such an extreme environment. Very eye-opening, but I was glad I had my winter hiking gear and ice climbing socks with me just to walk around town. I can&#x27;t imagine how it was for people thousands of years ago.<p>A few photos here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dheera.net&#x2F;photos&#x2F;places&#x2F;mongoliawinter" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dheera.net&#x2F;photos&#x2F;places&#x2F;mongoliawinter</a>

Are there any studies that check % Denisovian DNA versus living elevation? All I hear about Denisovians are that they were more adapted to higher elevation living. So if there were a mixing event or multiple mixing events however many tens of thousands of years ago - could it possibly be that the offspring naturally end up at different elevations based on what was optimal for their genetics?
