Very interesting research on the modern-day effects of interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Denisovans that happened thousands of years ago.
In short, Homo sapiens interbred with Denisovans thousands of years ago, which has left modern humans with traces of Denisovan DNA. The Denisovan DNA may have given humans a possible advantage in dealing with cold, but in turn may also have predisposed modern humans to psychiatric disorders because of its involvement in zinc regulation and its role in cellular metabolism.
