Supporting these patterns of successful admixture is the finding that modern humans, Neandertals and Denisovans share a karyotype with 23 pairs of chromosomes as opposed to the other great apes which have 24.

Estimates have been on the order of 170–700 kya for the Denisovan-modern human population split (Meyeretal., 2012) and 270–440 kya for the Neandertal-modern human split (Green et al.,2010), but recent reassessments of mutation rates suggest, e.g., 420 to 780 k for the latter (Hawks,2012).
