Interesting. I hear that Aboriginal Australians also have a high amount of Denisovan admix.

nice find, very interesting

when it comes to genetics, anthropology, paleontology, and archeology, (especially genetics and archeology) i get confused

some archeological evidence supports that humans have been in Australia for a much longer time (150k + years ago or more)

i would say both have some sort of limitations but def very accurate, however i think that (imo) Homo Sapiens left Africa about 50,000 to 250,000 years ago in different waves not just two like the current mainstream belief in science, but a whole bunch of em, as well as many attempts and groups who have died out and or another one replaces them (also nature), just like today.

But i def agree that Australian Aborigines are among the first to survive and left Africa or maybe is the oldest surviving relic of one of the groups that sccessfully made it out of Africa leaving descendants along the way

Anthropologically - I would say Africa was already somewhat diverse when Humans started leaving already at that different periods of time (but they were very very similar), brown to black skin with very kinky hair and some with wavy-curly hair, with facial characteristics being somewhat diverse but of Negroid appearance.

Aborigines look very primitive compared to other sub races of the human family

You had some ancient hominins&archaics everywhere in Eurasia before, sums it up well:

So basically model of mixed OoA + polygenic (different archaic admixes) human evolution is confirmed.
Where are those who laugh at Coon's model.
It was extreme (separate branches) but Abos paelo features are probably simply derived from Ngadong / Solo man line (this is supposed mistery SE-Asian hominid related to Denisovan, I'm sure), as Coon stated.
