Why did you use Dinkas as "modern humans" and why only Neanderthals and Dinkas in the model? It is known that they were at least contemporaries of the Denisovans and other hominid species not yet tested and/or yet to be discovered.

What I mean is that behind the "higher".Neanderthal percentage of Asians, there are probably other non-Neanderthal hominids hiding there.

The highest density of Neanderthal populations is thought to have been in Western Europe, with some small isolated exclaves in Western and Central Asia.

Although of course, what is known so far can always be reinterpreted and rewritten differently, if there are archaeological findings that shed new light on these people.

Why Australia is highest? AFAIK, East Asians have highest Neanderthal ancestry.
