Two new studies published in The American Journal of Human Genetics (Dannemann et al., 2016; Deschamps et al., 2016) show that introgression of innate immune genes from Neandertals and Denisovans contributed to the modern genome of European and Asian, but not African, populations, and this might partly explain differences in susceptibility to immune-mediated diseases.
