Maybe Neanderthal sailors operated a ferry for them?

Denisovans must have been on both sides of Wallace’s Line. However, fully modern humans have only retained the DNA evidence on the east side of the line. One explanation could be that moderns and Denisovans only had contact east of Bali.

“Given that humans and their ancestors originated in Africa”
I knew it. I just knew it. And Grandma said us Black Norwegians were descended from Gypsy Princesses. We’re from Africa, Grandma! And we probably aren’t descended from African Princesses either. We’re probably descended from the poor schmoe who had to go out and make sure there weren’t any lions around.
“You! Go outside and see if there are any lions around!”
They’re making a movie about my family - THE REALLY EXPENDABLES.

Neanderthal-like relatives of ancient humans – crossed Wallace’s Line, one of the world’s most formidable marine barriers, more than 100,000 years ago.

And they were all named "Bruce."
