East Asians have the most Neanderthal DNA left in them. [0]

Regarding Denisovans:

A 2011 study found that Denisovan DNA is prevalent in Aboriginal Australians, Near Oceanians, Polynesians, Fijians, Eastern Indonesians and Mamanwans (from the Philippines); but not in East Asians, western Indonesians, Jahai people (from Malaysia) or Onge (from the Andaman Islands). [1]

There are even outlier populations in East Asia who are >2% Neanderthal.

Way more then any known population in Western Eurasia, from what I've seen at least.

It does seem a bit odd as it's the opposite of the popular stereotypes.
