The paper is essentially a review of what is known about the multiple interbreeding events that Modern Humans that left Africa had with
various Denisovan populations. They also identify specific Denisovan
alleles of genes that may have been selected for in the various
populations of extant modern humans.

Unlike Neanderthals we have evidence that Modern humans interbred with multiple Denisovan populatiuons, and we apparently retained different
alleles from these encounters. We only have evidence of a single interbreeding event in the genomes of extant humans. There is fossil
DNA evidence of more interbreeding events with Neanderthal, but those
hybrids did not leave descendents that we have found among extant modern humans.
