Two Denisovan fossils, a femur and tibia, discovered 60 meters underwater near Taiwan, suggest this ancient human relative grew to nearly 1.9 meters tall. Dating back approximately 45,000 years, the finds are reshaping our understanding of Denisovan physical characteristics and evolutionary history. Previously, Denisovans were primarily known from limited bone fragments and genetic analysis, with estimations of their size based on those incomplete remains. This discovery marks a significant departure from previous assumptions about their stature. Researchers utilized advanced technologies to analyze the fossils retrieved from the Penghu Channel. The findings indicate Denisovans were considerably taller than previously believed, altering the narrative surrounding human evolution and migration patterns in Asia. This finding raises new questions about how Denisovans interacted with and potentially interbred with other hominin groups, including Homo sapiens.
