    In summary, it predicts #Neanderthal and chimps, plenty archaic, the known #Denisovan bones, and as a bonus, some mystery skulls, thought to be Denisovan, long before the paper. 1000 times more science than some opinion on bones that can't be tested. https://t.co/9U11YjC7Ju https://t.co/UmrkdF2MJR https://t.co/fMHQQaBFrn

    Also, 7 out of 8 mandibular traits in the predicted profile were later observed in the Denisovan mandible (Xiahe), but the prediction of wide fingertips didn't match the pinky. Looking forward to seeing additional suspected/confirmed Denisovan bones! https://t.co/bJxa8GbwN1

    Up until now, the ONLY Denisovan remains discovered are three teeth, a finger bone and a lower jaw. But last year scientists used DNA to reconstruct the face of a Denisovan.

Abstract Synopsis

  • A new method for reconstructing skeletal morphology in extinct human groups, like Denisovans, is introduced based on DNA methylation patterns.
  • The technique showed an 85% accuracy in identifying distinct traits when tested on Neanderthal and chimpanzee skeletal features.
  • Applying this method to Denisovans, researchers suggest they likely had an elongated face and wide pelvis, along with unique traits like an increased dental arch, aligning with existing fossil evidence.
