Rare fossils reveal what ancient Denisovans may have looked like

Protein analysis of skull and jaw fragments from China's Xujiayao site identified them as Denisovan, based on a collagen variant found in Denisovans but not Neanderthals or modern humans. The fossils suggest Denisovans had low, flat skulls with thick bones and prominent brow ridges, and were widespread across East Asia.
