Denisovans are an extinct group of humans whose morphology remains unknown. The reviewed paper uses DNA methylation patterns to reconstruct skeletal morphology of Denisovans. Denisovans likely shared with Neanderthals traits such as an elongated face and a wide pelvis. They also identify Denisovan-derived changes, such as an increased dental arch and lateral cranial expansion.
