Did they keep themselves down by the river?
‘Denisovan Origins’ by Andrew Collins and Gregory Little ftw....among a few other books dealing with the subject of Denisovans, Solutreans etc.
With faces like that, I can see why interbreeding might have been difficult.
Maybe they had ‘artificial insemination’ way back then!.............
I thought they didn’t have anything more than a solitary tooth as evidence that Denisovans existed.
The results of the study showed no evidence of interbreeding. Nevertheless, the team were able to confirm previous results showing high levels of Denisovan ancestry in the region.

contradictory sentences - study pertains only to the region around Island Southeast Asia. Also misleading as many living today have Denisovan DNA like several Canadian Indian tribes - Ojibwa for one.
From what I’ve read of the types of genes (cold and high altitude adaptions) they left in us and from oral traditions, they likely lived in cold high places like mountains; were adverse to living other places because they revered the environment and did not wish to harm it by their presence; disliked other varieties of humans; were muscular and very tall perhaps greater the 8 feet on average.
Anthropologists are looking in the wrong places for Denisovans possibly.
The Denisovans are responsible for breaking up Pangaea. I loved that band.
