Today, we know that the Denisovans slip right in between Neanderthals and us humans. Modern research suggests they had dark, tan skin, with eyes and hair like us, but Neanderthal-like bodies and facial structure. Interestingly, they had larger molars, like Australopithecus. They truly were a mixed bag!
Of course, after discovering the existence of the Denisovans, scientists did not believe much else could be found in Denisova Cave. After all, how likely is it to strike historical lightning twice in the same place? However, when scientist Viviane Slon started working with the arm bone fragments from the cave, she realized there was still much to uncover.
