Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests supported it: four pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Molecular data from these crania carry Denisovan-specific variants.
- They share a consistent suite of cranial traits with the molecularly confirmed jaws (Xiahe, Penghu).
What would rule it out
- Proteins or DNA from Harbin or Xujiayao lacking Denisovan variants, or grouping with Neanderthals or H. sapiens.
