Denisova 3 finger phalanx: photograph
Denisova 3 finger phalanx: photograph
The tip of a girl's little finger. Its genome defined the Denisovans before any skeleton had a face; every later identification is measured against it. Holder to be confirmed from Krause et al. 2010 or the Denisova Cave project; the Commons photograph in media.yaml shows a museum replica.
