Denisovans didn't have fur, and their size has been greatly exaggerated.

No one knows their size or if they had fur. We just know the few bone fragments we do have are much larger than their corresponding human bone fragments.

I've seen recent stuff suggesting they were smaller than sapiens. Ok show it. Everything I've seen has suggested bigger. Like juvenile female teeth considerably bigger than adult male human teeth, a finger bone much larger than the corresponding human finger bone and the curve on skull fragment suggesting a much bigger skull. Unfortunately remains are scant, so if you have new info I'd love to have it. |

Unfortunately remains are scant, so if you have new info I'd love to have it. I can't find it, but based on this study, denisovans had larger heads and teeth proportionally. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867419309547![This graphic shows that.]() There was also claims that Denisovan bones were indistiguishable from those of modern humans. The pictures showing denisovan skulls as much larger may be because Early sapiens were so small. In that case they would be about the same as modern humans. As for fur, we found they had dark hair based on gene analysis. They were very closely related to modern humans, so fur seems unlikely. They also were definitely capable of making clothes, as even their distant ancestor, the Heidelberg man, did. They would also have had to re-evolve fur, since we know it was lost before that point. |
