Some evolutionists think they know what the face of a Denisovan looked like

Some evolutionists think that they have figured out how the Denisovans looked like. However, the book of Genesis says that we are all children of one mother, and she was not a Denisovan.

This is what New Scientist writes:

The Denisovans, a mysterious group of ancient humans originally identified purely from DNA, finally have a face.

Using molecular evidence, Qiaomei Fu at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing and her colleagues have confirmed what many researchers suspected: that a skull from China known as “dragon man” belonged to a Denisovan.

This fits with other evidence suggesting that the Denisovans were large and stocky. “I think we’re looking at individuals that are all [around] 100 kilos [of] lean body mass: enormous, enormous individuals,” says Bence Viola at the University of Toronto in Canada, who was not involved in the study.
