Abstract
The Harbin cranium, linked to Denisovans via mitochondrial DNA, broadens their known range and provides the first insights into Denisovan morphology. This discovery highlights the potential of biomolecular analysis from nontraditional sources, enhancing understanding of archaic human evolution in Asia and filling gaps in the scarce Denisovan fossil record.
