中国科学家重建丹尼索瓦人的面貌
Good to see you after all this time. Chinese scientists put a face to the Denisovans
中国科学家依据在泥河湾盆地许家窑遗址出土的化石，重建了丹尼索瓦人的面貌。研究人员还确认，这批古人类遗骸属于丹尼索瓦人谱系；此前人们对这一古人类的认识主要来自 DNA 证据和零散化石。
Chinese scientists have finally put a face to the Denisovans, a mysterious species of ancient humans who were previously known only through the evidence of their DNA and fossil fragments.
The hominids were thought to have lived in parts of Siberia and East and Southeast Asia thousands of years ago.
The work of reconstructing their face was based on fossils excavated from Xujiayao, a major archaeological site in northern China’s Nihewan Basin, between 1976 and 1979.
Scientists also confirmed that the collection of ancient human remains belonged to the Denisovan lineage, allowing them to reconstruct what they looked like.
