Protein sequencing recently confirmed Denisovan bones found 15 years ago — these hominins stood 6 to 8 inches taller than contemporary humans. Modified Native American skulls near the Cascades resemble Denisovan and Neanderthal morphology, and Dr. Dandrau documented a 7'2" skeleton in 1959, with bias from Ales Hrdlicka long shaping dismissals of such finds.
Denisovan bones, elongated skulls, and ancient giant skeletonsgiants
Key facts
- Protein sequencing confirmed Denisovan bones found about 15 years prior
- Denisovans were 6 to 8 inches taller than contemporary humans
- Some artificially modified Native American skulls near the Cascades resembled Denisovan and Neanderthal skulls
- Skeletons between 6'6" and 8 feet tall have been found in the Americas
- Dr. Dandrau of the Carnegie Museum found a 7-foot-2-inch Native American skeleton in a mound in 1959
- Alleged debunking of giant skeletons traces back to Ales Hrdlicka, whose bias-driven work influenced the field for nearly 100 years
