I've been looking for a while for confirmation that Denisovans were giants, but the scientific community has not been vocal about that. I wondered why. Now it seems they just can't handle it, so they downplay it.
Denisovans, as is also known from genome comparisons with living Tibetans, seemed to have low oxygen requirements. This, their large size, and evidence of them in Siberia, China, Oceania/Polynesia, would likely indicate that they were far more aquatic
than our own ancestors. They may have been oceanic swimmers and deep water divers maybe with seafaring /boat building knowhow.

I personally don't see this "Denisovan" model working. Not one bit.
I mean, they were one & the same population as Neanderthals and
then split some more, with Denisovan groups as distantly related to
each other as they were from Neanderthals.
Not a good model.
No, looks more like interbreeding than adapting to a unique
evolutionary path.
AND, I keep pointing this out while NOBODY acknowledges it, even
though it's a fact: Many finds that were labelled "Erectus" in the
past had to be Denisovan.
Paleo anthropology is in love with the diversity of Africa, but for
some reason is tries to enforce this insane homogeny in Asia that
we simultaneously all know isn't true.
We're looking at a quilt here and they're pretending it's a monotone
wall.
