I presume that some of Denisovan man's features could be guessed at by looking at unusual features of Australian aboriginals. For example, the cartilage bridge in the nose

This is so amazing. I cannot get over how many years we have been taught a basic family tree of our ancient ancestors. Science again has brought to light amazing discoveries.

We are a mobile, and therefore heavily interbred, species. At different points, distinct variations left Africa and adapted to live elsewhere, but then later waves of emigrating humans intermingled.
The most surprising thing to me, is that East Africans are less similar in their genes to West Africans than they are to Europeans and Asians.
