Most of what is known about Denisovans comes from DNA evidence. While many recent fossils have been found and tentatively identified as Denisovan, the first Denisovans discovered were known from few physical remains. Consequently, no formal species name has been established. However, an analysis of the mitochond

They matter to our understanding of human evolution and prehistory because they represent a distinct branch of ancient humans whose existence and characteristics have only recently become known through scientific analysis.
