Or possibly Denisovans were a subspecies of h. juluensis.
Edit: So yes. It looks like some other fossils have been grouped in as well.
Importantly, we have assigned the enigmatic Denisova, along with the Xiahe and Penghu fossils, to H. juluensis based on comparative study of the present dentognathic remains. In all likelihood, given the recent observation that the Tam Ngu Hao 2 (Laos) tooth shares traits with Denisova1, this fossil should additionally be included in H. juluensis.
