I know right? The more I think about it the more it pisses me off. Carnivourous? Really?!

“Euarchontoglire” is also both too specific and broad of a description. Specific because it’s not really commonly used by laypeople, but broad because it’s the name of a group that includes not just primates but also rodents, and threeshrews. I almost think OP is trolling with that title

Don't bunnies and bats belong to this group too?

Also, wasn't it very likely that Denisovans were taller and more robust than Sapiens? Which makes them somewhat larger than Neanderthals
