Amanda Nottke wrote in The Intersection, Identification of an Unknown Fossil Hominid Through DNA Sequencing.
"These sequencing experiments have contributed much to our understanding of recent evolution, but until now they have been used as a support to the overwhelming fossil evidence, as opposed to a primary determinant of species identification. However, a discovery reported recently in the journal Nature is the first (to my knowledge) suggestion of a previously unknown species based only on their DNA. Even more fascinating, this species was a hominin, meaning part of the human family tree"
