Researchers used advanced digital reconstruction techniques on a 1-million-year-old skull found in China, revealing it belongs to Homo longi, a lineage related to modern humans, potentially pushing back the timeline of human origins.
A crushed skull found in China, dated to about 1 million years ago, has been digitally reconstructed and suggests that early Denisovans and related human lineages appeared much earlier than previously thought, potentially reshaping the timeline of human evolution and indicating that modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans diverged over a million years ago.

A reanalysis of a 1-million-year-old skull from China suggests it may belong to Homo longi, indicating that modern human origins could be much older and outside Africa, potentially reshaping our understanding of human evolutionary history.
This week in science, the mysterious 'Dragon Man' skull has been classified, potentially as a Denisovan, and new studies are shedding light on the universe's 'missing' matter using fast radio bursts. Additionally, research suggests psilocybin can provide long-term relief from depression, and advanced AI models may produce significantly higher carbon emissions. Other highlights include volcanic eruptions in Indonesia and concerns over groundwater depletion in the Colorado River basin.
Scientists have identified the 'Dragon Man' skull from Harbin as belonging to the Denisovans, an extinct human species, using advanced DNA analysis from dental plaque, shedding new light on human evolution and the species' appearance.
A 146,000-year-old skull known as 'Dragon Man' has been reclassified from a new species, Homo longi, to a Denisovan, based on protein and mitochondrial DNA analysis, making it the first complete Denisovan skull and providing new insights into ancient human relatives.
Scientists have identified a skull found in China as belonging to a Denisovan, making it the only known complete Denisovan skull and providing new insights into ancient human species and their distribution across East Asia.
Recent DNA and proteome analyses have confirmed that the 'Dragon Man' skull from China is actually from a Denisovan, an ancient human relative, reshaping our understanding of human evolution in Asia and providing the most complete fossil evidence of Denisovans to date.
Scientists have linked the elusive Denisovan group to the Homo longi species, represented by the 150,000-year-old "Dragon man" fossil found in China. Evidence of Denisovan DNA in modern populations, including Tibetans, suggests their interbreeding with Homo sapiens and potential role in human evolution. The diverse habitats occupied by Denisovans raise questions about their adaptive behavior compared to Neanderthals, while DNA analyses indicate complex interactions and coexistence with modern humans and Neanderthals.
A Brazilian anthropologist has reconstructed the face of the archaic human species Homo longi, also known as Dragon man, using a well-preserved skull discovered in northeastern China in the 1930s. The species, identified from a nearly complete skull dated to 148,000 years ago, is an extinct species of the genus Homo that lived in Asia during the Middle Pleistocene. The facial approximation was made using computed tomography scans and forensic facial reconstruction techniques, providing valuable insights into the appearance of this ancient human species.
