His name is 'Dragon Man'. But he is not a superhuman. In fact, it is the newly discovered new species of primitive man, Homo longi. Although this prehistoric skull has been in a museum in China since 1933. This skull was found in Northeast China in the third decade of the last century. Yet scientists have only recently discovered that the human skull is closely related to today's Homo sapiens.
Neanderthals have long been considered the closest ancestor of modern humans. But this time it is thought that Homo longi is closer than that. Observations of that prehistoric skull have shown that its brain is smaller than that of modern humans but larger than that of other primitive human species. It is understood that they have square eyes, thick eyebrows, wide mouth and teeth larger than their mouth.
Scientists estimate that the skull, which is about 148,000 years old, belonged to a 50-year-old man. They used to go around in small groups. It is believed that these Homo longis lived in a hostile environment. They originally lived in Asia. They were shore dwellers. Their appearance is quite strong and long in shape. Research on Dragon Man is still ongoing. It is thought that in the near future, anthropologists will be able to understand human evolution in a new way.
Meanwhile, archeological excavations in the ruins of Israel have recently found bones and skulls. These are thought to be approximately 140,000 years old. According to experts after the experiment, these structures are slightly different from Neanderthals or Homo sapiens. It is also thought to be the fossil of a new human species.
