crâne de l’" Homme dragon" a été retrouvé au début des années 1930, peu avant l’invasion japonaise dans le nord-est de la Chine. Chris Stringer, paléoanthropologue au musée d’histoire naturelle de Londres, a indiqué que la taille du crâne était inhabituelle, puisqu’il est énorme. Une étude publiée dans la revue The Innovation a soutenu que ce trésor appartient à une nouvelle espèce humaine, de l’Homo longi ou "l’" Homme dragon". Deux autres études ont révélé ...

‘Dragon Man’: New human species is our closest ancestor By AFP - Jun 30,2021 - Last updated at Jun 30,2021 Reconstruction of ‘Dragon Man’, Homo longi, in his habitat (AFP photo) WASHINGTON — A skull preserved almost perfectly for more than 140,000 years in northeastern China represents a new species of ancient people more closely related to us than even Neanderthals — and could fundamentally alter our understanding of human evolution, scientists recently announced. It belonged to a...

CHUANG ZHAO/AFP The world has taken a critical step toward figuring out the origin and evolution of Homo sapiens, the species all living humans belong to, with Chinese researchers announcing the discovery of a new species of ancient human they have dubbed "dragon man...

The skull could add a whole new branch to the human family tree. By Chelsea SteinerJun 27th, 2021, 2:38 pm An ancient skull, long hidden in the bottom of a well, could be the key to unlocking a whole new chapter of human evolution. Researchers believe they have discovered a new species, dubbed “Dragon Man”, based on a well preserved skull found in Harbin, China in 1933. The skull is believed to be a closer evolutionary relative to Homo sapiens than the Neanderthals, creating the new class...

Stringers team nicknamed this new hominin species "Dragon Man," after the province where it was found: Heilongjiang, which translates to "dragon river."
