Revolutionary Identification of 146,000-Year-Old ‘Dragon Man’ Skull as Denisovan
Researchers have successfully identified the ‘dragon man’ skull, discovered in the 1930s, as a Denisovan. DNA extraction attempts failed, but the use of dental calculus allowed for the identification. This discovery provides new insights into Denisovans, a human species that coexisted with modern humans and Neanderthans.
