Ancient 146,000-year-old skull revealed as Denisovan, not new human species

A mysterious human skull was identified in the 1930s as an existing type after it was believed to be a new type together, according to researchers.

Studies-which were published in the Magazine and Science Cell-identified the 146,000 skull known as “Dragon Man” classified as Denisovan.

The researchers revealed that Denisov had been discovered by their genomics and proteins to determine their identity.

However, the reason why it took a long time to determine is that attempts to extract DNA from teeth failed.

The researchers also tried to extract DNA from Harbin Caraneum as well, which also failed.

When these methods failed, the researchers turned to the use of a differential dental calculation, which uses the calcified dental plate.

It can carry the leaked teeth and protect the DNA due to its dense crystal structure that resists the deterioration in different environments.

Samples were taken from the position to take samples of 0.3 mg from the calculus calculating and dental calculation on the fugitive teeth, where MTDNA was captured and sequence (the image presented by Qiaomei Fu via the magazine cell)

The researchers used bleaching on the teeth plate to eliminate any possible DNA in the modern era.

Once it was extracted, researchers began comparing the genetic material discovered with previous samples.

The researchers found that the “dragon man” was not a new type, but it was Denisovan and the first sound sample so far.

According to researchers, Denisovan coexisted with contemporary humans and is closely related to Anandal.

“Dragon Man” was discovered in mysterious circumstances when this found a Chinese worker working on a bridge over the Songhua River.

The man maintained a well -hidden hacker, as it was directed to hide it from the Japanese army.

The skull was briefly donated shortly before his death in 2018, after which his family moved the skull and gave it to the Geological Sciences Museum, Professor of Hebei Jiu Qiang J.

While there are restrictions on this study, the researchers said that there is still a lot to learn to move forward.

It was called “Dragon Man” because it was found in Heilongjiang County in China, which translated into Black Dragon River.
