Dragon Man: New human species is our closest ancestor %%sep%% %%sitename%%

A skull, preserved almost perfectly over 140,000 years, was found at Harbin, north-east China, in 1933 and only recently came to the attention of scientists. The ancient skull is said to belong to a completely new species of human and has been nicknamed Homo Longi or "Dragon Man" as a reference to the region where it was discovered. It is claimed &nbsp;as our closest evolutionary relative among known species of ancient human, even more so than Neanderthals. The Dragon Man's skull is huge, with a brain size about the same as the average for our species (Homo Sapiens).
