Homo longi (Meaning "Man from Longjiang"), also called the Dragon Man, and the Harbin cranium is a species of extinct human.[1] The skull was found in China. It has been theorized that the skull belongs to a Denisovan, another type of extinct human, but this theory cannot be proven without genetic testing.

Anatomy

The skull tells us that H. longi had a wide face, and a long skull. The skull, also tells us that H. longi had a large mouth and nose.[2] H. longi had a large brain, similar to modern humans and neanderthals.
