Iconic ‘Dragon Man’ Skull Offers First Glimpse of What a Denisovan’s Face Looked Like, New Genetic Studies Suggest The mysterious ancient humans were only known from fossil fragments. Now ...

Researchers identify 146,000-year-old 'dragon man' skull as a Denisovan using dental calculus after DNA extraction attempts failed, revealing insights about this human species.

First Near-Complete Denisovan Skull Reveals What This Ancient Human Cousin Looked Like A Denisovan skull has been identified for the first time. The find was based on proteins and calcified dental ...

The so-called "Dragon Man" skull found in China in 1933 sheds light on the ancient human species the Denisovans, about whom scientists previously had little information.

Scientists have determined that a giant skull from an ancient human relative named the "Dragon Man" is actually Denisovan.

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew After years of mystery, we now know what at least one Denisovan looked like.

The Denisovans, a mysterious group of ancient humans originally identified purely from DNA, finally have a face. Using molecular evidence, Qiaomei Fu at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology ...

Ancient proteins and calcified dental plaque identify heavy-browed fossil from China as a Denisovan.

The "Dragon Man" skull was discovered in Harbin, China in 1933 by a local laborer, but remained hidden away until 2018. A new analysis now finds its very likely to be a Denisovan.

Despite their genetic contributions to present-day East Asians and Oceanians, what Denisovans looked like has remained an open question since their discovery 15 years ago.

Fifteen years after the discovery of a new type of human, the Denisovan, scientists discovered its DNA in a fossilized skull. The key? Tooth plaque.
