The authors of the paper that erects Homo longi for the Dragon Man specimen suggest that the Dragon Man specimen could be the same species as the mandible from Xianhe, Tibet, that Chen et al. (2019) identify as the first Denisovan specimen from China. Some scientists believe that the Homo longi holotype could be the first complete skull of the Denisovan, given that known Denisovan remains are fragmentary. Chen, F.; Welker, F.; Shen, C.-C.; et al. (2019). A late Middle Pleistocene Denisovan mandible from the Tibetan Plateau. Nature 569 (7756): 409–412. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoOrdo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Very interesting! Many scientists have until now believed that the development of modern humans simply came out of Africa in "the second wave", but it may be more complicated than that, not exactly a Darwinian evolutionary tree, but more like a like a river delta of interbreeding among species of Neandertals, Denisovans and ancient humans, and probably other unknown species.
