In 1933, a worker at a bridge construction site in the Chinese city of Harbin dug up a skull. It’s existence was unknown to the outside world until recently when the worker’s family donated it to the Hebel Geo University for study. Back when it was discovered, in order to keep it from falling into the hands of the occupying Japanese army, the bridge worker hid it in a well. Apparently, this skull turns out to be one of the most complete human cranial fossils in the world, and has become the focus of a certain amount of controversy among paleontologists. The skull has since been dubbed “Dragon Man.”
Scientists have dated the skull and claim that it is 146,000 years old or older. They claim that Dragon Man lived in the era of wooly mammoths – a time when human species were on the move.
There is, however, a certain amount of controversy and dissension among evolutionary paleontologists about this skull. (Click here to continue reading.)
