Dragon Man: Long Lost Lineage or Just Another Skull?

There is a field of study named 'Anthropology' which means the study of humans and what makes us a human. If a human is analyzed then we will get to know that some common features existed between the Homo sapiens and in all the other species connected to us. 

To understand the behaviour of a particular species, one has to bifurcate the features of different species and then focus on an area of study. When we analyze Homo sapiens particularly, then the outcome will come with a complex and specialized approach because it is the smartest species all around the universe.

Previously it was assumed that the immediate successor of Homo sapiens were the Neanderthals but recently a skull was found in the Longi province of China near the dragon river and it is believed that the skull is double in size when it is compared with Homo sapiens’ skull. But the behavioural aspects of that identified skull are assumed to be partially different from us.

So according to the rules of anthropology, this concept should be researched by Paleo-Anthropologists who are responsible for researching the anthropological concepts which are more than 11400 years old.

The last Neanderthal was active on planet Earth 40000 years ago, and this dragon-man species which is officially named Homo longi was found between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. So, if research proved to be positive then it will be confirmed that our immediate ancestor was not a Neanderthal rather it was that Homo longi or Dragon Man.

Evolution of Mankind

Evolution is the process of continuous change, and adapting those changes is the ability or skill, which needs to be learned timely. As we all know that our ancestors were apes, and it was proved that the current day Gorillas and Chimpanzees are the successors of the same ancestor to whom Homo sapiens are linked with.

There are several chains of evolution, some of them are diverted towards Gorillas and Chimpanzees, and many of them helped humans to grow and evolved as Homo sapiens. This evolution is not an event rather it is a slow and rigorous process initiated with the process of reproduction. Continuous breeding of a particular species leads to some changes in the DNA of that species which later becomes the cause of behavioural changes in human civilization.

With each breeding, the baby will get characteristics of both male and female, and if this process is continued, then the day will come when his far successors will be different personalities if compared with himself. These continuous changes in DNA are strongly affected by the environment and surroundings that a particular person is facing.

That is the reason why the newest generations of Homo sapiens are becoming physically weaker than the previous ones. There is some misconception that how previous species have become extinct. The factors that came up are related to the behaviour and the intelligence of the newer species. Some natural factors made them extinct but also the biggest factor is the supremacy and sovereignty of that newer clever species. 

History of The Skull

We are living in the Holocene Anthropological period where all the new generations of the Homo sapiens are living, but this creature of the Homo longi group most probably belongs to the Pleistocene group. The creatures who were living in this group are most probably from an era before the stone age. This name is derived from the paleo word which means something too old.

It is a well-known fact that if you want to understand the traits of anyone then you must observe their behaviour. So, when this skull was found 80 years ago during World War 2 by a group of Chinese archaeologists, they didn't reveal that because of the fear of Japanese cruelty, but now Japan is nowhere close to China and China has its dominance and hegemony in the Eastern World. 

Now, after around 80 years China revealed that they found a mysterious skull in their Longi province. They are in the process of approving it as a skull of international importance. They have started their research on it and have provided their initial findings to the specialists. This skull is 146000 years old.

It was founded near Songhua River which is also known as Dragon River because of its extreme course. Similar news came up by the researchers working in Israel, who said that they have identified an unknown kind of ancient human which is believed to be called "Nesher Ramla Homo". They are said to be the contemporary of Homo sapiens and probably got killed by Homo sapiens because they were extremely advanced than them. 

Conclusion

The dimensions of this skull are 8.7 inches in length and 6.5 inches in breadth, and with an occipital length of 8.4 inches. This proved to be a skull of double the size of Homo sapiens. This is the effect of the rigorous evolution that has taken place slowly over many years. It is not an event rather it is a process that requires millions of years. 

Many factors affect the process of evolution and create the distinction between a modern human and a caveman. Major factors of evolution are structural changes in genes by the influence of adulterated hormones. Changing environment is also one of the major factors but the most important factor of evolution is the emotions and behaviour which guides the future about the demand of the previous generations.

There is nothing that can be developed by ignoring the evolution process. The skull of this dragon-man must have gone through the process of the grinding evolution. If this theory of immediate ancestor resulted in confirming this Homo longi to be the Homo sapiens’ immediate ancestor then this will initiate the concept of recreation of history and we need to develop a new approach to observe the world.
