An enigmatic skull recovered from the bottom of a well in northeastern China in 2018 sparked intrigue when it didn\u2019t match any previously known species of prehistoric human. Now, scientists say they have found evidence of where the fossil fits, and it could be a key piece in another cryptic evolutionary puzzle.<\/p>\n

After several failed attempts, the researchers managed to extract genetic material from the fossilized cranium \u2014\u00a0nicknamed Dragon Man\u00a0\u2014 linking it to an enigmatic group of early humans known as\u00a0Denisovans<\/a>. A dozen or so Denisovan fossilized bone fragments had previously been found and\u00a0identified<\/a>\u00a0using ancient DNA. But the specimens\u2019 small size offered little idea of what this shadowy population of ancient hominins looked like, and the group has never been assigned an official scientific name.<\/p>\n

Scientists typically consider skulls, with telltale bumps and ridges, the best type of fossilized remains to understand the form or appearance of an extinct hominin species. The new findings, if confirmed, could effectively put a face to the Denisovan name.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI really feel that we have cleared up some of the mystery surrounding this population,\u201d said Qiaomei Fu, a professor at the Institute of Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and lead author of the new research. \u201cAfter 15 years, we know the first Denisovan skull.\u201d<\/p>\n

Denisovans were first discovered in 2010 by a team that included Fu \u2014 who was then a young researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany \u2014 from ancient DNA contained in a pinkie fossil found in Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Russia. Additional remains unearthed in the cave, from which the group gets its name, and elsewhere in Asia continue to add to the still-incomplete picture.<\/p>\n

The new research, described in two scientific papers published Wednesday, is \u201cdefinitely going to be among, if not the, biggest paleoanthropology papers of the year,\u201d and will spur debate in the field \u201cfor quite some time,\u201d said Ryan McRae, a paleoanthropologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, who was not involved in the studies.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The findings could help fill in gaps about a time when Homo sapiens weren\u2019t the only humans roaming the planet \u2014 and teach scientists more about modern humans. Our species once coexisted for tens of thousands of years and interbred with both Denisovans and Neanderthals before the two went extinct. Most humans today carry a\u00a0genetic legacy of those ancient encounters. Neanderthal fossils have been the subject of study for than a century, but scant details are known about our mysterious Denisovan cousins, and a skull fossil can reveal a great deal.<\/p>\n

Long in the tooth<\/h2>\n

A laborer in the city of Harbin in northeastern China discovered the Dragon Man skull in 1933. The man, who was constructing a bridge over the Songhua River when that part of the country was under Japanese occupation, took home the specimen and stored it at the bottom of a well for safekeeping.<\/p>\n

The man never retrieved his treasure, and the cranium, with one tooth still attached in the upper jaw, remained unknown to science for decades until his relatives learned about it before his death. His family donated the fossil to Hebei GEO University, and researchers first described it in a set of\u00a0studies published in 2021 that found<\/a>\u00a0the skull to be at least 146,000 years old.<\/p>\n

The researchers argued that the fossil merited a new species name given the unique nature of the skull, naming it Homo longi \u2014 which is derived from Heilongjiang, or Black Dragon River, the province where the cranium was found. Some experts at the time hypothesized that the skull might be Denisovan, while others have lumped the cranium in with a\u00a0cache of difficult-to-classify fossils<\/a>\u00a0found in China, resulting in intense debate and making molecular data from the fossil particularly valuable.<\/p>\n

Given the skull\u2019s age and backstory, Fu said she knew it would be challenging to extract ancient DNA from the fossil to better understand where it fit in the human family tree. \u201cThere are only bones from 4 sites over 100,000 (years old) in the world that have ancient DNA,\u201d she noted via email.<\/p>\n

Fu and her colleagues attempted to retrieve ancient DNA from six samples taken from Dragon Man\u2019s surviving tooth and the cranium\u2019s petrous bone, a dense piece at the base of the skull that\u2019s often a rich source of DNA in fossils, without success.<\/p>\n

The team also tried to retrieve genetic material from the skull\u2019s dental calculus \u2014 the gunk left on teeth that can over time form a hard layer and preserve DNA from the mouth. From this process, the researchers managed to recover mitochondrial DNA, which is less detailed than nuclear DNA but revealed a link between the sample and the known Denisovan genome, according to one new paper published in the\u00a0journal Cell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitochondrial DNA is only a small portion of the total genome but can tell us a lot. The limitations lie in its relatively small size compared to nuclear DNA and in the fact that it is only inherited from the matrilineal side, not both biological parents,\u201d McRae said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, without nuclear DNA a case could be made that this individual is a hybrid with a Denisovan mother, but I think that scenario is rather less likely than this fossil belonging to a full Denisovan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mounting evidence<\/h2>\n

The team additionally recovered protein fragments from the petrous bone samples, the analysis of which also suggested the Dragon Man skull belonged to a Denisovan population, according to a separate paper published Wednesday in the\u00a0journal Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Together, \u201cthese papers increase the impact of establishing the Harbin cranium as a Denisovan,\u201d Fu said.<\/p>\n

The molecular data provided by the two papers is potentially very important, said anthropologist Chris Stringer, research leader in human origins at London\u2019s Natural History Museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been collaborating with Chinese scientists on new morphological analyses of human fossils, including Harbin,\u201d he said. \u201cCombined with our studies, this work makes it increasingly likely that Harbin is the most complete fossil of a Denisovan found so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Xijun Ni, a professor at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing who, along with Stringer, worked on the initial Dragon Man research but not the latest studies, said that he is cautious about the outcome of the two papers because some of the DNA extraction methods used were \u201cexperimental.\u201d Ni also said he finds it strange that DNA was obtained from surface dental calculus but not inside the tooth and petrous bone, given that the calculus appeared to be more exposed to potential contamination.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, he added that he thinks it is likely the skull and other fossils identified as Denisovan are from the same human species.<\/p>\n

The goal in using a new extraction approach was to recover as much genetic material as possible, Fu explained, adding that the dense crystalline structure of dental calculus may help prevent the host DNA from being lost.<\/p>\n

The protein signatures Fu and her team recovered indicated \u201ca Denisovan attribution, with other attributions very unlikely,\u201d said Frido Welker, an associate professor of biomolecular paleoanthropology at the University of Copenhagen\u2019s Globe Institute in Denmark. Welker has recovered Denisovan proteins from other candidate fossils but was not involved in this research.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Harbin cranium now linked to Denisovans based on molecular evidence, a larger portion of the hominin fossil record can be compared reliably to a known Denisovan specimen based on morphology,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A name and a face for Denisovans<\/h2>\n

With the Dragon Man skull now linked to Denisovans based on molecular evidence, it will be easier for paleoanthropologists to classify other potential Denisovan remains from China and elsewhere. McRae, Ni and Stringer all said they thought it was likely that Homo longi would become the official species name for Denisovans, although other names have been proposed.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenaming the entire suite of Denisovan evidence as Homo longi is a bit of a step, but one that has good standing since the scientific name Homo longi was technically the first to be, now, tied to Denisovan fossils,\u201d McRae said. However, he added that he doubts the informal name of Denisovan is going anywhere anytime soon, suggesting it might become shorthand for the species, as Neanderthal is to Homo neanderthalensis.<\/p>\n

The findings also make it possible to say a little more about what Denisovans might have looked like, assuming the Dragon Man skull belonged to a typical individual. According to McRae, the ancient human would have had very strong brow ridges, brains \u201con par in size to Neanderthals and modern humans\u201d but larger teeth than both cousins. Overall, Denisovans would have had a blocky and robust-looking appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with the famous image of a Neanderthal dressed in modern attire, they would most likely still be recognizable as \u2018human,\u2019\u201d McRae said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are still our more mysterious cousin, just slightly less so than before,\u201d he added. \u201cThere is still a lot of work to be done to figure out exactly who the Denisovans were and how they are related to us and other hominins.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
