Scientists have reconstructed the face of a long-lost human ancestor that may have played a critical role in our evolution. They used the Harbin skull, also known as ‘Dragon Man,’ which is a 150,000-year-old nearly complete human skull discovered in China in 1933. Paleoartist John Gurche utilized fossils and genetic data from the extinct species to recreate plastic replicas of remains.
