150,000 years ago, mysterious “Dragon Men” with massive skulls, square eye sockets, and huge teeth roamed the icy forests of northern China. But they didn’t get their name from fire-breathing legends — it came from the Black Dragon River, where the first skull was found… and hidden in a well for decades.
When scientists finally studied it, they were stunned: this ancient skull had features that don’t belong together — like a mix of ancient humans and something entirely different. What does this mean for our origins?
Watch now to uncover the chilling story of Dragon Man — and why it could rewrite human history.
