Dragon Man: Gigantic skull from China forces scientists to rewrite the story of human evolution

The skull, which is 23cm long and more than 15cm wide, is substantially larger than a modern human’s

Let's see now.

23cm = 230mm

There are 25.4mm in 1 inch

Length of skull in inches = 230mm/25.4mm = 9.06 inches... This basically correlates to an XL hat size.

[Kommodor]

Odd, I don’t know if I’ve ever actually watched that movie. Poor Mr. Connery. I’ve seen enough screenshots like this to give me the “cannot be unseen” effect, but ... Yeah.

It’s probably terrible, but curiosity.

Curiosity would probably kill my few remaining brain cells.

I hope it turns out to be a Denisovan.

[Skywise]

I’ll tell you now… it’s fake.

Aras, poor Yolick.

I bought a 3-xl back brace from China and need 10 more inches of strap to connect, fits a 38” waist.

What are those small holes to the left and right side of the nose?

Channels for blood vessels, probably.

[gundog]

Foramina. They accomodate blood vessels and nerves. The big hole that the spinal cord enters/exits the cranium through is the foramen magnum.

[Bigg Red]

Holes: We have them, too, but ours aren’t so large. Each one is an infraorbital foramen, In an opening in the maxillary bone of the skull that permits the passage of the infraorbital artery and the infraorbital vein,along with a nerve branch.

[Mr. Blond]

One day in the future, paleontologists will dig up Shaq’s bones. But they’ll be smart enough not to think that they discovered a new race of giants.

[lurk]

So we have solved the mystery of where that Samoan guy went after the BBQ.

[bwest]

Zardoz is kinda bad but not terrible. Connery’s “costume” is one of a kind, though.

[Reily]

This is just one specimen? If just one sample how do they know the sample is representative and not pathological? What if way way in the future some paleoanthropologist digs up the late Andre the Giant? Nice guy I hear but hardly representative !

Nephilim skull

[FrankRizzo890]

I’d like to know how it would compare to Andre the Giant’s skull. If it’s not bigger, I think it only proves that gigantism has been around for a very long time.

[momincombatboots]

Cracks me up. The geonome and evolution are mathematically incongruent. Thus the new math. Not as funny as an evolutionist who fears death though.
