The Petralona skull & The 'Dragon Man' skull.
Good comparison! When you set the side by side like that, I can see the similarities and the differences. The supraorbital ridges are nearly the same, but the eye orbits and nasal aperture have different shapes, the cranial vault is lower and more keeled in the sagittal crest, and the cheek bones are higher in "Dragon Man". He also appears to have more prognathism in the maxillary area. Altogether, Petralona looks to me like it may have descended fro Dragon Man, i.e. that Dragon Man is an older ancestor of Petralona.
But what do I know? I ain't any kind of anthropologist!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
