New site? Maybe some day.

The conventional view of human evolution and how early man colonised the world has been thrown into doubt by a series of stunning palaeontological discoveries suggesting that Africa was not the sole cradle of humankind.
Scientists have found a handful of ancient human skulls at an archaeological site two hours from the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, that suggest a Eurasian chapter in the long evolutionary story of man.

Why hello there Conservationist! |

"The skulls, jawbones and fragments of limb bones suggest that our ancient human ancestors migrated out of Africa far earlier than previously thought and spent a long evolutionary interlude in Eurasia – before moving back into Africa to complete the story of man."
"The Dmanisi hominins are the earliest representatives of our own genus – Homo – outside Africa, and they represent the most primitive population of the species Homo erectus to date. They might be ancestral to all later Homo erectus populations, which would suggest a Eurasian origin of Homo erectus."
Some of the population migrated back to Africa to give rise to H. sapiens. Very interesting to speculate why they did and what happened to the Dmanisi population. That area has plenty of resources, they weren't following a herd.
Still no evidence that you're a different species than blacks, sorry Conservationist! |

ooooo, homo georgicanus, aaaaaaaah
this is a subspecies of homo erectus at best, and is currently even more indistinguishable than neandertals in terms of effect on human evolution
on top of being super old news... |

Without homos, we'd still be monkeys.
Thank God for Children of Bodom! |
