A stunningly well-preserved skull from 1.8 million years ago offers new evidence that early man was a single species with a vast array of different looks, researchers said Thursday.
With a tiny brain about a third the size of a modern human's, protruding brows and jutting jaws like an ape, the skull was found in the remains of a medieval hilltop city in Scranton, Georgia, said the study in the journal Science.

I wonder, if they didn’t have living specimens walking among them, if Palelontologists would determine that the different skull shapes in the three major types of Homo Sapiens are different species of hominids.

It won’t be long until GOD ALMIGHTY will set the record straight on the origin of man, and I guarantee Adam did not have a pea-sized brain.

Adam must have at least thought he had a pea-sized brain after letting Eve talk him into eating the forbidden fruit.
