Amazing just what they can deduce from fossil fragments, isn’t it?
They can probably even determine their names and political affiliations!

Thanks Ernest. Covered Here Too:
Stranger In A New Land
Image: JOHN GURCHE PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER With a brain half the size of a modern one and a brow reminiscent of Homo habilis, this hominid is one of the most primitive members of our genus on record. Paleoartist John Gurche reconstructed this 1.75-million-year-old explorer from a nearly complete teenage H. erectus skull and associated mandible found in Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. The background figures derive from two partial crania recovered at the site.

The Dmanisi fossils are no doubt the earliest hominid fossils in EuropeI was taught that the Caucasus is the boundary between Europe and Asia. If this is correct, Georgia is in Asia.

BTW, the archaeologist who unearthed the ‘Hobbits’ on the Indonesian Island of Flores compares some of the fossil features to these Georgia skeletons closer to those of the Hobbits than all other humans.

Why they left Africa remains a mystery.Why it is assumed that they must have originated in Africa is the deeper mystery.
The evolution of the earth has been a dynamic process, with at least seven supercontinents which have been determined. When, in this billions-of-years process man emerged is still unknown. The best we can do is say that the oldest (presumed) human ancestors discovered to date were found in Africa's rift valley.
That is not the same as saying that man's ancestors definitely originated there. Early American cultures have played musical chairs as to origins for at least 30,000 years.
Assumed theories are discarded and new ones created all the time.
If the actual origin of man has long disappeared into a subduction zone, the question may never be answered.

So how do we know they were “hominid” and not just some kind of ape or monkey?

That’s what I thought too. However, I was also taught that turkey is a grey area, neither asia nor europe, and called “asia minor”. So if turkey is the netherworld(hehe), so to speak, and the caucasus mountains are the edge of europe, then what does that make the little strip of land inbetween europe and the netherworld? I guess it’s the nethernetherworld? So georgia is inbetween nothing and europe. I guess you could call it whatever you want.

All of these things (hominids) are monkeys and they’re not related to us in any way, shape, or manner.
