An Incredible New Skull Is Forcing Us To Rethink The Evolution Of Early Humans

A 1.8-million-year-old skull combines a small braincase with a long face and large teeth, which is unlike any other Homo fossils on record.

Researchers have traditionally used differences among fossilized remains of ancient humans to define separate species among the earliest members of our Homo genus — Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and Homo rudolfensis, for example.

But an amazing new skull found in a republic of Georgia suggests that the specimens previously representing different species could come from a single, evolving lineage, according to a new report published in Science on Thursday, Oct. 17.

So-called "Skull 5" was dug up in Dmanisi, Georgia, between 2000 and 2005. It's believed to date back roughly 1.8 million years and comes from the same time period and location as four other skulls found earlier at Dmanisi.

Skull 5 is unique not only because it is the most complete Homo skull ever found, but it also looks very different from the other skulls found at this site. It combines a small braincase — about one-third the size of modern humans — with a large face that has a massive jaw and big teeth.

"This is a strange combination of features that we didn't know before in the early Homo," Marcia S. Ponce de León, from the Anthropological Institute and Museum in Switzerland, said in a media conference on Oct. 16.

BTW, “Lucy” was a concocted artifact, with missing bones reconstructed out of someone’s imagination and then pointed to as “evidence.”

It was just reported that Oregon now recognizes marriages between two Homo Liberalis.

Dang, beat me to it.

If we had a photo of the creature that ‘owned’ this skull it would look like a cross between the Clintons, the Obamas, and Neandrathals. Neandrathals, all...

I could expant this further...Jessie, Al, Maxine(Waters), John (Conyers)...add Eric (Holder) to this list...

Genetically equivalent...small brain, big mouth...

Note that the first seven or eight black members of Congress were all Republicans. They are not a part of this analogy...and they represented the people...all of us...

“Yeah, what we used to call the USSR is the source of all sorts of nutty stuff like that.”

A Harvard scientist has started searching for the woman, who would agree to give birth to a Neanderthal child. The woman will be used to test the abilities of modern science to clone a caveman.

Maybe it’s a 1.8 million year old bigfoot...kinda fits the description!

Even better Moses knew light existed before the creation of the sun moon and stars. It took science almost 6000 years to catch up and measure the cosmic background radiation.....

Ah, but what about the discovery of many elongated skulls in many diverse locations of the world. (See King Tut’s father)

King Tut and half of European men share DNA

I wonder what the DNA was for Dynasty 0.

But this isn't a slender assortment of bone fragments and the odd tooth.
