Years ago I used to do a lot of Project Management and I needed a planner to write specs and deal with vendors. I had a good guy but he pissed off upper management and they tossed him.
They hired a clown who wrote like the author of this piece and I fired him because no one knew what the hell he was talking about. Clear and concise is the name of the game.
"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."
Why so many old finds in Georgia? I suppose it would be a good transit point for travelers into and out of the Steppes to the north, Mesopotamia to the south, Anatolia and Persia. Or is it favorable geology for finding specimens that old?
