Dmanisi is the site of a medieval village located about 85 km (53 miles) southwest of Tbilisi on a promontory at the confluence of the Mashavera and Phinezauri rivers. Archaeological exploration of the ruins began in the 1930s, but systematic excavations were not undertaken until the 1980s. Shortly thereafter it became apparent that pits or cellars dating from medieval times had been dug into deposits containing prehistoric animal bones. In addition to the jawbone found in 1991, two skulls were recovered in 1999 exhibiting the relatively small brains, flat foreheads, and low cranial profiles characteristic of H. erectus. Indeed, the fossils are close in their morphology to similarly aged specimens from eastern Africa.

Animal and human bones along with numerous crude stone chopping tools and flakes come from layers of ash and sandy sediment dated radiometrically at 1.85 million years old. Other methods of dating indicate that the mandible and the crania must have washed into the site about 1.7 million years ago.

A good post. My favorite subject.

That’s interesting since although the age of the earth is many billions years old, man is only 6000 years old...

Black on black fatigue goes way back.

Not possible. The earth is only “thousands” of years old. God said so.

IF true, then it was the animal “man” and not the made in the image of God “man” as we are today...

I’ve long suspected some of you are from different species.
