I thought the homo species originated in San Francisco.

[allmendream]

Still wouldn't be “non- African”.

More like ‘out of Africa - to somewhere else - to everywhere else including Africa’.

[bgill]

But, but what about the homeland??? What about Mother Africa??? That’s ok, at least the Kenyan was from there.

[cripplecreek]

Well Calypso Louie does say that the white devil was created by a mad scientist in the caucasus.

homo erectus, as we now know, evolved AFTER Tweeter

Someone has been pointing this out for 8-10 years now:

Stranger In A New Land (Archaeology)

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.

Oh yeah...that's right, it's me.

8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and there he put the man he had formed. 10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[a] and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[b] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. Genesis 2:8; 10-14

This is where man came from!!

I give up! Every time an article on this subject comes up, my minds eye sees Adam and Eve changing their appearance.

[Just mythoughts]

Measurements of reversals in Earth’s magnetic field and of the rate of decay of the element argon in a series of volcanic ash layers provided age estimates for the new finds.

I really wish I knew what "reversals" in Earth's magnetic field means. Personally I 'believe' there was a time when due north and magnetic north were in unison and there will come a time when the two are set back in alignment.

Now the notion 'origins' is not 'out' of Africa is almost enough to shake this old earth back into its original orbit.

[MestaMachine]

Really/ REALLY??? WELL LA FREAKIN’ DUH! THEY FINALLY ADMIT IT? DAYUM.

New finds in Caucasus suggest non-African origin for ancient Homo species

I always thought Homos originated in San Francisco.

:>p

..of the University of North Texas

I knew civilization started in North Texas. ;-)

[Cicero]

I can’t say that I ever gave a lot of credence to that “out of Africa” business. I think one reason it was so rapidly accepted was that it was, well, politically correct.

[bunkerhill7]

Does this mean that we`re not all Egyptians after all?

[Fledermaus]

Get ready for an NAACP lawsuit.

[dfwgator]

New finds in Caucasus suggest non-African origin for ancient Homo species

Darn, there goes my chance of getting reparations.

[Mount Athos]

It’s interesting that the discovery was made there in Georgia.

This is where Greek myths say Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock because he had stolen fire from the Gods and given it to men.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

This theory flies in the face of orthodox dogma. Consequently, it will be shot at and the authors discredited for at least two generations of anthropologists. (It takes roughly two generations for an old theory to be replaced - just time enough for the old generation of “scholars” to die out.) I have always been interested in the origins of man (and woman) and have had a gut feeling that the “out of Africa” theory was pushed too hard.
