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.

Remarkably, hominids thought by certain evolutionist scientists to be 7 million years old resemble certain modern day entertainers.

In related news, carbon dating of James Brown revealed that the entertainer is 7 million years old. Scientists think that may explain some of the gutteral sounds in his songs.
