Stranger In A New Land

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.

H. Erectus has more than half.

Dont take literal what some journalist wrote. They know
only know their profession: writing good sounding articles.

There where ofcourse more primitive hominoids with even smaller brains. But there are no IQ-brainsize charts that can be used.
