Hell, just dig a bit deeper and I'm sure you'll find the rest of Stalin's victims.

I'd like a little more on the dating. Excavation of fossils on Aug. 6 and firm dating now leads to questions. It may be that the layers have already been dated, but the article didn't say. (Journalists!)

It is just so awesome how a DNA check on an individual takes up to two weeks and yet saying how old a bone is takes, what, ten minutes to estimate 1.8 million years?

It takes ten minutes to read that Eve was formed from Adam's rib.

What's your point?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Took me approximately one second.

Aside from pointing out that there are, apparently some slow-in-the-head Bible readers out there...

What's your point?

That's all - that anyone who still claims to believe that Genesis' account of the emergence of man is anything more than a Hebrew folk tale is, anthropologically speaking, a Luddite.

Lots of good archeological evidence being found in Georgia in the last ten years. Look it up.

1.8 million years ago, probably homo erectus. After the species evolved, they seemed to thrive and spread across most of the planet that wasn't ice covered (ice ages every 115,000 years) (and they had fire but they probably didn't have clothes) and everywhere long ocean voyages weren't required (proably didn't have boats.)

Actually I should add neanderthals clearly had clothes and they probably evolved from late-erectus-early-human-types about 400,000 years ago.

Yep.

Too bad there's still plenty people around who take myth for fact... and they're trying to legislate it into science classrooms.
