This isn’t a new fossil find. The news of the Homo erectus fossils in Georgia has been circulating for many years. It’s interesting to find fossils like this in a place like Georgia, but if my readings are any indication, Georgia is drop-dead gorgeous place with a beautiful climate and awesome scenery, so it makes sense that our ancestors would move there and set up house. I would, too, if I didn’t have to worry about political instability in the region.

I’ll stick to the old beliefs. My ancestors arrived here from a planet outside our solar system in an ice ship. Too bad the damn ship melted so we can no longer prove it.

Georgia is also the region known in antiquity as Colchis...so these early hominids may have been in search of the Golden Fleece.

Maybe the rent was too high, or possibly HIV was a problem even then. Ya think? ;-\

On a weekend canoeing trip down a river in the Georgia back country, four urban businessmen enter a nightmare in which both nature and mankind conspire to send them through a crucible of danger and degradation in which their lives and perhaps even their souls are put at horrendous risk.
Is this where they found the ancient bones?

Anyone who thinks primitive humans are extinct never met my in-laws.

Amazing just what they can deduce from fossil fragments, isnt it?
No kidding. I hate it when they say that man started here or there because that's where they found the oldest one. Have you look everywhere else, a**holes? How do you know it's the oldest?
Half the time their great early man finds turn out to be common apes or other animals anyway.

At Batumi, on the Black Sea, there is a botanic garden with plants from all over the world. When I was there in 1999, they had sections devoted to Japan, Australia, the Himalayas, as well as others. One of the highlights of my tour.

I don’t know about all this. Just look at the first sentence.
First: A forested bluff? Bluffs usually occur when aces don’t pair up or on a bad draw to an inside straight. There’s nothing about forests in the rules at all.
Then there’s the whole spiel about Hamlet being from Georgia. He was Danish iirc, that means he was probably from Minnesota. Or, maybe they meant Dutch and he was from Pennsylvania. Georgia? No way. Everyone knows that was mostly Gaels from Wales.
