A skull that rewrites the history of man
It has long been agreed that Africa was the sole cradle of human evolution. Then these bones were found in Georgia...

Experts believe fossilized bones unearthed at the medieval village of Dmanisi in the foothills of the Caucuses, and dated to about 1.8 million years ago, are the oldest indisputable remains of humans discovered outside of Africa.

3. Even pre-Cavemen believed in socialized healthcare
A skull with not teeth, but with evidence of surviving years after the teeth were gone is an indication of concern for one another, which is (OMG!!!!!!!!!!!) socialismization!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just how the hell they got Obama's HCR message is beyond modern science.

5. But I loved the comments.
"Evolution is a theory and will always be a theory because you cannot prove something that you cannot observe."
So you can't observe gravity. It's a theory. Go ahead and jump off the bridge, Jesus will save you.

8. The story suggests only that an earlier hominid...
...than Homo erectus made it out of Africa. It doesn't show that erectus evolved anywhere else.
