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.

After emerging in eastern Africa close to 200,000 years ago, anatomically modern people stayed on one continent for roughly 140,000 years before spreading out in force around the world. Then, from 40,000 to 35,000 years ago, our forerunners advanced into areas stretching from what is now France to southeastern Asia and Australia

They were waiting for Pithecanthropus and Neanderthal cave prices to go down.

Mankind, being naked and without fur, had to have risen in a temperate region rich in food and water with few predators; what happened after that doesn't matter a hill of beans compared to what modern man decides for the future.

We must now still live in accomodating circumstances if we have this many people rewriting our history every time they get a research grant.

Let's fix the ozone hole, global warming, poverty, establish world peace and figure out how to run our cars on sunbeams before we are forced to start the whole process over.

There are other planets to conquer.

36,000 years ago, a time when modern humans were leaving Africa in droves.

Early relative of Mugabe was in charge?

From this minority perspective, modern people originated as early as 2 million years ago, not 200,000 years ago.

Talk about really pinning 'er down! Scientist, weatherman, what's the difference?
