  • Oldest Homo erectus: Drimolen, South Africa, 2nd Dmanisi

    The DNH 134 Homo cranium has affinities with H. erectus and extends the species’ temporal range by ~200,000 to 150,000 years. DNH 134 being older than A. sediba complicates the likelihood of this species being ancestral to Homo in South Africa, as
    previously suggested. With the oldest occurrence of H. erectus at the southern tip of Africa, this argues against a suggested Asian origin for H. erectus. DNH 152 represents the oldest P. robustus cranium in South Africa. The Drimolen stone and bone
    tools are also the oldest from the region

    2ma Drimolen
    1.7ma Dmanisi, Georgia
    1.5ma Turkana

    It's the usual bullshit.

    They have no idea what it is. In fact, given all the evidence it makes
    no sense to leap -- and it is a leap -- to the wild conclusion that it's erectus.

    The DNH 134 Homo cranium has affinities with H. erectus

    It's not a cranium, it's a fragment. Of an immature individual.

    It's simply propaganda -- reinforcement of the Out of Africa nonsense.

    Don't try to think.

    Do you honestly believe that's a Homo erectus skull: Yes or no?

    Because they identify that as NOT erectus but there's really no significant difference.

    And to be absolutely clear:

    : The presence of H. erectus in South Africa during this time period also damages
    : a theory that proposes Asia as the birthplace of this species.

    Amazing. An identification which seems frivolous at best, anomalous for certain and not
    well supported at all, but it does reinforce the OoA brainwashing...

    Myself? Not a fan of Out of Asia or Africa or anywhere else. I tend to see an environment,
    not some GPS coordinates, as the "Place of Origins." I don't have a dog in the race, EXCEPT
    to counter the propaganda.
