1.2 Million year old human remain found
Anna Chan:
An exciting discovery in Spain. Archaeologists have unearthed the oldest known European jawbone. Scientists say this latest find proves that early humans may have roamed Europe as early as 1.2 million years ago. Here’s more.
The Atapuerca research team is credited with the discovery of the oldest known European jawbone.
It was found in the Sierra de Atapuerca in northern Spain. Bones, fossils and stone tools of the earliest known hominids in Europe have been found in several caves there.
In a paper published in the journal Nature, Spanish researchers say the new find is around 400,000 years older than other remains found at a nearby site 14 years ago.
Research team members say they have many reasons to be happy.
[Jose Luis Arzuaga, Researcher]:
“Today we can celebrate and we can afford to feel satisfied, not only about the publication but also because the research is going very well in a broader way.”
Up to now archaeologists had found evidence of human activity in Spain, France and Italy dated at around 1 million years ago but no human remains, only animal bones and stone tools.

Avoid vaccines, they contain mercury, aluminum, MSG, aspartame, formaldehyde, squalene etc that cause diseases like ADD, autism, Lupus, Gulf War syndrome, Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, asthma, arthritus, depression etc. Now the WHO is pushing 4.9 billion H1N1 vaccines to be made & used throughout the world..hmm

I have to agree …
I have to agree with feroz on this one…. very vague for a 1.2million yr old HUMAN mandable. You would think, that is if its an actual human jawbone, it would be a pretty big deal…. definately questionable and whomever thinks it’s not should probably question a LOT of things that they presume as true…
No it does not …
No it does not matter, since we are the same.
Watch Turns out we did come from monkeys
Sorry, but I don’t …
Sorry, but I don’t consider myself that low. But I’m glad you took it so easily, makes me seem this argument has no meaning at all whether it was from an ape or a human’s.
If it is a human …
If it is a human ancestor, it will be an ape.
We are apes.
Well, if its us …
Well, if its us they want to convince, they should at least make an explanation on how it is authentically a real human jaw, instead of leaving it as it is and open to misconceptions.
Then again, they may do know the difference, but hides the fact that it is not a real human jaw… I dont know. Im just giving an honest opinion from my point of view, as a commoner.
don´t you think …
don´t you think they know the difference?
If its just the jaw …
If its just the jaw, it could well just be a gorilla or another ape?

Could Darwin be right?
