1.8 Million year old skull Discovered, Scientists say we all come from same species but just looked

Finally a discovery that make us all the same, so please don’t judge people from it skin or anything..we are brothers!!

The discovery of a complete 1.8 million-years-old skull has rewritten the story of how modern man evolved from our early ancestors in Africa, according to Swiss scientists.
A skull found in Georgia from an ancient human ancestor, known as Skull 5, implies that all Homo species were once one.
Research suggests that the earliest members of the Homo genus, including Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis and Homo erectus belonged to the same species and simply looked different to each other, shaking up the classification system for early human ancestors.

They studied the skull that was unearthed in Dmanisi, Georgia and found that unlike other Homo fossils, Skull 5 combines a small braincase with a long face and large teeth.
It was discovered alongside the remains of four other early human ancestors, a variety of animal fossils and some stone tools, all of which are associated with the same location and time period which makes the find truly unique.
The site, which has only been partially excavated, is providing scientists with the first opportunity to compare and contrast the physical traits of multiple human ancestors that apparently coexisted at the same time in the same geological space.

so the study say that earliest members of the Homo genus, including Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis and Homo erectus belonged to the same species and simply looked different to each other, only Geograpical make us different..

The Dmanisi excavation site, situated below a medieval Georgian village, where the skull was found. It has only been partially excavated so far but has given scientists the first chance to compare how different human ancestors lived together

this is the recent discoveries from the dig site..

David Lordkipanidze of the Georgian Academy of Sciences holds a 1.75-million-year-old skull, excavated in Dmanisi in 2001. The bones of an early human with a small head suggest larger brains associated with modern humans did not necessarily evolve before our ancestors began migrating

The skull that was unearthed in Dmanisi, Georgia and was unlike other Homo fossils and combines a small braincase with a long face and large teeth. Pictured is a skull discovered in 2005 that is 1.5m years old

What? come and Hug me!..we are Brothers!

and sisters.....

Anyway, Dmanisi hominids are similar to the African ones, which suggests their was a single hominid species, but as the skull isn't yet even excavated properly, we will have to wait and see until the research is in.

Was he a small guy?

The guy is palming the skull or a mold of it.

Tq For the Hug..Brother And Sisters!

Here's a hug from me too. I love it every time paleontology is proven useless guess work.

It was discovered alongside the remains of four other early human ancestors, a variety of animal fossils and some stone tools, all of which are associated with the same location and time period which makes the find truly unique.

This sounds like a burial site.
wow

Is this Discovery of the Dmanisi Skull a recent one?
I dont think so.
Daily news is not a reputed source for upto date archaeological news, but it is quite well known for Sensational Journalism.

The same has been posted by Hanslune also at

What you have stated is correct that - most of the finds like Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis and Homo erectus are all from the same lineage.

But the sensationalism accorded is false. The skulls were discovered 12 years back. Only the research and consensus took a long time.

The particular Skull you are talking about, Skull D2700 was not discovered recently, but discovered in 2001, about 12 years back.

For a full details on Skull D2700, have a look at the below link at talkorigins.org site

Skull D2700

After the discovery of Skull D2700, four other discoveries were discovered, comprising of mandibles (D2600 & D211), partial skeletons (D2735 & D3900).
