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.

@Beuta Egoism is totally neglecting all others beliefs and knowledge THINKING you are right above them all with no evidence to support it.And an unwillingness to change your beliefs when new evidence surfaces that totally contradicts them. THAT is ego.

But will it blend

These were not HUMAN remains. I dont blame you. GO STUDY THE HOLY QURAAN and you will know what that is, plus it will save you billions and billions of pointless researches.

What a pity people, to be so happy with a yaw boon.

They are only happy because their unresty souls are a little bit satisfied.

Perhaps they have now a proof against God's creation.

It also blew away the geologic column and the age of the earth (actually, the idea we came from microorganisms millions of times more complex than us does). This proves one of two things:

1) The geologic column and the earth's age are WRONG.

2) Carbon dating is unreliable and should not be used because its giving us incorrect dates for objects.

If your referring to the Catholic Church and mainstream teachings, your correct. I'm a Christian, and I reject the teachings of mainstream religion because they're NOT part of the religion, rather part of the new Luciferean religion the world's elites are putting together (to worship Satan).

But let me tell you that the Biblical recordings came straight from God Himself. He's given us His eyewitness account, and many people reject that fact.

This discovery just blew away the OUT OF AFRICA mythology.

The owner of that jaw must have found some very spectacular scene, like a naked woman perhaps?

[LittleRicky63]

Thats my grandmas! Give it back!

[TTibble]
