I guess evolution isn't so much of a theory after all
Anyways sarcastic religion quips aside, this is a pretty damn cool find.
The article states he was found along with 30+ flint tools used for butchering etc, to imagine that man kind has been working with tools that long is just un-fucking-believable if you ask me
Also a cool concept that he was found in spain, because they also have found 1.6 million/yo remains of a man in Indonesia
Quote:
The earliest known human fossils found outside of Africa are from Dmanisi in the modern-day Republic of Georgia. Identified as either Homo erectus or Homo ergaster, the remains date to around 1.8 million years ago.
"The Republic of Georgia is at the gates of Europe," Bermúdez de Castro said. "It's the crossroads between Africa and Eurasia from a geographical point of view."
But H. erectus fossils estimated to be 1.6 million years old have been located as far away as Java in Indonesia, he noted.
Because of that, "we think that in Europe we are going to find more hominin fossils probably older than those of Sima del Elefante," Bermúdez de Castro said.

Pretty fucking cool that mankind was so spread out 1-2 million years ago, and if you ask me it dents the credibility of religion even further, You gotta love all this scientific proof of evolution and our ancestors
