Tänkte väl det. Totalt felaktiga uppgifter.
Enligt "Patterns of hominid evolution and dispersal in the Middle Pleistocene
G. Philip Rightmire*" så uppstod Homo erectus för minst 1.8 miljoner år sedan. Skandalöst att gå ut med så grovt felaktiga uppgifter.
Citat:
"Let me begin with Homo erectus. This species has
deep roots in Africa, and the oldest fossils are from the
Turkana Basin in Kenya. Several good crania, mandibles
and a partial skeleton from Koobi Fora are dated minimally
to 1.8Ma (Feibel et al., 1989), and the famous boy
(KNM-WT 15000) from Nariokotome is 1.5Ma in
age (Brown and McDougall, 1993)."
"Additional evidence for early occupation in western
Asia occurs at Dmanisi in the Georgian Caucasus. Here
excavations have uncovered fauna and a core-chopper
industry strati"ed above a lava #ow dated at 1.8Ma
(Gabunia and Vekua, 1995). Whether the bone-bearing
layers are close in age to the basalt, or perhaps substantially
younger, has been disputed, but new work may now
provide an answer to this question (see below). Along
with the animal fossils, there is a human mandible. Several
workers have studied this specimen, and there is
general agreement that it is erectus-like, with some derived
(advanced) traits especially in the morphology of
the symphysis and the size of the dentition "
"For the Far East, there are now some radiometric ages
that suggest the presence of Homo erectus at Sangiran in
Java between 1.7 and 1.0Ma ago."
