Fossil find could be Europe's first humans
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/mar/27/archaeology.fossils
"The question of when early humans made it into
Europe is controversial. A large fossil collection
from Dmanisi, Georgia, is dated to around 1.7m
years ago. These are probably Homo erectus,
a human species found mainly further east in
Asia. Previously the oldest European fossils
with convincing dates were from Gran Dolina,
close to the new find in Atapuerca, Spain, and
from Ceprano in Italy. These are around half the
age of the new find."
