The bible is all literal, yet it’s also all a metaphor. FFS, how are people so dumb? Christians don’t even agree. Just pick whatever interpretation you prefer, that makes total sense…
That was not the moral of the story. Some people just read instead of understanding
Do you even realize how hard you’re proving my point right now?

Facial Reconstruction of Homo georgicus, Skull nº D2700 from Dmanisi Republic of Georgia (~1.8 Mya)
- Reconstruction by Philippe Froesch
This reconstruction is rather different than those seen in the previous post. The nose is much narrower and the nostrils are much less flared. The supraorbital torus is less prominent, the eyes are light and the skin much fairer too. It also seems less prognathic but it’s hard to tell from these angles. You don’t often see a reconstruction of any hominid dating to ~1.8 Mya that looks this modern human caucasian-like. However, Homo erectus was all over the shop and certainly variability existed. Here are some examples of other reconstructions, this one (Dmanisi), this one (Dmanisi), this one (Homo erectus) and this one (Homo erectus). See also this image for comparisons of different reconstructions of the Dmanisi specimens. I wonder about variability both in artistic but scientifically informed representation and on a geographic basis in fossil specimens. And I’m aware that I’m conflating taxa here because as today’s guest post noted, there is no consensus as to the taxon of the Dmanisi fossils.

The fucking dialogue is hilarious. “Come back when you wanna save the whales.” ” Rainforest, rainforest, rainforest, ect.” I actually saw this with my now girlfriend and at one point she said,”Christ she’s got a dirty mouth.”
