Where do the Dmanisi hominins fit on the human evolutionary tree?

2025-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Archeological excavations at the site of Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia have yielded a rich assemblage of hominin fossil remains, as well as lithic artefacts and bones of fossil fauna. The site is considered to be between 1.95 Ma and 1.77 Ma (Gabunia et al. 2000b) and presents us with the first skeletal evidence of hominins to emerge from Africa, a key event in human evolution. Their morphology, and the degree...
