Fossil skull challenges understanding of human evolution - video
http://www.theguardian.com/science/video/2013/oct/17/fossil-skull-human-evolution-homo-erectus-video

The discovery of a complete hominid skull and other fossil remains in Dmanisi, Georgia, suggests that the earliest members of the Homo genus – currently split into half a dozen distinct species – actually belonged to a single species: Homo erectus. These early human ancestors probably just had a wide range of physical appearances, say researchers in the journal Science.

I know this is a San Francisco based forum, but do we really need a thread about homo erections? ;-)

Why did that species disappear? Was it high capital gains rates, or government health care?

And do we have any birth certificates for these guys?

Government health care inhibits natural selection, so gov't health care must be eliminated.

Hell,some of us are almost to old to be Erectus.
