Archaeologists have discovered five skulls of early human ancestors in Dmanisi, Georgia, that challenge the conventional view of human evolution. The skulls belong to Homo erectus, which lived about 1.8 million years ago. The skulls show a remarkable diversity of features, suggesting that Homo erectus was more variable than previously thought and that other human species may have been just regional variants of the same species.
