Dmanisi Homo erectus ergaster Skull
MYA. The Dmanisi Homo erectus (ergaster) was discovered in 1999 by Abesalom Vekua, et al. in Dmanisi, Georgia. Our cast comprises the D2700 cranium and D2735 jaw. This small-brained specimen, found alongside Oldowan-like choppers and scrapers, undercuts the theory that hominids did not leave Africa until about one million years ago and only after becoming large-brained bipeds with well-developed tool-making abilities.
