Ancient tools and fossils reveal early Eurasian life in Georgia

The southern region of Georgia has yielded surprising evidence about ancient life, reported by officials in Dmanisi. Local authorities describe the discovery as part of ongoing work to understand early human presence in Eurasia, with archaeologists uncovering tools that were crafted by the continent’s earliest inhabitants and dating back roughly 1.8 million years. An international archaeological expedition notes that, within soil layers from that era, a lower jaw tooth identified as a fourth premolar has been found, adding a tangible fossil element to the tools and habitation evidence already uncovered in the area.
