Abstract
- The article reports on the archaeological excavation carried by David Lordkipanidze, a paleontologist and director of the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi. Lordkipanidze's excavation site was located at the medieval city of Dmanisi where he was able to recover five human jaw bones, skulls and skeletons dated 1.77 million years ago. It was inferred that the remains have helped Lordkipanidze in gathering relevant information concerning on when the early inhabitants left Africa as well as the origin of the remains. It was found that the humans belonged to the group of Homo habilis which is considered as the oldest inhabitants in Africa. In addition, Lordkipanidze has also preserved the site which is comprised of dome, laboratory and museum.
