"It's a very special cave," he said. "It reflects an unknown stage in the history of humanity. We don’t know which type of human lived here. We know that they acted differently than everyone else who lived in this area before them. They seem like a different type of human. They didn't just behave differently, but they also looked differently. If we aren't mistaken, they were more similar to us ( humans today), and not their forefathers the Homo erectus.…"

"This site is approximately 400,000 years old. If you look at what (the early humans) did here, on their hunting strategies, the way they made their tools and how they prepared their food, it points to one of the most important changes in the history of mankind.…

He died from gangrene following the shitty surgery to remove the bolt.

Vic knows and lets you know the news.
