Humans have been in Europe since 1.2 million years ago

March 27, 2008

It’s now a fact that humans have been around Europe since 1.2 millions years ago.

The human remains found at a cave near the city of Burgos are the oldest findings in Europe and come to prove that humans have been around in Europe for quite a long time.

Archeologists had already found evidence of human activity in Europe from up to one million years ago through animal bones and stone tools but no human remains.

This fossil that is thought to be from a “homo antecessor” could have shared ancestors with modern men and may have mixed with the more recent newcomers from Africa.

The similarity of the jaw found with another jaw discovered in the central Asian country of Georgia that was 1.7 millions years old came to sustain that instead of humans coming from Africa via Gibraltar they had come via Middle East.

The fashion of leather dye shoes, particularly in the men’s shoes came shortly after they started having handbags of their own and dictating their wives choices in sunglasses or even earrings.
