Speaking of skeletal remains found in Sungir and other Paleolithic sites near Moscow from nearly 30,000 years ago, in his Harvard lectures, Valery Pavlovich Alexeev wrote: “The nose is very broad, similar to African or Australian. This strong development around the nose is not typical for Europoid but is similar to East African populations.” IN: Geraldine Reinhart-Waller, The Alekseev 1990 Harvard Manuscript: Peoples & Cultures of the Soviet Union & Archaeology of the USSR. Note: The diadem worn in Africa today in (A) was worn in Sungir 25,000 years ago in (B). In Nature, we read: “The Dmanisi (D) of 1.8 million years ago] are the first hominids with clearly ‘African’ features found outside that continent ... says archaeologist Ofer Bar-Yosef of Harvard University ... Nariokotome (C) Boy, an almost complete skeleton of an adolescent male who is dated to about 1.6 million years ago in Kenya. Dan Lieberman, a paleoanthropologist at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. said “They are astonishing! They [Homo ergaster fossils (D)] could be Nariokotome Boy’s brother.” IN: Michael Balter, A Glimpse of Humans’ First Journey Out of Africa, Science, 288, pp. 948 – 950, Issue of 12 May 2000. ..art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
