The skull was from an adult male just shy of 5 feet (1.5 meters) with a massive jaw and big teeth, but a small brain, implying limited thinking capability, said study co-author Marcia Ponce de Leon of the University of Zurich. It also seems to be the point where legs are getting longer, for walking upright, and smaller hips, she said.

I was initially thinking Georgia, USA,,,,you know,,,like Atlanta,,,, and my skepticism was high.

Now that my mind has wrapped itself around the true location, I can see this as a pretty cool find.

Not to mention that I like the connection you have made.

I was thinking US as well and was wondering if it was a member of the House or the Senate.
