Here's an interesting article I'd like to share with all my fellow prehistoria enthusiasts. It's called "Dig Yields trace of 500,000-year-old house" from The Japan Times in 2000. You can just imagine whole villages of the low rustic hovels, inhabited by the elfin homo erectus half a million years before mainstream education would have us believe that homo sapien finally created civilization.

Hi!
Interesting blog you have. Not sure how I stumbled across it, but I've been a subscriber for about a week.
Looking forward to your future posts :)
Hobbits come to mind.
Thanks for the subscriptions!
Yes hobbits definitely come to mind. Here is an article on "flores man," a species of asian erectus dubbed "the hobbit"

This is one of the most embarrassing things to have ever happened in Japanese archaeology. And by now one of the most famous hoaxes.

"After Fujimura’s forgery at Kamitakamori was revealed, Saitama Prefecture conducted a major review of excavations at Ogasaka and neighboring sites in order to find out whether Fujimura had had any opportunities to plant stone tools at the sites. The reviewers checked photographs and videotapes and interviewed the crews regarding the timing of the discoveries, the members involved in the discoveries, and even how Fujimura was dressed at the time. As a result of the review, 54 out of 162 artifacts were initially declared “safe” discoveries. However, re-excavations later demonstrated that these sites were actually devoid of any artifacts other than those planted by Fujimura."
Woops! I wasn't too up on the news in 2007, being on tour playing jazz with Saskia Laroo! Sorry about that, and thanks for your wisdom!
Luckily, we have new legit evidence of stone buildings 500,000 years ago!
