• Origins and Evolution of Genus Homo (2012, background): “Among regional samples, both early African H. erectus and early Indonesian H. erectus are ∼25% larger on average than Georgian H. erectus of about the same geological age, a similar difference as for body size (tables 1, 2).”
• Villafranchian: The long story of a Plio-Pleistocene European large mammal biochronologic unit (2010, background): “The sedimentary succession of the Kvabebi site (Georgia) has also been recently calibrated by paleomagnetism (Agustı́ et al., 2009).”
• Ecological dominance, social competition, and coalitionary arms races: Why humans evolved extraordinary intelligence. (2005, background): “…dominance is that, by just under 1 mya (de Vos, Sondaar, & Swisher, 1994; Pope, 1995), but possibly by 1.8 mya (Swisher, Curtis, Jacob, Getty, & Suprijo, 1994), hominins are found in Java, and by 1.7 mya, are found in Georgia (Gabunia et al., 2000), as well as persisting in east and south Africa.”
• Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology (2006, background): “That the earliest humans out of Africa quickly moved as far north as latitude 40◦–45◦ (e.g., Gabunia et al., 2000; Zhu et al., 2001) and then held at that threshold for more than a million years is consistent with the idea that roots, tubers, and corms were a critical component of their diet: This…”
