...that wisdom was upset in 1994, when a Homo erectus skull from Indonesia was dated to 1.8 million years B.P. (before the present). And while that discovery was disputed by some scholars, a find reported in last week's Science should end all doubt. Cranial bones from two H. erectus individuals, discovered in Dmanisi, in the Republic of Georgia, have been dated to at least 1.7 million years B.P.

To complete the procedure, the doctor punctures its skull and extracts its contents. In a dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion, the woman's cervix is also dilated, but the fetus is dismembered before being removed in pieces through the vagina. Under questioning from Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Nebraska Attorney General Don Stenberg conceded that the state could...
