The village of Orozmani is home to one of the earliest ancient human settlements in Europe.

Archaeologists in Georgia have discovered a 1.8 million-year-old tooth belonging to an early human species. This was reported by Reuters.

According to experts, this find proves that this region was home to one of the earliest settlements of ancient people in Europe.

In particular, the tooth was discovered near the village of Orozmani, about 100 km southwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi, near Dmanisi, where 1.8 million-year-old human skulls were found in the late 1990s and first part of the 2000s.

It is noted that the find became the oldest discovery in the world outside of Africa and changed the view of scientists about the evolution and migration processes of ancient people.

In turn, Giorgi Bidzinashvili, the scientific leader of the excavation team, believes that the tooth belongs to the “cousin” of Zezva and Mzia – the names given to the two almost intact 1.8 million-year-old fossilized skulls found at Dmanisi.

It was previously reported that archaeologists discovered the remains of a young man buried 31,000 years ago in a cave called Liang Tebo.
