My Little Jew's Tooth (You don't know what I got)

[Brer Brian]

Recently read this article in national geographic about the superheated, politically charged and controversial search for David and Solomon in the archeological record.

More recently on yahoo news a tooth is found that suggests homo sapiens developed 200,000 years before previously thought. And not in africa, but modern day israel.

Next question- Who were these early hominids from 400,000 years ago, exactly? Were they Jewish?

I thought Judaism started with Abraham so I'd have to say no, they weren't Jewish.

I am intrigued by the conversation about (although I'm not saying whether this is or is not) political archaeology.
