These were representatives of Homo erectus who lived in the area of present-day Georgia. About a million years ago, our ancestors lived on the Iberian Peninsula and the area of today's France. During the glacial period, the glacier effectively stopped the colonization of the northern regions of Europe, and only about 12.000 years ago did Homo sapiens expand northwards. About 8000 years ago, they colonized the area of Central Europe, and a thousand years later - Scandinavia.
