Just when I was just about fed up with his Alfred-the-Chipmunk, gauze-in-the-cheeks fresh-from-the-dentist look, I'm delighted to see that John McCain's jawbone has finally been located... 
AP: John McCain's Jawbone found in Europe

Human ancestor fossil found in Europe

A small piece of jawbone unearthed in a cave in Spain is the oldest known fossil of a human ancestor in Europe and suggests that people lived on the continent much earlier than previously believed, scientists say.
The researchers said the fossil found last year at Atapuerca in northern Spain, along with stone tools and animal bones, is up to 1.3 million years old. That would be 500,000 years older than remains from a 1997 find that prompted the naming of a new species: Homo antecessor, or Pioneer Man, possibly a common ancestor to Neanderthals and modern humans.
The new find appears to be from the same species, researchers said.
