"Ancient axes hint at earlier 'out-of-Africa' exodus. The Acheulian did not accompany the first human dispersal from Africa despite being available at the time," the researchers conclude. Indeed, the new-and-improved super tools didn't show up in Asia, the Middle East or Europe until at least half-a-million years later. Why? (Nature)
Answer: They forgot to take them or couldn't fit them in the car? But perhaps a tad more likely; you chaps just haven't found them yet! Reason? Because there are only a few of you digging away for a few months of the year in areas a little bit bigger than your back garden.
Lead author C.J.Lepre gets surprised easily. In fact most folk of a scientific persuasion always seem have an over abundance of the surprise gene. Our old family ancestry had near the brain capacity as we latter day tree swingers, then logically they didn't just hunt, sleep, sex and scratch their bums for hundreds of thousands of years. The oldies of this earth perhaps did somewhat more thinking and doing than they are ever given credit for. I presume that C.L.Lepre wouldn't leave his new power tool behind when moving house, so why would these people leave behind the equivalent?
Less surprise, more imagination and a little more humility from you profs and boffins of modern times...for those long lost ones, would also have looked up at that ancient night sky and wondered...
