;-) From whence evolved across the land bridge to Alaska to become Eskimos and “Native Americans” and Incas and Mayans, blah, blah, blah. Those ancestors? Turning garden spots into sh**holes for centuries.
Nah - this ‘suggests’ more evidence of alien tampering...

That’s Schiff-hole
If they thought India was better, then it really must have been a shithole.
IOW, people have been escaping Africa forever.
Did humanity really “exit Africa?” I mean, the theory that humanity developed there first is so widely accepted, and repeated by every “scientist” and especially media commentator, I wonder if opposing evidence that disproves that theory might be simply ignored.
If Africa is the oldest civilization, shouldn’t they be the most advanced?
“Hey dude, lets get the eff outta here!!!”
“Out of Africa, that is.”
As a lithic technologist, I'll agree that all the pictured artifacts are, indeed, artifacts -- and not "accidental geofacts".
All of them are "faceted", from multiple, purposeful flake removals, and many removals show clear evidence of a "hard hammer" (aka "hammerstone") strike.
A further, convincing point is that the materials are granular, tough materials that will only produce a thin, sharp flake when submitted to well-directed, high velocity, shockwave-initiating percussive strikes. Such precise impacts are exceedingly rare in nature -- and multiple such strikes on a single small stone are so improbable as to be essentially non-existent in nature.
And, several of them even exhibit prepared "striking platforms" for flake removals!
Whoever made them may have been "primitive" -- but, they definitely exhibited technical knowledge and skill.

(To anyone who thinks otherwise -- I challenge you to pick up some rocks and duplicate these "crude" artifacts...) '-)
2. Africa i.e. the horn of Africa where the species is assumed to have left was not quite the hellhole it is today. in fact Egypt, Ethiopia etc were quite well before the rise of Izlamm
hahaha! I was going to say that!
