"Three types of prehistoric hominin -including Neanderthals - could produce the flakes, which were manufactured across Euroepe, Western Asia and Africa as early as 300,000 years ago."
Did read the article. At one point it still referred to Neanderthals as our ancestors. We probably had a common ancestor.; that is, for the evolutionist among us, somewhat scarce on FR.
I do see what you mean, but this sentence [”The reproduction of how Neanderthals worked shows that it is unlikely that stone flakes used in the tools could have been shaped by accident — and that our ancestors intentionally ‘engineered’ stone cores to create tools fit for their jobs.”] seemed pretty specific.
