Thanks for the link - fascinating and thought-provoking discovery. I wonder how they collected the fish they they ate. Nets and fishhooks wouldn’t have lasted 750K years.
I have been saying this for a long, long time now.
Ask Helen, she was there....

“Such organizational skills are thought to be unique to modern humans”
And bees and ants, and mole-rats, and beavers, and . . .
They appear to be Neopaleolithic! ;-)

Well, where to start with this nonsensical headline?
First, let's look at the meaning of "modern." I'm sure I don't have to go copy and paste source code from some online dictionary, here. The meaning is clear. And clearly, behaviors deemed modern have been rendered no longer modern by this discovery, should it withstand scrutiny, if and when such scrutiny might ever be applied.
Now, on to assumptions of time. It seems these folks really have a problem estimating age and any related timeline. So much so, that age and timelines are constantly being revised. Constantly. One would think, given the nature of honest intellectual inquiry, that such revisions might on occasion fall in a direction that does not favor the status quo. It's quite odd, rather like flipping a coin and coming up nothing but heads, for going on 150 years now.
Peculiar, isn't it? Dealing strictly with the misuse of the language and that alone, you might get the impression that somebody is trying to sell us something.
