"In the future, they hope to determine exactly what happened to the flake-using losers."
Um...Perhaps taking a knife or 'flake' to an axe fight might suggest something? The Scots always prefered using axes to deal with issues.
Unfortunately, their axes and swords didn't do much good when their opposition had artillery.
These people are smoking too much of the wrong substances. The existence of two classes of tools does not remotely imply the existence of rival waring exclusive human societies. Those are indeed likely enough, on ordinary evidence from human history. Without any implication that each group only used one tool. The knives were probably for skinning and other such detail work, the heavier stones for hunting, wood chopping, etc.
The whole story is simply another example of archelogists replacing missing evidence with personal fantasies.
