I question whether or not the discovery of these artifacts represents the first or earliest anything. For years we’ve been told that the African finds prove that evolution took place in Africa. I don’t think we’ve proven the theory of evolution or that human beginnings were in Africa.

On the contrary, perhaps we’re findings artifacts in Africa because Africa was the location of the most recent development, not the oldest, thus, more likely to be preserved.

We have accepted African Eve and the subsequent finds with few questions; that might be a mistake. And, while you’re wondering about those artifacts, wonder why the same family of archeologists makes so many earth-shaking discoveries in that region.

It’s time for for honest skepticism.

That's an interesting angle.

I find dates like 77kya for South Africa and 130kya for France very interesting. I have also noticed other interesting finds from 75 to 85kya. These dates fall before the great Toba eruption of about 74kya which left a crater about 18 x 65 miles, and whatever event(s) triggered the start of the last ice age about 125kya. These finds are part of the reason why I think we have had periods of advance in civilization, followed by catastrophe and serious decline in civilization, followed by a gradual rebuilding. I wonder if our civilization will survive the next 200 years??
