Stone Age tools go south
Signs of early hand-axe making not limited to eastern Africa

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/39625/title/Stone_Age_tools_go_south

Although separated by several thousand kilometers, southern and eastern Africa were, in a sense, a stone’s throw from each other ancient times. New evidence suggests that human ancestors in southern Africa fashioned teardrop-shaped stone hand axes 1.6 million years ago, nearly twice as long ago as many researchers thought and about the time such tools are known to have first appeared in eastern Africa. ...
Gibbon suspects that Homo ergaster, a species regarded as a direct ancestor of modern humans, made the Windsorton hand axes. A nearby South African site has yielded H. ergaster fossils, but no fossils of any member of the human evolutionary family have been found in the Windsorton vicinity. Fossil finds have linked H. ergaster to Acheulean tools in eastern Africa.

LOL- You know full well Ergaster is NOT an accepted classification- but you just keep posting as though it is when clearly Even Evolution scientsits DOUBT it is a seperate class of ‘Human’

It’s funny that you keep posting info that is VERY questionable and which many scientists doubt as though it were a relevent subject to defend Macroevolution

By hte way- How Ya’ll doing on the IMPOSSIBILITIES of Macroevolution right from the Very beginning, all the way up to the highly complex species that contain TRILLIONS of impossible biological leaps? Got any of htem figured out yet? No? Then how is it possible that you are even attempting to defend somethign so far along an IMPOSSIBLE journey that it is nothign but a fantasy faith based hypothesis?

It’s like attempting to argue that rocks make an impossible biological leap and later- billions of years later, evolved into turds, and taking a fresh turd, and a petrified one, that might contain some MINOR biological difference, and claiming that they are two seperate ‘species’, and makling the wild claim that it is ‘further scientific evidence, that turds Macroevolved from rocks’

Ergaster evidence- lol Might wana do a little research on Ergaster- it might surprise you to know that only a HANDFUL of scientists think it was an actual seperate ‘human’, with the VAST MAJORITY believing that it was NOT (For which they give VERY GOOD evidence to support their claim that it was NOT)

“Until the mid-1980s, most evolutionists believed that the erectus skulls found in places like Asia and Europe had all emerged from an original erectus population which had emerged in Africa. Then others started saying that the skulls in Africa were a little different, and represented a separate species, which they named Homo ergaster, that is thought to have evolved into erectus.

This recent skull discovery has been made in Africa, and the skull is ‘dated’ (using the usual evolutionary assumptions) at one million years. It is a classic erectus skull, which seems to confirm the earlier view. This has caused people to reassess the whole matter of ergaster, with many now saying that ergaster never existed. I.e. they now point out that the differences between ergaster and erectus were, all along, too minor to call them a separate species. They were just a part of the range of variation in one group.

In other words, where once one could talk of three separate Homo species called ergaster, erectus and sapiens, now these are reduced to erectus and Sapiens. Study leader Dr Tim White, co-director of the Laboratory for Human Evolutionary Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, points out the widespread occurrence of what’s known as taxonomic splitting:

‘There’s been a recent tendency to give a different name to each of the fossils that comes out of the ground, and that has led to what we think is a very misleading portrayal of the biology of human evolution.’”
