Whoops, made a bad copy-paste up there. First paragraph of the excerpt should be: "Analysis of stone tools attributed to the Ahmarian, the first Upper Paleolithic culture of the Near East (dated approximately 40,000 to 45,000 years ago) shows that small, elongated, symmetrical objects (bladelets) were mass-produced on-site. Such a standardized production is in line with what archaeologists have already suggested being linked to the bow and arrow introduction."

There are still plenty of those paleoithics wandering about in the lavant

“Mass production” hmmm - what is the evidence to support that loaded term.
