I’ve found a few arrowheads through the years, and they fascinate me to this day! So much work to make one...and usually ‘D’OH!’ you hit it and split it, LOL!
My In-Laws owned a farm down the road from mine, with a rather large pond on the property.
In the ‘dry years’ when the pond was low, we’d all be digging because THAT’S when the treasures could be found. Lots of Native Americans settled in that area back in the day. Arrowheads and flint fire-starters.
I tend think of figures like “50,000 years” as relatively arbitrary. Maybe that makes me an outcast from the world of science, but the credulity is stretched beyond wanter into wine by the same Man who created the heavens and the earth in six days.

Fire ... don’t try to get through an Ice Age without it.
