Kinda wondering how wood lasts 300,000 years, though.

To my mind, these are not ‘digging’ tools.
They are for puncturing holes in animal skins so that they can be sewn together with strips of animal skin to be worn as a garment.................

Intricately crafted? I would have said crude.

Pine can withstand time if kept dry and the beetles don't decide to have it for dinner.
Rot resistant woods like American chestnut, black locust, lignum, etc. are very durable. There are the remains of many chestnut trees on our property. They succumbed to the blight and fell over 100 years ago. While now covered with moss, etc. on the ground, peeling that off reveals solid wood.

“intricately crafted wooden tools in East Asia, dating back over 350,000 years”
TWEEEEEEET!
Biblical timeline violation.

That’s about how long it takes me to find my lost tools.

Wait one, isn’t the Earth only like six or seven thousand years old?

I remember American Indian bone tools found that DATED TO 21,000 YEARS AGO! All the news papers ran with the story!
Then several years later was a small article buried in the back of a newspaper, the the items were actually only 2000 years old.
Also another story that due to an ancient blast from the sun, all radiocarbon datings were not as old as said but actually 500 years younger than originally said to be.
Wonder how many other datings are in error.
