An ancient bone tool, made from a piece of a large animal’s rib, features three curved barbs and a carved tip. The implement was made more than 800,000 years ago, probably by Homo erectus. M. PANTE ET AL/JOURNAL OF HUMAN EVOLUTION 2020

I’m pretty sure I’ve read about some animals who also know how to fashion tools and weapons.
Monkeys, bears, raccoons and even the clever crow.

Homo erectus crafted this to pick their noses.

Turn that bone straight up and it looks like an Easter Island statue.

It’s late, I just got off work after a strange shift tending bar, at home having a couple of drinks to unwind. So I’m scrolling through FR posts and see this one. So I think to myself I may as well click on it, maybe reading an article about about erect homos with barbed tools will put my evening in perspective.

This lawsuit is going to be enormous.

[Psalm 73]

There is human, and not human.

God created humans from he get-go - there were/are no intermediate species.

Okay, how did they, whoever it was, make the barbs? Bone is pretty hard...................

Some pretty smart guys.
