Thanks much for another good find. At last, this vindicates the 2010 evidence interpretation of Dr. McPherron's team, which was disputed by other researchers (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11756602 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11756602)).

Who cares? Apes today use sticks as tools, as do many birds.

Because it is evidence that humans had adapted to eat meat a long time ago and flies in the face of vegan theories that we must be vegetarian because of our anatomy.

How many civilization reboots have humans gone through? It may explain the OO-parts... out of place parts... technological items dated to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years old.

As RF stated, it shows that raw-meat-consumption occurred much further back than thought. it also shows that early hominids/apemen were far more sophisticated(and intelligent) than previously thought, which is one of the main points I have been pushing for some time now. I would be not at all surprised if further studies show that a lot more than just the DNA of a mere 3 so-called " apeman" species are found in modern humans' DNA, or that many hominids left Africa even before homo erectus. The out-of-africa theory is increasingly looking like a joke and is a sign of human hubris and tantamount to Creationism. I mean, as soon as ancient hominids became bipedal, it would make sense that they would migrate to multiple other non-African territories rather than just stay rigidly in a few places in Africa for millions of years.
