Former Golf Course Yields Insights Into Human Evolution

In 2009 of August, two paleoanthropologists named Curtis Marean and Kyle Brown found 72,000 year old silcrete rocks with an international team of collaborators. Early humans fired and flaked these rocks to make stone tools. These rocks were located at Pinnacle Point (south tip of Africa). At the same site in 2007, Marean and a group of colleagues found a 164,000 year old resource usage. The cave consisted of advanced stone tool technologies. In my opinion, this article got me very interested because cavemen were also very smart. They created advanced tools in their time and probably lived life happily.
