    Thank you for posting and sharing, concerning some of the scapular/roughened bone frags, I believe they said probable Eland - that form is sometimes used in rendering fiber from plant material or in fish scalers; associated with the pigment/dye industry at the site, fiber production? Love to speculate from afar. Thanks again!

    I am not an archeologist but when it comes to the use of fire, I look at it a little differently. Homo erectus was a well traveled and very successful species. Whether we evolved from them is yet to be satisfactorily determined but it is likely we did. If H. erectus used fire a million years ago, you can bet we used it as well. Use of fire gave H. erectus a far greater advantage to control their environment throughout the world in which they lived. Once the importance of fire was known, I doubt it took long to learn how to control and start a fire. Did it take a month or so or a year or two or ten years? I can tell you it didn't take a couple of thousand years. Of course, the problem is that we may not have archeological evidence. It is an exciting time in archeology and we may have better proof as time goes on and technology improves even more. As to harvesting "seafood", if you are an early hominid living in Jebel Irhoud (Morocco) 315,000 years ago, you ate seafood and gazelle when you weren't eating each other. I would say it would be fair to report that any hominid living on a waterway ate "seafood" and coastal resources. Period the end.

    I would say that Adam and Eve had fire from the very beginning, being perfectly formed with better brains and intelligence than we currently have, given that our DNA has degraded significantly since the first humans walked the earth. Our DNA is degrading with each successive generation, and with it our intelligence. Case in point; We still don't really no how the Egyptians made the pyramids...... theories abound, and yet we probably couldn't recreate them today. They lived thousands of years ago..... stone age basically, yet people today think they are superior to people who lived then.

    To be honest, I'm surprised that fire wasn't "invented" in Australia...... any excuse for a barbecue!!!

    Kind of a tangent but the location of Border cave is set way back and up the hill compared to most cave sites we see highlighted. Obviously they don’t get to pick where the caves form but the reason I mention it is because it seems like a location where it would make natural sense to have a satellite site at the bottom of the hill to maybe lighten their load before hiking up to the cave, meetup with others etc.. Maybe they would do some butchering down there at the forest/plain line to avoid dragging a whole carcass a mile up the hill, I mean that’s what I’d do lol.

    Good point. However, she is speaking about rather recent populations, so one might assume that there was at least some concept of sexual exclusivity. Ethnographic evidence to the contrary is fairly sparse. Nevertheless, sexual partners would be more correct.
