      Interesting that they repeatedly use the word “hominims” and not “humans.” The point being that hominims includes all species of humans and chimpanzees.

      So, they’re talking about any of a number of possible human species (there were six as recently as 50Kyrs ago) and possibly even some very clever chimps.

        It’s only very recently seen other great apes enter the Stone Age.

        So this is either humans, or a now-extinct species, I guess?

      Cerutti is heavily debated and most serious discussions of humans in the americas ignore it. The supposed association with stone tools fails to convince most archaeologists. A mastadon died there 130kya. That’s all cerutti can prove.

      Last i heard most experts think the bones were broken by modern construction equipment not ancient hominins.

    Technically prehistory but OK.

    Would be interesting to have an update. There’s been a lot of new discoveries in the last 20 years.
