Tools for humans go back many millions of years https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1252619/homo-sapiens-history-a...

This type of tool was succeeded by Mode II tools, or Acheulean, which appeared later, around 1.7million years ago.

The find refutes the "single species/single technology" of early Homo - the group of species which includes modern humans and several extinct relatives, including Homo erectus, according to a study published in the journal Science Advances.

In the fields of paleoanthropology and archaeology, stone tools are classified and therefore explained according to their complexity and time period in which they were used.

Mode I tools - also known as Oldowan tools - date back to more than a staggering two-and-a-half million years ago and are generally primitive in nature, usually consisting of stones that have had a handful of flakes chipped off.

"These findings about the timing at which interbreeding happened in the human lineage is telling something about how long it takes for reproductive isolation to evolve," said Rogers.

According to the new analysis, super-archaics first emerged as a distinct species 2 million years ago. This early group migrated into Eurasia and expanded to boast a population size of between 20,000 and 50,000 individuals. Around 700,000 years ago, Neanderthal-Denisovan ancestors arrived in Eurasia. The two groups interbred shortly afterwards.  https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2020/02/21/Earliest-evidence-of-ho...

Until now, this period of early human evolution was unknown.

Brain shape evolved gradually within the H. sapiens lineage, reaching present-day human variation between about 100,000 and 35,000 years ago.

Davy. Maybe I'm a fool but I always expect scientific evidence to persuade even the most ardent of creationists. No, come to think of it I am just a fool.

The creationist will never admit they are wrong as it goes against their grain and their ego to admit that fact.

We are really getting down to the nitty-gritty of early human interbreeding, aren't we? When will creationists admit they are wrong?
