“This find has changed how I think about our early ancestors. Forget the label ‘Stone Age,’ look at what these people were doing: they made something new, and large, from wood,” study co-author and University of Liverpool archaeologist Larry Barham. “They used their intelligence, imagination, and skills to create something they’d never seen before, something that had never previously existed.”
