476,000-year-old ancient woodworking discovery rewrites early human history - Lemmy.World

I understand that science needs evidence, but I’m surprised at how surprised they sound when they manage to prove things people on YouTube have been adamant about for a long time.
There are people on youtube who are 100% certain the earth is flat.
Wait, I’m on lemmy and this is the first I’ve heard that the earth is flat.

So they should just stop looking for evidence because of graham hancock-like theories on YouTube? Nah.

They don’t even sound that surprised. If you listen to archaeologists, they frequently talk about how different “oldest” dates are expected to be pushed back as new finds are made.
