where the date was given as 300,000 years ago. There really isn't that much about it online and there should be, IMO.

Anthropology is opening things wide up, they're finding so much that shouldn't be there that early but indisputably is, like the copper axe found with the body of a 5500 year old corpse in the Alps some years ago or the megalith structure at Gobekli Tepe, dated to 12,000 years ago, several thousand years before people thought such refined stone work was possible.

Our ancestors might not have looked like much, but it seems they were a lot smarter than we've given them credit for.
