Pleistocene hominin evolution is biocultural. Evidence of advanced woodworking in the 300-500,000 year range strongly suggests woodworking originated much deeper in time that that. Great evidence of biocultural complexity at Schöningen (~300kya) https://t.co/WwvRcCQ4Xq

What people are saying
Several discussions highlight the remarkable insights provided by the Schöningen artifacts, with comments like 'Pretty dang cool article on early wooden tools,' demonstrating excitement about the implications of these findings. The use of phrases such as 'largest assemblage worldwide' and references to the 'interplay of technological complexity' lend a serious tone to the conversations, conveying a collective recognition of the importance of these discoveries for understanding early human capabilities.
Most discussions express support for the findings, recognizing the significance of the research on early wooden tools.
There is strong enthusiasm reflected in discussions, expressing curiosity about prehistoric woodworking and its implications.
While some posts are casual, others provide detailed insights and references, indicating active consideration of the research.
Many believe the article significantly alters perceptions of human evolution and technological advancements in prehistoric societies.
Abstract in brief
- Wooden artifacts from Schningens Spear Horizon highlight the essential role of woodworking in the daily lives of prehistoric hunter-gatherers, as they created tools for hunting, gathering, and domestic tasks.
- The Schningen site, dating back 300,000 years, is significant because it contains the largest and most diverse collection of wooden tools ever found from the Pleistocene era, with 187 identified artifacts showcasing various woodworking techniques.
- This discovery challenges previous views on the lifestyles of early humans and offers new insights into the technological advancements of the time, particularly in the context of the hunter versus scavenger debate.

The paper is open access and beautifully illustrated with images of many of the tools. Amazing detail of split-wood manufacture, sharpening and signs of use wear, and fire-hardening. These are quite obviously the tip of an unseen iceberg of technology. https://t.co/boHNKXZTqT https://t.co/zrETHwi05y

While we can infer that the common ancestor of Homo & the chimps used spears their preservation in the fossil record is rare unlike stone tools. This is quite an assemblage of spears from 300K years. Were these made by neanderthalis or heidelbergensis? https://t.co/WfqQzJuixL
