Digital Caveman:
I think most people grossly underestimate cavemen's intelligence; they where human just like we are.

GlisGlis:
it's so similar to glue hafted kimberley points
It's so fascinating when distant cultures evolve similar tools

Tracker0721:
Haha I think everyone underestimated them to the extreme. Honestly what they had to remember every day to survive and then evidence of things like this coming out, it’s nuts. The way they knapped points is insane too, our more modern styles are super easy in comparison. I still wonder how they passed that technology across all the groups. Probably a lot more peaceful than they’re made out to be.
