the two fundamental truths of historical and contemporary mankind:
- we were just as smart then as we are now
- we are just as stupid now as we were then
- Yes, the Ancient Egyptians absolutely could have built the pyramids
- Yes, modern people absolutely could have a moral panic about bicycles driving women into fits of licentiousness

Are You Fucking Prepared
In archeology there are artifacts, which are items made or modified by humans, but there are also manuports, which haven’t been modified but are found far from any possible origin point and there’s no explanation besides somebody carried it there. Manuports include things like stones, fossils, and seashells, and have been found in deposits as much as three million years old.
So yeah, apparently the oldest human activity for which we have evidence is Picking Up Cool Rocks.
I was on a team that found a walrus tusk on a late IR2 site in central Jordan. We all knew what it was instantly, but just kind of sat there, telling ourselves stories about how it got there. It was plain and unmodified, and probably one of the coolest things the team ever found.
The Makapansgat pebble is [possibly] the world’s oldest manuport; it’s about three million years old, has indentations that look a bit like a human face, and was found in a cave in South Africa alongside Australopithecus bones, at least 3 miles from the nearest natural source.
“It has been suggested that some hominids might have recognized it as a symbolic face, in possibly the earliest example of symbolic thinking or aesthetic sense in the human heritage, and brought the pebble back to the cave.”
Anyway I just think that’s neat. One of our very early ancestors saw a stone that kind of had a face in it and went “hey, friend stone” and took it home.
