Archaeologists discover world\'s oldest wooden structure

Summary:
Half a million years ago, earlier than was previously thought possible, humans were building structures made of wood, according to new research.
Birds were building nests too. Beavers, dams.

Right, almost all the early \'innovations\' were imitations of something they saw occurring in nature.

You can\'t know that. Bows and arrows, swords, things like that weren\'t
copied from nature.

Maybe the greatest advance in human development was making fires and
cooking food. No animal does that.

Domestication of animals is a human innovation too.


Ants farm aphids and fungi. They also capture and keep slaves.
They probably did that long before humanoids appeared.

Jeroen Belleman
I doubt that humans learned about farming or slavery from studying
ants.

They learned about what might be edible and inedible by observing what the wildlife was eating.

Grass? Hay?

If you believe in evolution, humans were wildlife.

There must have been many occasions where famished humanoids tried
eating things they did not eat before. Plenty of time to experiment,
plenty of time to learn. Of course, not every experiment was a success.
Don\'t eat the stuff that made you feel ill last time. Don\'t eat the
stuff that killed the other guy.
