It was necessary, and thus inevitable. When our ancestors got here,
and needed something to make sandwiches with, marmite hadn't been
invented yet.
Foxes and badgers love peanut butter sandwiches!

But the sandwich hadn't been invented either.

But beer had. When were beer nuts invented?

Yeah, I was thinking post posting that stone knives have been around for
a long time. According to your post, they're 2-1/2 orders of magnitude
older. If I change my post to "metal knives", I'm probably closer to it.
