I, too, am on the flintknapping journey and it can be frustrating to say the least. I have my good days and the my gravel making days. Hope to get better.

Because these videos are for educational purposes and produced by an educational institution, they should be professionally captioned. The auto-generated captions on RU-vid do not satisfy the ADA reuqirements

@eliminator7ful 2 года назад

Perhaps these videos do not satisfy ADA requirements, however, you should understand that the ADA requirements make no sense. The world wide web was conceived from it's outset as a medium only for sighted people. It was a "graphical" interface medium. RU-vid, which show videos is also obviously graphical and at is basis designed for sighted and hearing humans. Maybe a company needs to come up with alternatives for humans with disabilities? Don't blame companies for not meeting requirements that are probably inherently silly. Companies can be created to support ADA, but when the platform is the world wide web, don't blame corporations. Blame politicians for passing silly laws.

Very Cool! When you are sitting on the table. with the skulls lined up to your right... the "brown" skull (the second one in the line)... which "family" does that skull belong to? Thanks :)

That last part where it is stated that shaping a stone tool overlaps the part of the brain that is used to create a sentence is interesting. I wonder if this means that someone with aphasia and can't say what they mean to say also can't do what they mean to do.

The is very interesting. I'm always curious about what mankind has done in the past to make tools and use them to survive. The real question is what would Bear Grylls do? haha

When I was young, we went to a museum and tried to make these stones. I made one and ruined it on myself, I only touched from above, but it got worse and I had a bandage on my finger, I did not know how I felt, stupid because I tried it on my interpretation or proudly because I am a very sharp rock even though I do not have experience

The Yanomami which have been described as a 'pre-stone age culture' make no stone tools but on occasion will find and use stone axes found from ancient Amazonian cultures. The Yanomami believe these are presents from their Hekura or personal spiritual sky clan.

@GoldenPantaloons 12 лет назад

Hm, interesting thought. How that pans out probably depends on the type of aphasia. Broca's aphasia can screw up people's motor functions, so they might be unable to do what they intend simply because they can't make coordinated muscle movements. Perhaps Wernicke's aphasia distorts intentional thought as much as it does language - such that a person intends to do one series of actions but it comes out all jumbled. Seems plausible considering Wernicke's patients have trouble with sign language.

@5tonyvvvv there are plenty of (christian) scientists out there who accept evolution as fact... francis collins for instance.. you know, he was the leader of a little thing called the HUMAN GENOME PROJECT.. he also wrote a book. i think he knows a bit more about homochirality than you do.

Of course, the simplest, most plausible, original stone tool is a pebble on a beach being used to crack open a shellfish... the most nutritious, brain-nutrient rich food on the planet. But let's keep ignoring that so students don't start thinking about any crazy "aquatic apes", right?

@auraweiss638 3 года назад

If you have to say something say it straight and stop being sarcastic. You dont even help people here that you seem to "want to help" by stressing what you said. I just started studying archeology and I have no idea if what you say is true or relevant or not (and you could be right), but if you write like that you just sound like a Conspiracy Theorist and I don't even want to listsen to you anymore. If you know that you are right, why dont you just write the facts in the comments instead of what you just did?

@whattalks 3 года назад

@@auraweiss638 Sorry. Thank you but I have been studying the so-called "aquatic ape theory" (the wading hypothesis of bipedal origins) for 25 years to PhD level and it infuriates me how Elaine Morgan's work (and others') continues to be completely ignored.

@@auraweiss638 Let me ask you... has the course mention the so-called "aquatic ape" idea? When I did my master's at UCL it was not mentioned (officially) at all. I kept bringing it up but otherwise none of my fellow students would have ever been exposed to it.

@brockunc Your waiting for evidence for creationism? LOL. OK, can you name 1 thing that you know for a fact was not created. Example: Have you ever found a (knife, can, dog, car, bobby pin, house, car, etc.) that wasn't created, that just formed by itself? that wasn't made by someone or something else with design and purpose? The Bible says were made in Gods image, hows that? Were creators and eternity has been placed in our heart. 2 Thess 2:10-12

@flatpat 8 лет назад

How can you lie to people and tell them that people were here two million years when many scientist say the earth is no more than ten thousand years old and man and woman came from two individuals. They will do anything to deny the bible because they don't want to be held accountable to their sin.

flatpat no scientist ever says that. there is no scientific evidence that points to your conclusion that earth is less than ten thousand years old. The earth has been proven to be much older. You don't accept it because it is against your beliefs.

flatpat you telling me that there were thousands of years of incest that lead to the population of humans? brothers having intercourse with their sisters. I thought it was a sin according your holy book.
