As I was reading a New York Times article on new discoveries in anthropology (registration required) (summary: they found some skulls; bickering ensues), I found it humorous that various human evolutionary levels were associated with particular skill levels in making and using stone tools. Because, while I may know my way around a web site, if one were to drop me into the middle of Chad with nothing more than a smile as my umbrella, I doubt I would rise to the proficiency of a Homo erectus, much less one of them fancy sapiens boys.
