It depends on what the meaning of "stone throw" is. I will attempt to respond to your question "Why does that have to turn into a stone throw?" in the same painstaking manner in which you so steadfastly research and present gloom and doom theories about BHUB et al.
The throwing of objects dates back thousands of years to the pre Cro Magnum period when hominoids first discovered that they could cause damage to other creatures by hurling objects like stones at them. After extensively researching all aspects of stone throwing, I feel I am ready to analyse and formulate an opinion on the validity of your question "Why does that have to turn into a stone throw?"
Stone tools are the oldest traces of human activity. The theories of the origin of humans vary widely and have been at the center of heated debates for hundreds of years. Despite our modern technology and advances in the sciences, concrete evidence is still lacking to prove any of these theories. Creationists believe that man was simply created in a modern form and did not evolve from more primitive creatures. Those subscribing to the belief in evolution believe that man's beginning is founded in early mammalian evolution. Certain lizards evolved into mammals, those mammals gave rise to apes and monkeys and finally, man emerged from these primates through a progression of species leading to modern man, Homo sapiens. Finally, some subscribe to a hybrid theory as a combination of these two - man was created as "man" and went through a series of developmental changes. Theories aside, we all cannot argue the existence of prehistoric humans as we DO have concrete evidence from the presence of campsites, tools and artifacts that date back as far as over two million years and have been found throughout the world.
One of the most important artifacts of primitive man is the existence of stone tools. The PALEOLITHIC Period is defined as the time from the first use of stone tools around two million years ago to the Pleistocene Period, 12,000 years ago. The Paleolithic Period is divided into three categories, Lower, Middle and Upper Paleolithic Period. Four basic traditions (and time periods) of their manufacture have been identified:
OLDOWAN / DEVELOPED OLDOWAN (2 million to 1.5 million years ago)
ACHEULIAN (1.5 million to 150,000 years ago)
MOUSTERIAN or MIDDLE STONE AGE or MIDDLE PALEOLITHIC (200,000 to 30,000 years ago)
LATE STONE AGE or UPPER PALEOLITHIC (30,000 to 10,000 years ago)
While signs of developing Neanderthals arose 300,000 years ago, true Neanderthals can first be attributed back to 150,000 years ago. They populated regions in Europe and the Near East, and existed right up to just 30,000 years ago in western France. Between 125,000 and 100,000 years ago, the Neanderthals spread east and south, and they are known in northern Africa and from France through southern Europe, the former southern Soviet states and Iraq. Current evidence shows that despite Neanderthals' stockier build, they share several key features with modern man. There is also clear evidence that they had control of fire, lived in caves or open-air structures of stone and vegetation,
I welcome any responsible rebuttal to my research by anyone who, like me, has now devoted my life to researching and answering these questions.
