    The great bulk of humans are remarkably
    dull and unimaginative. They doggedly
    resist change and new ideas, even when
    the evidence is overwhelming. See, for
    example, the resistance to the evidence
    for the burial practices of h.naledi.

    BUT there are usually a few (a tiny number)
    of clever humans (as there are clever rooks)
    who are willing to experiment. When a new
    technique yields great and immediately
    obvious benefits (such as a primitive form
    of sewing) it will probably be copied.

    Humans used holed needles 50ka

    Oldest ones found. Could well have been
    in use 200 ka or 500 ka. Probably mostly
    female work and therefore coastal and
    lost, especially with sea-level rises.

    The tailor-bird technique -- making a hole
    through both pieces of fabric, and then
    manually threading a cord through -- has
    probably been in hominin repertoire for a
    few million years.

    1 of every 6 million crickets is an Einstein who invents electric stoves and space rockets, then gets eaten by a cockroach.

    Stick w/ scifi.
