    The wooden artifacts from Schöningen’s Spear
    Horizon and their place in human evolution

    large size of most of the spears makes use as fishing implements less
    likely and evidence of spear fishing or fish consumption is generally
    sparse at sites predating the Upper Paleolithic."

    Actually, it would go more like this: "it completely
    confirms our view"

    The paper on endurance running and hunting would
