Here's a less typical #Boxgrove handaxe than the ones we usually share. Not as beautiful as some but no less skill in its manufacture. It's had a long life and has been sharpened many times. With this one the butt is lovely and symmetrical but the tip is reduced, lumpy and jagged

Coverage in the Observer today of recent research comparing the #Boxgrove hominin remains to those from Sima Los Huesos.

Some thoughts about what it neans from Chris Stringer and myself.
