  Interesting that they repeatedly use the word “hominims” and not “humans.” The point being that hominims includes all species of humans and chimpanzees.

  So, they’re talking about any of a number of possible human species (there were six as recently as 50Kyrs ago) and possibly even some very clever chimps.

    It’s only very recently seen other great apes enter the Stone Age.

    So this is either humans, or a now-extinct species, I guess?

      Well, they specifically said “hominims,” which has a tight definition that I explained above.
