yeah but you have to remember these "spears" are used for making a hole in a piece of wood.. not to actually spear other animals

still quite interesting though

No, it said to kill other animals. They put holes in trees to kill nocturnal animals.

As long as we don't discover any monoliths, we'll be okay.

No,

Quote

Primatologist Craig Stanford, of the University of Southern California (USC), not participating in the study, said the 22 observed instances of spearmaking are “stunning good evidence."

But only "one actual kill—and no visual evidence of the spear being used as a spear—weakens it," he said.

So its not actually spearing the animals like i said

Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.
