Seeing how the popular claims are that tool making begins no later than habilis,
whose name means "handy man" as a nod to his tool making, and many stretching
it back a million years further than that, isn't 400k the work of underachievers?

The only thing "Systematic" is the non-news passed as news.

So a 90k year old scraper has WHAT relevance to a 400k year old tool?

See? See that? You habitually post random cites, behaving as if they are
somehow related to a previous cite.
