Canadian archaeologist Sheila Coulson of the University of Oslo
has uncovered a human ritual site and artifacts in Botswana. While
she will only date it to the Middle Stone Age, others of her team
say it dates to about 70 kya bp. If the dating is even remotely
correct its a sensation, and of course confirms "out of Africa".
