“We were flummoxed. These things were just not supposed to be there.” Any history/science story that contains a quote like that is usually worth reading. And so it is: the New York Times has a story up about the discovery of 130 000-year-old stone tools that have been discovered on the island of Crete.
That's the island of Crete... as in, the island that knuckle-dragging cavemen would've had to somehow sail to.
