years old was used for each spear, and its tip was made from
the base, where the wood is hardest. Each spear was de-
signed in the same proportions and—just as with modern cri-
teria—its center of gravity was one-third of the way back
from the sharp end.
In the face of all this information, Robin Dennell com-
ments:
These represent considerable investment of time and
skill—in selecting an appropriate tree, in roughing out the
design and in the final stages of shaping. In other words,
these [so-called] hominids were not living within a sponta-
neous ‘five-minute culture', acting opportunistically in re-
sponse to immediate situations. Rather, we see
considerable depth of planning, sophistication of design,
and patience in carving the wood, all of which have been
attributed only to modern humans. 20
Thieme, who discovered the spears, says:

The use of sophisticated spears as early as the Middle
Pleistocene may mean that many current theories on early
human behaviour and culture must be revised. 21
As Hartmut Thieme and Robin Dennell state, Darwinist
claims concerning the history of mankind do not reflect the
facts. The truth is, mankind never underwent evolution.
Backward civilizations and highly developed and advanced
ones both existed in the past.
