    Either I missed it or the author assumed we were both on the same page: GBY seems to be a spot on a river just north of the Sea of Galilee.

    GBV continues to be the band, who are due to release albums with each of these names within the next five years.

      GBY is Gesher Bnot Ya'akov, an archeological site in Israel, it’s in the first paragraph of the abstract.

      The site also has been dated to ~790,000 years old. Also was hard to find in a quick skim. So, direct evidence of the types of firewood humans have been using for the better part of a million years. Neat.

    Fascinating paper, providing great evidence that our ancestors were maximizing resources hundreds of thousands of years ago.

      Our ancestors have been “maximizing resources” for hundreds of millions of years, and all our living relatives alive today continue to do so.
