Since we know that the oldest human remains are from East Africa.........and date.....give or take......say 6 million years...........and they seem to be hiding something in the congo river basin...........and that north of where they found the oldest human remains............which is Ethiopia.....Tanzania.........etc.........is the Sahara..........and couple that with cave man and cave woman are a bit of a misnomer..........why?  Caves do not exist everywhere..........so if u are a pre hominoid...........an early biped.........and wanted shelter..........a lot to eat............a forest........like a rain forest.........i.e. the Congo river basin would be perfect.............and it is not all that far west from Ethiopia...............


Back to this..........and why i think it may have been the start of written language........i.e. ......math........why would math be more likely to be the 1st thing humans started writting down?????  Well, look at language..........any language.......concepts........like peace, justice, love.......those are more abstract...........than like 5 logs..........4 twigs..............9 bolders..........etc........that u may need to build a shelter........

At one end of the Ishango Bone is a piece of quartz for writing, and the bone has a series of notches carved in groups (shown below). It was first thought these notches were some kind of tally marks as found to record counts all over the world.
