So early humans wore bear pelts to stay warm?

Colour me surprised?

Killing a bear with just sticks and rocks is pretty impressive though.

Oh yeah, but I always assumed early humans were badass? They didn't have time to waste pondering the nonsense we do.

They were badass. Even in nomadic lifestyles, because they combined their efforts, they had a ton of free time on their hands. Some American Indian tribes from just a couple hundred years ago could pack up and move to follow their game within 30 minutes or less. Or else it was free.

Can be avoided, just wait for the bear to die. Bears die by themselves if you wait.

Don't the bears hibernate, in a den or cave? Just the time to cut their throats and fabricate Bearskin robes by Brooks Brothers.

Humans were in the arctic 320,000 years ago?

Homo Heidelbergensis, not homo sapiens. We evolved in Africa and migrated out to populate the world. To pick a random ancestor the human/chimpanzee last common ancestor (CHLCA) is theorized to possibly be graecopithecus, whose fossils were found in southern Europe. So at some point between CHLCA and homo sapiens our ancestors migrated into Africa and stayed there. The implication is that other human species could have left Africa sooner, or never came in the first place.

The revelation here isn't what they were doing, but further evidence regarding when they were doing it.
