From the article: "But archaeological evidence now shows that some of the behaviors associated with modern humans, most importantly our capacity for wide behavioral variability, actually did occur among people who lived very long ago, particularly in Africa. And a conviction is growing among some archaeologists that there was no sweeping transformation to 'behavioral modernity' in our species’ recent past."

I hope this helps. The article is quite interesting, and well worth a full-length read.

Or, if you prefer, we're still feces flinging monkees.
