Scientist Mars Important Discovery By Using Terrible Cliche

“This discovery dramatically shifts the known timeframe of a game-changing behavior for our ancestors. Tool use fundamentally altered the way our early ancestors interacted with nature, allowing them to eat new types of food and exploit new territories. It also led to tool making-a critical step in our evolutionary path that eventually enabled such advanced technologies as airplanes, MRI machines, and iPhones.”
–Dr. Zeresenay Alemseged, from the California Academy of Sciences, on the cut marks he and his team found in 3.4-million-year-old animal bones in Ethiopia. The discovery, reported in Nature magazine, is amazing; it pushes back the scientifically established estimate of earliest tool-usage by 900,000 years. But, God, can people stop saying “game-changing” so much?
