Must have been needed for progression. RNG is a monster sometimes.
They've gone far away, to the temple of Rocks, to find the perfect rock to fit their weapon.
Is walking 8 miles particularly notable? Is it a typo and they mean 18 miles or something? For someone reasonably fit 8 miles is maybe a 2 hour walk. You'd leave in the morning and be back for lunchtime.
I regularly walk that far before breakfast.
They didn't walk 8 miles to do a Marathon, they didn't walk 8 miles for any type of food. They walked 8 miles to find a perfect rock.
To find the perfect tool. Sounds reasonable.
I mean in modern times mining companies have instigated wars for 'rocks'
The notable part is that it indicates sophisticated tool making behavior 600,000 years before we previously thought it occurred.
I also recommend using Tor to access websites. Knowledge should be a right.
