A new discovery on an old find has revealed engravings on a shell made by Homo erectus in Asia. They certainly have an aesthetic quality and it is very tempting to see them as an expression of symbolic thought – literally bringing into form what is in the mind. Many (I among them) thought only Homo sapiens (us) were capable of this but now I am not so sure. Time for a radical rethink about our distant ancestors.
