Evidence That Paleolithic Hominins Lived in Close Association With Weaverbirds and Their Basket Making Skills

The purpose of this article is simple. I argue that early hominins, almost two million years ago, lived in close proximity to Weaverbirds who built elaborate nests. And because of this, it is probable that they learned initial weaving and knot making skills along with basket making, derived from the complex and well-constructed nests of these birds.
If this is true, then the origins of basket making and weaving began almost two million years ago instead of tens of thousands of years ago, as is currently believed. And this fundamentally changes the story of hominin technology which in turn affects the narrative of human evolution.
In this article, I cite specific scientific evidence, current mainstream thought and expert opinions to make my case.
