 You're saying this because I pointed out that blades are known
to have been in use for millions of years..
 

         BTW, those sickles resemble blades

 They're made up of a number of blades identical to those in use
for millions of years. That's all. They just took a number of
blades of a type produced for millions of years and set them
in wood to create a sickle.
 

instead of having multiple micro-blades, you can have one long blade.

 That is infinitely more difficult, working with flint or
obsidian, than is using multiple blades (or a type produced
for millions of years).

Your main agenda on this news group is to talk about stone tools. Please, take *any* book about paleoanthropology or about stone tools, the simplest one, the basic, you don't have to read it all through, just read the basics, maybe only you have to read the titles, nothing more, please. Otherwise the discussion with you is completely senseless. You even don't know the basics, for god's sake. The basics. You have Wikipedia, for god's sake, that should be enough. But you don't read even that, and you have the courage to come here and talk BS. My god.
