Once again, reading between CNN's lines reveals that scientists are stupid.

Some paleontologist named Leslea Hlusko postulates that early humans used toothpicks. We are told that this is significant because it shows that these monkey-men were concerned with oral hygiene.

Suppose, for a moment, that you're a person of bestial intelligence. You hunt or gather for days in search of any food, let alone something large enough to get stuck in your teeth. When you pick up a blade of wild grass to insert into some cranny in your molar, it's going to be to dislodge the precious and succulent morsel for eating, not because you're concerned about a bright smile.

If this kind of half-assed scientistery keeps up, they'll probably undercover my remains in 10,000 years and deduce that I masturbated to keep the dust off of my penis.
