Mousteroid
Mousteroid was a culture occurring during the period 80,000 - 50,000 BP of Central, Southern and East Africa. Examples of this culture are the tool-industry of the Middle Paleolithic in West Africa,[1][2] known from sites at Zenebi, Nigeria[3] and Tiemassas in Senegal.[4][5]
Dakar and Rufisque
The most important of the Western Senegal sites is Pte. de Fann in Dakar.[6] Classified Mousteroid, indicating similarities to industry Mousterian in form but neither akin to, nor at a temporal parallel. Other sites about Dakar and Rufisque, were part of a culture that had not occurred for sufficient duration for tools to be found at differing depths in the ground (without stratification).[7]

gollark: I would much prefer a giant plastic/metal cuboid with some holes in it over the bespoke designs of today if it was fairly modular.
gollark: Even if it costs half as much and you can actually replace bits?
gollark: It does seem like houses are overcomplicated in various ways, and poorly optimised for maintenance.
gollark: General robotics is still not very advanced compared to other AI things.
