@caitlinrgreen I wonder where the wearing of rings comes from? Where do we find the oldest occurence of wearing rings?
@JAJafri Rings were apparently in use in the early Upper Palaeolithic in northern Asia: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Nl2yAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA312&lpg=PA312#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/UKHDglC3W4
@caitlinrgreen Thanks! That's The earliest in Eurasia! Is there any evidence of modern humans with rings before leaving Africa? @razibkhan
@JAJafri @razibkhan Not sure, lot earlier than I deal with! Believe earliest jewellery (beads) is c.100k years old, for what it is worth...
@m39618462 indeed! :)
@caitlinrgreen you're too young to have been hoeing onions in the 1960's :-)
Beautiful workmanship
@JohnNewsham1 lol! True on both counts ;)
@caitlinrgreen
Fabulous craftsmanship 
@GrassfarmerNick Oh, absolutely---tremendous skill!
@caitlinrgreen You were hoeing onions in the 1960's? I had no idea.
