Early Hominids = Sailors?

Ahoy mateys! Some early hominids were seafarers, according to recent research. The evidence? Sizable caches of double-sided human hand axes dating back 130,000 years, found in nine separate sites in southwestern Crete.

Crete is an island (of course)--and has been for 5 million years. To get there, hominids must have sailed!
