"Marean figured the early people, probably women, had to trudge two to
three miles to where the mussels, clams and snails were harvested and
to bring them back to the cave."

The idea that Marean (et al.) had the faintest
idea of how far away the coast was at the time
is, of course, crazy. It might have been 100
metres. It might have been ten miles.
