Acheulean villages

I ought to confess that i'm very sympathetic to the idea that Homo erectus had villages. Laugh at me. I promise not to cry. It's just that the jump from tool-using nomadic apes to agrarian villages seems like a big one. What Bednarik proposes does not seem that outrageous.

Update: This has been nagging me for the past day. Please let me clarify that "villages" should be just that... "villages" in quotes. I doubt whether they were villages as we understand the word now. It's just that a relentlessly nomadic model for the entire species doesn't sit well.
