Anywhere you see red soil, red rocks or red water, follow that and you'll find red ochre. Red ochre is just clay with iron in it–the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's not even older, and that's always the direction new discoveries amend it. The Upper Paleolithic Revolution is certainly older and more gradual if you look at the African evidence (as in, clear evidence of migration), but I don't think this has really overturned paleoanthropology.
