That is a scorpion. As drought ravaged the once lush Arabian Peninsula, early Homo sapiens moving through the desert to the monsoon-soaked areas along the coast would be forced to adjust to a drastic change in their diet.

It's going to come for you. With hunting large mammals no longer an option, protein from small rodents and insects became the new reality.

Careful, that stinger, Bill. It can still pinch too for a minute.

Okay, these spear points are like using an atomic bomb to take out an ant.

Yeah, these are built for large animals, not scorpions and baby lizards.
