Isn't 476kya BEFORE the last glacial? Or maybe even the previous one?

Yup.

476k years makes the advanced civilizations theorized before the younger dryas period look infantile. That was a mere 12,000 years ago.

If this is true, it's really big news.

Bronze is made with a mixture of tin and copper two things that are rarely colocated. You can make tools and weapons out of copper so its entirely likely we had a copper age before a bronze one.

Sumer at the beginning had army using copper helmets and kind of armour.Good against stone weapons,i quess.
