Prehistoric man was Palestinian
“The study of the prehistoric period is based on archeological remains from the caves of Palestine. The bones of the early Palestinian man found there prove that he was walking upright… During the New Stone Age (5,000-8,000 BCE) [parenthesis in source], the Palestinians discovered agriculture and built the town of Jericho, the most ancient city humanity has known, and domesticated animals.”
Note: The PA designation of early man as Palestinian is an anachronism. After the Jewish revolt was put down in 135 CE, the Romans changed the name of Judea/Israel to “Palaestina” to punish the Jewish nation. Until the creation of the State of Israel, all residents of the region, including Jews, were identified as Palestinians. According to the PA daily, the Arab population in the region did not have a Palestinian identity when Fatah was created in 1965, but years of Fatah’s terror, which it refers to as “military actions,” is what created the current Palestinian Arab identity.

Al-Asima is distributed with the official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida and lists as its "general supervisor" Othman Abu Gharbieh, who is a member of Fatah's Central Committee and the Secretary General of the Popular National Conference of Jerusalem, the PLO institution that publishes this bi-weekly.
