WaDef7,

To be fair when it comes to this kind of research comparison with modern hunter gatherer societies is the closest thing you can find to evidence, some things never enter the archaeological record.

Perhaps we'll never find conclusive evidence pointing to any one of the theories on these missing-finger handprints.

e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper

I’m reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can’t draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can’t search and the physical paper pile up quickly....

WaDef7,

Many people here are talking about buying an iPad and the pencil, but if all you're doing is reading papers I think this is a massive overspend. There are many inexpensive android tablets that come with pencils plenty good enough for handwriting or non-artistic drawing.

Of course, you say you have a job so you're likely not to need to buy the cheapest thing possible (even if you don't, you're not forced to buy an iPad, Samsung's tablet software is quite good), but I don't want someone with the same use case, who might just be a student, to get the impression they need to spend a grand to read pdfs.
