TIL that Humans have been around for more than 40,000 years! I thought we started around 1000s of BC.

A 67,800-year-old hand stencil was discovered in a limestone cave on Muna Island in Sulawesi, Indonesia

The Madjedbebe rock shelter in the Australian Northern Territory show that people lived in Australia at least 65,000 years ago where stone tools, ground ochre for paint, and food remains were found.

I was curious so I looked around a little bit

Apparently the oldest stone tools found that can be attributed to hominids, are around 3 million years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldowan.

When only counting Homo sapiens, they have found tools that are around 315.000 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebel_Irhoud.

And that's just what we have actually found :)

		Also, while we don't have made statues that old, we do have manuports from 2-3 million years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuport Manuports are natural rocks in "funny" shapes, like faces or falluses, which are found back (far) out of place and often in the neighbourhood of other human remnants.

The Neanderthals were still around, until a few tens of thousands of years ago. We lived in the same time and place as them, and occasionally had kids together.

There are stone tools half a million years old. Who do you think made them?

Oh no, sir, you are definitely right and these infidels and their heretical ways will soon learn the wrath of the one true God.

Which is Zeus.
