Our time here is a tiny, tiny fraction of the Earth's timespan. Hundred years ago we started industrializing. Before that, we were all running on steam and fire. Civilization only started 7000 years ago. Homo sapiens came into existence around 300,000 years ago. A couple of million years earlier, we had monkeymen/homohabilis. Then 60 million years ago, we had dinosaurs. Another 165 million, we still had dinosaurs. Then a billion years ago we had things that were kind of like animals. 3.7 billion years ago is when life started and microbes appeared.

It's fucking wild to think our time here is a speck in reality. So many things lived and died over billions of years. When you put things into perspective, it's all so grand and wild.
