Seems unreal. I only have the word of scientists and their written documents I haven't read to go on that humans have been around so long. Who knows what really happened.

fossil records suggest so, but like all fields of science there's no definite proof. but unless you've got a time machine you've got no way to find out for sure, so the best source we have is those fossil records.

Last thing I saw at the end of last year was some fossil evidence of modern humans 350k years ago, that really blows your mind.

Just think about how much of history is completely lost.

no. it's evidence. they tell a story, we just can't be sure it's the whole story.

this. could be that fossils before the oldest we've discovered are still out there or were destroyed. could be that some geological activity we dont quite understand shifted the ones we've found around and we've ended up dating them wrong. hell there's the slim chance we're fucking up radiometric testing with samples that old and we could be completely wrong with how old they are.

Its a piece of the story, sure, but its proof that humans did at least exist x amount of time ago, if not more so

No way, 200,000 years even seems a bit of a stretch. I thought it was closer to 100,000 years.

I'm more interested in the Neanderthals and Denisovans. How did they die off? What were they like? Also, they kind of looked like Tolkien Dwarves. Which means...dragons might have existed!

Hasn't all the nuclear radiation and nuclear weapons of humanity completely ruined carbon dating and radiometric testing, throwing it off by like, several thousand years?

That's only when humans developed what we can call advanced culture. Stuff like cave paintings etc. That doesn't mean humans weren't around much longer, just without the sophistication of culture.

Fossil are not real, its just a scultures made by ancient civilazation at that time

Depends on your definition of human. By anatomically modern Homo sapiens, yeah that's about right. If you include the entire Homo genus, humanity has been around for about two million years, with the understanding that there have been multiple human species.

Everything else are just made-up backstory for your 30-year-old world?

But even then, you could have been made yesterday, with implanted memories of the last 30 years.

It's insane that we can just accurately assume a figure that large when you think about it, and for it to have human DNA traces

It's crazy to think that since writing only existed for around 5000 years, that over 97% of human history is lost.

yea. I've seen it said somewhere that "humanity is a species with amnesia". most of our history is lost to the mists of time. and we can only guess at what happened.

Homo Habilis was over a million years ago. If anything it more unbelievable that we haven't found anything even earlier.

Well we have global catastrophes that date to certain periods that could of burned our paint off the walls and burnt the skins.

Your right though,look at the 3D lazer graphs their finding in South America of old civilizations lost to time.

Wasnt there a "cavemen" female found in South America dated back to like 120,000-200,000 years in the past several years?

Not only that, but they have found traces of history in Egypt older than what we originally thought, by around 100,000 years. And there's also evidence that suggests some of those humans are the descendants of extraterrestrials, such as elongated skulls and depictions of giants/craft in the hieroglyphics. The ancient civilizations (Egypt/Sumer/Babylonian/etc) called the Anunnaki their ancestors, or those from the "heavens".

Most stuff sounds outlandish or silly, but either way you look at it, it's all extremely fascinating to learn about imo.

This is most likely IMO.

Humans today are the evolutionary result of DNA mixing between Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalensis, and Homo Denisova
