>>103781134Well, that video is a lot of shit. Not that humanity is not older than the textbooks say, but thousands of millions is a fucking stretch. The core problem is the assumption that the planet's evolution took place over billions of years. All those cycles of new lifeforms replacing each other took way less time, sometimes mere thousands. Uniformitarianism (assumption that Earth was in the same orbit around the present sun and all changes happened super slowly over billions of years) is just that: an assumption. Once it is better understood that the planet changed its orbit, several times, and relatively fast (introducing catastrophic weather patterns that wiped lots of life), then the pre-history of humanity will make a lot more sense.
That is more theory than a hard claim though. But know what? Next time you look at ancient carvings on rock like from Egypt and Sumeria and S. America and even Europe (and cave paintings, don't forget those), take a shot every time you see a variation of THIS thing. One day you'll understand what it is.
