>>3829227>they honestly think it’s genetically possible that modern humans emerged with high level thinking 10,000 years agoI remember I used to illustrate an encyclopedia of some sorts a couple of years ago and one of my tasks was to create a timeline for human evolution and development in general.
It seemed that compared to every other part of nature, modern humans really don't fit well into the whole timeline. Either humans are a really complicated mutation or there was some outside influence to boost their development. Humans aren't natural - that was the feeling that gnawed on me the whole time I did that timeline. I mean, officially it took millions and hundreds of thousands of years for humans to evolve and start forming civilizations but just a couple of thousand to just explode and develop the means to just wipe out everything on the surface of the earth.
It felt really weird... I don't illustrate encyclopedias anymore.
