oh yes! Anatomically modern humans have been around for like 200,000 years before we developed agriculture and started to develop permanent settlements!
I think the number is 600,000 years for how long we've been around in total.
I completely agree with you. If you actually think about it seriously our history as a species is amazing. Things like the discovery channel with the "Aliens" guy piss me off. It's a fundamental disrespect of what real people have done, and what we're capable of.
The long ramp up to what we have right now today is fascinating. No other animal has ever done anything like we have. From loin clothes to fire to farming is mind blowing. Hell, just one of those things is already way past every other species to ever live.
They kinda seem like jerks. My 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘰s tended to get along best in groups of a dozen dozen, enjoyed gossip, killing Neanderthals, and their fave: magical thinking.
