how long do you think humans have been on earth?

[kloth]

what's YOU'RE guess? and how did you come up with this conclusion?

and i don't mean since they were born.

 

[YmirGF]

Humans, as being recognizable to ourselves, are a relatively recent event. SO..... allowing for Cro-Magnon... say, 60,000 years give or take?


From memory, of what I have read over the decades... my memories as an amoeba are a bit hazy...

How long have humans been around? This long. ...And, this long. ...And, this long. ...And...

Being human is what happens in the moment.

 

[Breathe]

what's YOU'RE guess?

About 250,000 years?

and how did you come up with this conclusion?

The works of evolutionary biologists?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Too long, and not long enough.

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

Not long enough to be in their final stable form, if ever.
Expect changes.
Then re-ask the question.

 

[Sunstone]

Estimates vary, but I like to go with 260,000 years.

Do we win a prize if we beat the pool?

 

[DallasApple]

50 billion years or so.

Humans made in God's image and likeness have only been around for approximately 6,000 years. Humans of a hominid nature much longer.

Science and the bible.

About 250,000 years, according to biologists.

Hmmm..that's interesting .I thought God made everything in 6 days.

But I'm a DINOSAUR!!!!!

Contact the media, it's a biological miracle.

The tiny arms and giant, tooth-filled mouth were a dead giveaway.

 

[DallasApple]

I always thought so! Thank you for agreeing with me!

 

[DallasApple]

See everyone agrees!

God created the universe billions of years ago. The Hebrew syntax of Genesis 1:1-2 supports a pre-existing earth. The events after verse 2 denote a renovation of the surface of the earth and introduces the creation of man in God's image. Man, in some other form, could have existed prior to the earth's apparent destruction.

 

[Vinayaka]

At least 100 000 years. Time sure flew.

 

[Windwalker]

Biologically, about 200,000 years. Behaviorally, as modern humans about 50,000 years. Culturally, about 12,000 years. Major religiously, about 3000 years. Intelligently, not yet exactly.
