Isn’t it interesting that findings of intelligent homo-sapien life is usually about 14,000 years old? Almost like something happened on this planet around that long ago that led to intelligent “Man”.
As long as your assessment of intelligent “man” doesn’t include a white heterosexual male, you’ll be okay. So saith the entire entertainment industry.

BTW, smart guys could have been all over the place 125,000 years ago during the last big interglacial, but that came to an end and the ice came back grinding everything into poop.
