Yeah, if I’m not mistaken, that’s about when agriculture started.

So easy to figure it out a cave man could do it.

Just because I’m lactose intolerant, that doesn’t make me a caveman!
My lice might, but not my digestion!

Why would a comet explode above the earth?
Sounds a little fishy to me. Like a convenient excuse that cooling and warming are not natural cycles but occur due to outside influences.

Comet killed these critters. Class is canceled for today!
:)
The funny thing is there are FReepers who think the earth only existed for 1/2 of this amount of time...

“Why would a comet explode above the earth?”
They are mostly ice...with a bunch of rocks. it gets superheated due to atmospheric friction, some interior ice turns to gas, the gas expands, and it goes kablooey.
Kablooey is a scientific term, and stuff.

Stuff - I understand. I think I can dredge “kerblooey” up from my chemistry classes.

And when it happens, if you are anywhere in the vicinity, you can say anything you want and no one will care.
Yup, they are that bad!

BTW, man 10-15 thousand years ago would have been very similar to modern man. A bath, a suit, and a touch of aftershave and he coulda passed in the finest clubs. I am not so sure.
When I see old movies and photographs from the 1950's and before, Americans back then--even apart from clothing, hairstyles, and women's makeup--look different from current Americans.
Some of this could be diet and lifestyle. And some of it could be from mixing in a more diverse gene pool . . .
Still, I dunno. We might have evolved enough over the last 50+ years to be noticeable.
From my personal perspective, Americans, especially the women, got better looking up until the 1990's.
Since then, they seem to be getting uglier.
To: Age of Reason
Ten thousand years from now, scientists will conclude that a comet explosion wiped out spandex and big hair at the end of the 1980s. Humanity will be preceived as vastly better off because of it. :)
