“...nine out of 10 species on Earth today, including humans, came into being 100,000 to 200,000 years ago...”
So? How many species that we know of from the Cambrian “came into being” inside a very small timeframe? The entire history of life on this planet is full of sudden explosions of life, as well as sudden erasures of entire ecosystems. This has been known for years; indeed, the Cambrian “explosion” has actually been called that for decades. There have been a number of articles about this “discovery” over the last month or so, and they all distort the finding so as to present it as something never before seen that challenges everything science knows about the development of life.
I’m not saying it’s aliens buuuuut......
“...nine out of 10 species on Earth today, including humans, came into being 100,000 to 200,000 years ago...”
of course most of the thread responders are reading that statement and disregarding the word ‘today’...
