    there have been some studies that other hominids (neanderthal and denisovians that lived in asia) lived 10-20k years ago. i find that so wild, at the 10k years ago estimate, we were only 4-5k years off from having a recorded history of them! wouldnt that have been fascinating to read? also the full gamut of human racial characteristics had developed by this point. it would have been truly interesting to travel and meet all these different species, let alone the fact that humans would be as varied as they are today

    ugh

      How strange that we had a hand in killing off most of the other hominids, yet wonder whether or not we're the only 'intelligent species' out there.
