Same here. We have NO CLUE how old this planet really could be, or who could have been here before us. There could have been people far more advanced than us living here, but they are gone, evidence of their existence erased by time.
If we all vanished right here, right now, 100,000 years from now(a blip in time in the grand scheme of things) it would be debatable whether or not we even existed. I don't believe we know nearly as much as we think we do. As a matter of fact, we are probably so clueless, we don't even know about what we don't know....
I agree. The oldest known RC date for a cultivated grain sample is 14K years ago (uncalibrated); 14,000 goes into 2 million almost 143 times. :’)
bump to that.
good post
