is thought to be approximately seven million years old.

Doesn't it seem that in seven million years we should have advanced further than we have.

One would have hoped...

There's a great scene/line in the movie "Strange Days" that makes the same point.

Scene: Lenny (Ralph Feinnes) comes out of a store to see his car about to be towed away. He runs across the street to try to see if he can convince the tow truck driver to leave his car alone. As he runs up to the tow truck driver, calling out "wait, hold it, let's talk about this" in a non-threatening manner, the tow truck driver whips out a gun and sticks it in Lenny's face with a menacing glare.

Lenny rolls his eyes, shakes his head, and in an exasperated voice asks, "Two million years of human evolution, and *that's* the best idea you can come up with?"
