The first clear evidence for single cell organisms (blue greens and algea) are about 3.5 billions years ago, in the Pretozoic Era. The earliest for primates are estimated at around 65 million years back, following the end of the Mesozoic, the time of the dino's. The earliest era for apes is the Oligocene period, 35.4 million years ago. So in the overall time scale of earth, human development has been pretty damned fast. |
ok well this is true but i believe the post i was replying stated that they were unsure how it would be possible for primates to form initially... and that took a long time...
also the fast evolution of the human species may be due to the fact that our minds have a much wider opening for change and greet it with flexibility as opposed to other species, are ability to adapt has enabled us to evolve faster i believe. now that is a theory of my own! hurray for me!
oh and G. Adams i do agree with you in your last statement completey...
