I'm so glad that other people here are interested in what life was like in deep time. I find it so fascinating getting these little glimpses into worlds that lie buried beneath us, and just to tantalizingly out of reach.

What blows my mind is that the homo-lineage was around for a million years, and they're finding we interbred many times throughout that time.

It was only in the last 10-20k years or so where farming emerged.

I don't know, but I think it's incredible how little time has passed relatively compared to our long history, of us being domesticated.
