Humanoid species have been on the planet, correct me if I'm wrong here, about 40,000 years Slight Correction: Homo habilis is the earliest known species of the genus Homo; that is, the first human species. It existed from approximately 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago in east Africa wsu.edu:8001/vwsu/gened/learn-modules/top_longfor/timeline/habilis/habilis-a.html Many of the arguments counter to evolution, especially those used by creationists, use timelines that were first argued in Darwin's day, before our Civil War. At that time the Earth was thought to be about 100 million years old based on an assumption that the Earth began as a molten ball of material the residual heat in volcanoes could be explained solely by the cooling since then. Radioactive materials and their ability to keep the center of the Earth hot for billions of years had not yet been discovered. Some important misconceptions were accepted in those days to explain a much more rapid pace of evolution than what really happened (and some more to explain similarities in fossils that we now know as evidence of contenental drift and former unified landmasses). Much more is now known about when people evolved and where they traveled. TP
