Wow, did not know that! Amazing that nothing evolved in that time to develop human levels of intelligence. (Well, I think it is anyway).

What amazes me is that it seems quite modern humans existed for about 500,000 years and hardly advanced at all, then all of a sudden about 30,000 years ago we suddenly exploded with ideas.

I do wonder if interbreeding with Neanderthals was the key. It seems we are all in Eurasia at least hybridised with about 10% Neanderthal DNA.

Its because of Alien DNA falling in rain. Morgan Freeman told me this, was on the telly I tell you.

Apparently there are things on our DNA which no one can explain where they came from. One of them gave us our immune system. This was on through the wormhole on Discovery , good programme.

Yep - T-rex and Stegosaurus missed each other by around 83 million years, whereas there are only 66 million years between T-rex and Bieber.

Sadly, the safety of modern cars means that Bieber is unlikely to become extinct the way that T-Rex did.
