The entirety of human civilization, everything that you've read about has occurred in just the most recent 0.2% of our story.

And everything before that,

it's very likely that humans were doing more sophisticated things than the quote-unquote

mainstream explanation of prehistory allows for.

So, for example, they found...

There's a one million-year-old skull.

What is this?

The skull that was found in China in the 1990s you've just blown my mind

what's the single discovery that if it got mainstream attention would rewrite the history folks

overnight humans built this structure 476 000 years ago we thought humans didn't build buildings

until around 10 000 years ago look at the shift there almost half a million years but no

really talks about it's just got this tiny little wikiped. They were attacked, they were vilified. They basically had their careers ruined. He discovered this in the 1970s and couldn't get any academic funding. But he was eventually vindicated. He was like 75 by that point. We thought human beings were only 30,000 years old.
