History Lost

Humans appeared over 200,000 years ago. Written records begin 6,000 years ago.
That means 97% of history is lost.
Do you think it took us 194,000 years to learn how to write?

I mean, as far as we can tell yeah. Sure history still happened, just not a lot of it because it took a while for agriculture to arrive and societies to form

i'd say humans appeared much longer than 200,000 years ago. maybe few millions, possibly even billions.

Humans are a continuum. There is no real date/time when humans appeared. It is all totally arbitrary.

most historians now days don't take the word of humans from even a few thousand years ago.. 200 year old men, cyclopses, talking snakes?

Maybe we had better ways to communicate back then for all we know. Maybe we used telepathy or something else we lost along the way as we "evolved"

because i am assuming the number stated is based off of evidence, but evidence is lost as well as history. like orgonecofusion mentioned, we cant put a number on it.

evidence is lost, new evidence is found, we still have a somewhat accurate idea of when 'we' appeared

I'm pretty sure humans appeared a few trillion years ago.

Actually the only true human appeared in 1953 and then they broke the mold.
