Have you ever thought how many humans in your family tree came before you so you could be standing here today...
On the biggest steps in early human evolution scientists are in agreement. The first human ancestors appeared between five million and seven million years ago, probably when some apelike creatures in Africa began to walk habitually on two legs. They were flaking crude stone tools by 2.5 million years ago.
We typically estimate about 20 years per human generation (with the exception of recent history). Since anatomically modern humans first arose about 200 thousand years ago, this is about 10,000 generations of modern humans.
If you pick the 5,ooo,ooo year mark there has been 250,000 generation to get to here in today time... That means 250,000 humans lived in your family tree so you could be here today.
125,000 generation from the we started chipping rocks or 125,000 people live so you could be here today...
Modern man goes back 200,000 year so something like 10.000 generations/people have lived so we can be here today...
