And, you know, I think the latest now, it keeps getting, I used to in lectures and stuff, see, you know, modern humans are now dated back to 140, 150,000 years. Well, and then I, well, then it was 180,000. They're finding skeletal remnants, whatever that looked like, hey, this looks like a modern human. The last I heard was maybe in Israel or Middle East somewhere.

I got to review this so I get up to date on it, but it might be as old as 200,000 years. But even conservatively, if we go 200,000 years, we're looking at maybe 7,000 generations of humans, modern humans. And in fact, a friend of mine sent me, that I interviewed, Martin Grant, oh, three, four months ago. He was telling me, you know, there's evidence that a lot of the

humans in prehistory actually had larger brains than we do. And I said, really? I hadn't really was not aware of that. So he sent me some articles. Yeah. 15% larger in some cases. And I'm going, okay, that does not seem to imply that they were dumber than us. Maybe they were smarter.

Maybe they weren't, but I mean, it certainly doesn't imply that they weren't as smart as us, but you figure if you look at the, since the scientific revolution, how far have we come since the days of Newton and Kepler and, you know. And how many generations is that?

Well, we can figure, say, three, four generations per cent. So 10, 12 generations, 15 maybe. I saw the old classic. Brian brought it up there.

Were they even the same species?

I mean, I know that's, when you interviewed Graham, did you talk about that? A little bit, a little bit. but he's done a whole lot more research on that than I have.

Interesting. So, I mean, it's, you know, there's, you know, there's, you know, I've been very interested in, in mound culture and monumental earthwork culture in, in America. Um, And so Emory University has a... has a whole collection of state reports and things from the 1800, even going back to the 1700s.
