So still quite recently, I think I want to say it's something like 50,000 years is now the

when they think they, they finally disappeared.

But the thing is about that, that that still means that they probably overlapped with our species, with Homo sapiens, right?

So like the first Homo sapiens were arriving in that area right around the time that,

homo floresiensis disappears.

So coincidence, you know?

I've been there as well.

My wife and I went there.

One of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.

I agree with you.

It is because we're used to, as you said, we're used to a world where the closest thing to us

It's very different.

It's pretty different.

And that is not the way the world has been for the vast majority of our species history.

For most of our species history, there were multiple types of human on this planet, and we interacted with them.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's right.

I mean, you know, you can think about how our species has gone to extreme places on Earth throughout history, right?

Antarctica, the bottom of the ocean, these kinds of, you know, very high mountains.

But we generally didn't go there to stay, right?

There's nobody that is living on Antarctica, like raising their kids there and these kinds of things.
