Hominids have existed for about 2.5% of geological time, which dates back to around 4.4 billion years. The earliest hominids emerged around 6-7 million years ago, while Earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years.

How long have homo-sapians exsisted?

That's open to argument, but at least 40,000 years, and probably twice that (and maybe 3 times as long). Something close to us has been around for 2 million years, and hominids for 5.


What other hominid's existed at the same time as humans in ancient times?

Homo neanderthalensis, or more commonly known as Neanderthals, overlapped with Homo sapiens. This group of hominids, grouped under the genus Homo, did indeed live at the same time but in different parts of the world. The only hominid species which still exists today is H. sapiens, which are modern day humans. Neanderthals went extinct about 5,000 years after Homo sapiens reached Europe, the continent in which Neanderthals are thought to have gone extinct-during a cold period in Europe.


What person was the first to be bullied?

It is difficult to pinpoint who the first person to be bullied was, as bullying behavior has likely been around for as long as humans have existed. However, instances of bullying can be found throughout history, such as in ancient civilizations and in more recent times.


Which hominids made composite tools?

Man began hunting with stone-tipped spears 460,000 years ago? Archaeologists says: analysis of 210 stone tools from the site of Kathu Pan in South Africa shows that people were probably hunting with stone-tipped spears by about 460,000 years ago. If the Cro-Magnons (45,000-12,700 years ago),could not perform the most primitive complex tools, which is a piece of sharp stone embedded in a bone handle – how hominids before 460,000 years, could perform hafted spear tips, which is more complicated? The first composite tools were performed by Homo sapiens (from about 12,700 BP), not by Cro-Magnons. Stone tools of Cro-Magnons were never embedded in a bone handle, but always held in hand. Although stone tools embedded in the bone handles are a “hundred times” more efficient than stone tools held in the hand, neither the Cro-Magnons nor their predecessors (from 2.6 million of years), did not make this kind of most primitive composite tools. Why? Because they were still not humans, but hominids living at the level of instinct.


When did humans begin to dream?

It is believed that humans have been dreaming for as long as our species has existed, dating back to prehistoric times. Dreaming is a natural part of human sleep cycles and has been a subject of curiosity and study across different cultures and civilizations throughout history.

Does a twenty percent chance for rain mean that it will rain over twenty percent of the area or that of the last one hundred times these conditions existed it rained twenty times?

The last one hundred times that these conditions existed, it rained twenty times ... is a good way of describing that forecast. According to The National Weather Service, Probability of Precipitation, or PoP, is defined as,"PoP=C x A where C= the confidence that precipitation will occur somewhere in the forecast area and where A= the percent of the area that will receive measurable precipitation, if it occurs at all. It is the likelihood of occurrence (expressed as a percent) of a precipitation event at any given point in the forecast area. Since the equation used to arrive at PoP contains a value for "Percent of Areal Coverage", the result of the equation produces a number that also expresses the percent of areal coverage.
