“Early humans”? Humans, essentially modern from a biological point of view, had been around for a hundred thousand years by then.

Yeah, if you talk about humans as intelligent self aware beings there's been humans here on Earth for several hundreds of thousands of years. That's what I gatter after reading several books in this theme.

Perhaps they mean early as in 'for dinner'. The official line is that humans may have only been in South America for a few centuries at that point, although there are some who think that there may have been an earlier wave of habitation.

12,000 B.C. was a major cataclysm that erased the last few pieces of the previous civilization, so it's more or less okay to call 10,000 B.C. as an early period of [this] civilization since people had to start from scratch.

  Yeah. From what I know. There's no conclusive evidence to this but, there were some , very advanced civilizations on Earth, hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago. Even more advanced then hours. Then cataclisms happened, their civilizations imploded etc. And disappeared with very few traces left.

    The big canary in the official timeline is the sudden cutoff date at that time. However the unofficial chronicles are very detailed about what exactly happened and when. From those chronicles, it was a black people civilization, it was massive, advanced, but didn't have any tech in the modern sense, it was on the rise when 850,000 B.C. it suffered the first major cataclysm (this matches with the official timeline when the earth poles got swapped), so I suppose the total lifetime of that civilization was close to 2 million years. For comparison, were only 14,000 years old - toddlers in some sense.

    An expedition led by Dr. William Dyer uncovered the remnants of such a civilization in Antarctica in 1930. Tekeli-li!

    Sounds fascinating! Where can I read some original sources?
