Everything we have learned since 1950 about Humans is more and more precisely showing that:
1. Humans from 200,000 BC and 2023 are Anatomically and Behaviorally (read =/= culturally) identical
2. Life prior to the Quaternary Megafauna extinction (~12-10,000BC) was mostly peaceful and harmonious with a lot of play, community and health in contrast to what "history" has told us
Part of the challenge to explaining this stuff IMO is how loose writing like this plays with time periods. The author discusses an engrossing story about a near-neolithic transitioning from Paleolithic family (14,000BC) and slams immediately to tell about an early proto-human dig (1.8-2M), and then slamming all the way back to 10,000 BC.
I don't know how that could do anything but make readers confused about the extreme Time (1,800,000 BC vs 10,000 BC) and Biological differences between these periods and just reinforces peoples completely wrong and destructive assumption that anything prior to the year 0 was a "cave man" wandering around with a club.
