Silly stuff. No way on God's green earth that human presence would go unsuspected, even millions of years in the future. First act of most human societies: vitrifying clay (pottery). It lasts essentially forever. Alien archaologists of the future will find remains of toilets everywhere, as a background noise of human existance.

Rather, it’s a thought experiment to get us thinking about how we would know if a pre-human civilization once existed, a point that might be too subtle for some netizens in our age of Ancient Aliens memes.
