Pretty crazy how that’s not even 1k years ago. Humans have been the same for like, at least dozens of thousands of years? Maybe even more?

Homo sapiens (with the exact hardware that we carry today) emerged ~300k years ago. Wikipedia says-

"Humans began exhibiting behavioral modernity about 160,000–70,000 years ago, and possibly earlier."

I think modern hardware would be more like 200k, no? I believe 300k is robust/archaic Homo sapiens.
