According to anciet Hindu scriptures, the duration of one
Kalpa equals 8.64 billion years. It consists of 4 ages -
Krita Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga.
In medieval European texts, these ages are called
Age of Gold, Age of Silver, Age of Copper, and Age of Iron.
We are presently in Kali Yuga or Age of Iron. Humans
were created thousands of Kalpas ago.
Scholars of modern times say that Rig Veda was written
8000 years ago. But many ancient Hindu texts say that
Rig Veda was written at the beginning of the present
Kalpa - some 8 billions of years ago.

Depends.
Homo Sapiens Sapiens is about 40,000 years old.
Homo Sapiens is maybe twice that age. Humanoid primates go back to as much as 6 million years.
