The human civilization... the times when human beings took notice of wisdom is hardly 10,000 years old. It is around 3000 BC that Vedas came into existence. 10,000 years from now came king Rama. Vedas are words of God directly delivered to mankind through Shruti.
After the advent of the Vedas... humanity took its shape. Subsequently followed Lord Krishna about 3600 years from now! He gave to the community the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred document existing on Mother Earth. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all... gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
Around 500 BC came Mahavira, 77 years later followed Gautama Buddha, about 423 years later Jesus Christ and finally Prophet Mohammed.
Any period before 10,000 years when human beings definitely existed was the formative years. Mankind was still struggling with the bare necessities of life; their behavior was not much different from their counterparts... the animals! As ethics and moral took its roots... the society became more organized. Instead of fearing all animals... it learned to tame some of them.

The race we call Homo Sapiens is only about 200,000 years old. However the race developed onto a higher level since then, so our generation can be called a new race. Or maybe not. Humans are fairly old, they need more time to successfully understand their place in evolution.

Living human beings are 115 years old. The species SAPIENS is about 200,000 years old. The genus HOMO about 2.5 million years ago. The family HOMINIDAE about 7 million years ago. Just in case the life expectancy range is from 33 to 83.

as old as human science has it. However, the concious form has existed long before the human form. Human beings as a type have existed only for around 300,000 years.

Maybe billions of years or forever. We come from elsewhere, I'm sure. They see footprints and forest remains on Mars now.
The evidence for human evolution on earth just doesn't add up.
Heaps of dinosaur bones have been found (from over 65million yrs ago) but no link between homo erectus, neanderthal and sapien (max 1 million yrs)?????

1 day old...or even i sec old...or even i minute second old...
even one selfless thought in the mind of the man...makes him a "human being".
the point is the time when the selfless thought came into his mind.
what if a man is having a selfless thought right now...so then right now a human is born.

I'm 63. I'm one of the few 'human' beings left on the world.
To misquote Admiral Nelson, 'I see no humanity.'
