Something Doesn't Add Up

>human specie is ~200k years old >known history of human species is more or less 10k >it took 10k years to progress from smashing rocks to visit mars >these 190k years were all cavemen something doesnt add up

A crude drawing shows a blank-faced person looking at a computer while considering humanity’s timeline. The joke points out that humans supposedly existed for 200,000 years, but recorded history covers only about 10,000, implying that the other 190,000 years were spent as cavemen. It is used as an absurd reaction to perceived inconsistencies or unexplained gaps in history.
