Fossilized footprints in Saudi Arabia show human traffic on the cusp of a subsequent ice age.
Like carbon dating, scientists use isotopes and context clues to calculate the approximate age of fossils.

Humans have been around, as a species, for 0.3 million years (approximately). The most recent 10,000 years are not a statistically representative sample of humans.

Thirsty - feeling thirst
Thirst - a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat associated with a desire for liquids, also : the bodily condition (as of dehydration) that induces this sensation

Jokes aside, why does everybody feel the need to gravitate towards the least popular definition here?
