There are behaviors we stopped doing because of speciation. For each of those behaviors, there is a day in history in which one of our ancestors did it for the very last time. (lemmy.ml)

there's a forgotten chatroom somewhere out there, where you and your mates from middle school used to spend time on. at some point someone will send the last message, not even knowing it was the last one

imagine that but for proto-humans

Like the last time I picked up my daughter. Couldn’t even tell you when it was, insignificant at the time.

(She’s not gone or anything, she’s just older now lol)

Sounds like you should try picking her up again, just to prove a point

Yes :) this is what I mean. And we can go further back in time, beyond proto-humans. Our ancestry includes mammals, reptiles... all the way to single cells.
