Setting5/5
- One Million Years B.C. shows a version of the past where ancient humans regularly faced dinosaur predation and hunt megafauna that in reality, would have been extinct for tens of millions of years before this point.
- 1,000,000 BCE was a time when ancient human ancestors of the genus Homo lived in hunter-gather communities with early sociological and technological developments, such as managed fire and rudimentary stone tools. However, this period still predates the depicted modern human Homo Sapiens by several hundred thousand years. Instead, this period would be more accurately represented by members of Homo Erectus or another similar hominin group[1]Homo Erectus first emerged around 2 million years ago and is known for being the first hominin to migrate out of Africa, with some populations surviving to potentially as recently as 120,000 years agoPeter Bellwood, The Five Million Year Odyssey: The Human Journey from Ape to Agriculture (Princeton University Press, 2022)..
