Comic #3947: paleoanthropology

Description

Here is the transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: Kid: "Dad, according to the museum, humans had modern brains for at least 100,000 years before they figured out how to make pottery! How did it take so long!"

Panel 2: Dad: "Well, the average lifespan was only about 25 back in those days."

Panel 3: Dad: "So, most people were probably just a few years out of college, maybe working as a barista and re-evaluating their choices, and WHAMMO! Gored by a mammoth."

Panel 4: Dad: "Others would've been in their third year of graduate education, just starting to work independently, when nearby tribes burned down their village, killed the men and enslaved the women and children."

Panel 5: Dad: "It was a much harder time. For instance, people didn't go to Burger King as often, because worldwide, the average household income was about $50 a year."

Panel 6: Kid: "Wowww…"

Panel 7: Kid: "How do you know so much about history?"

Panel 8: Dad: "Most of it's obvious."
