My last post today, the first draft write-up of human evolution and the beginnings of the timeline of this world. For the most part it's the same as real life. What else should I add/change?
20 mya - 15 mya: Hominidae speciate from Hylobatidae (Lesser Apes)

1,200 kya:"Homo Antecessor", the common ancestor of Modern Humans and Neanderthals, appears.
800 kya:"Homo Antecessor" goes extinct.
700 kya:"Homo Erectus" reaches Rhodin and Serratar
600 kya:"Homo Heidelbergensis" is present in southern Hatar. The Middle Paleolithic begins.
500 kya: Neanderthals and Denisovans diverge from one another
300 kya - 200 kya :Homo sapiens (Modern Man) appear in Ozara
250 kya: The Man(Adam) that all current people share DNA with is alive during this time.
200 kya:"Homo Heidelbergensis" goes extinct.
200 kya - 100 kya: The Woman(Eve) that all current people share DNA with is alive during this time.
170 kya: Clothing exists by this point.
160 kya: Mankind has death rituals at this point. The possible beginning of behavioral and anatomical modernity.
140 kya:"Homo Erectus" goes extinct.
110 kya: The last Glacial period begins.
100 kya - 50 kya: Modern man leaves Ozara to spread to other continents
75 kya: A supervolcano eruption in Equatoria almost destroys the Human race.
70 kya: Earliest abstract/symbolic art
64 kya: Bow and Arrow are invented in Ozara.
50 kya: Behavioral modernity is concrete at this point. The Upper Paleolithic begins
42 kya: Evidence of Flutes and Deep-sea fishing exist at this point
40 kya: Modern humans reach Capricornia
40 kya: Oldest cave paintings.
40 kya - 25 kya: Neanderthals go extinct by unknown reasons, Modern Man is (mostly?) left alone in the world.
30 kya: Oldest example of cremation.
29 kya: Oldest "Oven".
28 kya: Oldest "Rope".
28 kya - 24 kya: Oldest figurines.
23 kya: Last Glacial Maximum.
24 kya - 14 kya: Humans reach Equatoria.
20 kya - 10 kya: Mesolithic begins.
20 kya: Oldest pottery in Serica.
15 kya: "Coelodonta antiquitatis(Wooly Rhinos)" go extinct in Serratar.
15 kya: Dogs are domesticated.
15 kya - 10 kya: Pigs, Goats and Sheep are domesticated.
12 kya: Holocene Period begins and Pleistocene ends.
11,700 bc: The last Glacial period ends.
11,000 bc : Oldest ceremonial structures in Lotana
11,000 bc : Giant Ground Sloths and Short faced Bears become endangered species.
10,500 bc: Cattle are domesticated.
10 kya: The glacier around the world begin to recde, rising the sea level
10,000 bc : Most megafuana are extinct or endangered at this point.
10,000 kya - 9,000 kya: Cultivation of Wheat and Barley begins, start of Agriculture.
8,000 bc : Sea level rise slows down at this time.
5,500 bc : Copper smelting "Chalcolithic" begins in southern Hatar.
5,400 bc: The Savannas of Northern Ozara fully desertify by this time.
4,000 kya: Horses and Chickens are domesticated.
3,900 kya: An intense aridifaction event in Ozara and Serratar causes giant migrations.
3,300 kya: Bronzeworking begins in souther Hatar.
3,200 kya: Writing is invented and "recorded history" begins.
