This was a moment of pure magic. I watched the last of the hummingbird chicks perch on the side of its nest and glance around, while mom made quiet trills from a nearby tree. Then the baby lifted off, and a second later it lit on a branch near its mother. I'm amazed by how quickly they have gone from helpless hatchlings to independence and seemingly effortless flight. Observing this little bird family has been such joy.

“Learning to Fly” by John Falter 1953.

Now, for the record. My own first attempt at flight was accomplished with a patio umbrella launching from Grandma's pantry roof. I landed in the creek next door. My Dad rescued me while teaching the neighbors some words he picked up in the Navy. :)

Something that freaking blows my mind is the realization of just how old humans are as a species and therefore how much human history is an empty mystery

The human history we learn in school and museums generally goes back to about 4000 BC

Neanderthals are often discussed as living 10,000 years ago during the ice age

Homo sapiens as a species are 300,000* years old. Three hundred thousand!!

It’s so freaking insane to me to think about the age of the history we discuss versus three hundred thousand years of humans existing before that, the magnitude of what we don’t know. It also puts into perspective the truely exponential rapidity of human societal development.

To put that growth a little further into perspective, we only began farming about 12,000 years ago, like 288,000 years after our species started existing. Fast forward and it took us 58 years to get from our first flight to outer space

*160,000-300,000 depending on who you ask, evolution being a gradual process

Edit because more than one person has now seen this post and it contains a mistake: the Neanderthals were 40,000 years ago, not 10,000
