0 TheCube Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I agree with Hidden I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD BE BORN YET!!!!! @Scudo: I don't think math is needed because this is a word riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 If the OP means exactly to the words... i would say the earth is still a molten sphere where there is no life... so no need to think abt humans, one of the late comers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 that humans are about to hit 40 as well. This is of course based on the traditional Christian worldview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yodell Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 well it depends on whether "Earth" is the name of our planet (as is Terra, or Gaia) or just a name.. of a random person... If the latter is true then humans are as old as their age .. or humanity is like 40 million years old ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Geologists have dated the earth to be about 4.54 billion years old. Archeologists have estimated that humans originated in the Middle Paleolithic period about 200,000 years ago. Comparatively, if the Earth were 40 years of age, humans would have roamed Earth just a little over a day, about 25 hours.

0 Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 whoa didn't expect somay answers, but unfortunately none are correct.... a hint here:D take it at earth's perspective as woman who is 40 yrs old then how old will be the humans living on her? and humans are alive then....XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 a little over 39 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 If 'Earth' is just a name of a random person, humans will be just as how old they would be. Or am I missing some points here..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 If 'Earth' is just a name of a random person, humans will be just as how old they would be. Or am I missing some points here..? nope, imagine OUR mother earth as 40 years old woman, then calculate how old will the humans living on earth will be then? no need to give the exact number, just give a small range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hidden G Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 27~~28 or so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 In order for any one of us to calculate and give you the estimate you wish, it would be proper if you give us the estimate of the actual age of the Earth you are using and the actual span of time humans have been here on Earth.
