That's interesting.

I have mixed feelings about this stuff. On the one hand, the evidence we have is extremely scant and, for the most part, untestable. It's sketchy in the literal sense of the word. All the guesswork makes me uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the evidence we do have at least sketches out that there's some kind of story here, and we have pieces that might fit into it. I like having a story that connects human history to the earth in a fundamental way. This is weird to say, but it makes the earth feel more like... home?
