Yep, millions cooking on fires, spewing methane?

Oh, perhaps they all had very bad gas?   ;-)

But what about before that? And before that?

And I have no doubt that our time here is relatively short, and the earth may 
well be better off without us...

Well Ray, according to an archaeological site in South Africa, 164,000
ears ago, man was harvesting seafood and cooking it over a fire for his
 makeup wearing woman.  :)  Uncle Al would probably say it was the
ooking smoke...  ;)
Just for reference, Neanderthals roamed about 100,000 years ago, and the
ldest human(still probably homo sapiens) footprints were found on the
occamonfina volcano in Italy, a mere 345,000 years ago.

o, here's what I think happened Ray...
ne hundred thousand years ago, there were millions of homo sapiens
round the globe fishing and cooking with fire, then Lake Toba blew to
ingdom Come, killing all but, say, 10,000 humans worldwide.  Genetic
tudies have confirmed a population bottleneck around this time.
ecords suggest that there was a 6 year global nuclear winter followed
y 1000 years of super cold, a mini ice age.  Only a lucky few survived.
So, I think perhaps the Earth will continue to make corrections and keep
ife in balance.  If we are lucky, scientists thousands of years from
ow will call the coming correction(whatever it turns out to be) another
population bottleneck'...otherwise, we will be a part of an extinction
vent and we can only hope that our passing is witnessed and remembered
y the whales, dolphins, aliens, or whatever.

 Methane levels, according to Ice Core samples, go up and down, 
 correlating to temperature variations, for the last, oh, four hundred
  thousand years or so. The chart provided seems very cyclical to me.
 I am wondering why, about a 110,000 years ago, there were high
 methane levels, and high temperatures, when my grandfather didn't yet
 have his SUV? And why, about 110,000 years before that, before his 
 grandfather had a model T, we see another spike in methane and 
 temperature level?
 
 Hmmm. Ya think it might be Cyclical?
