Question

If we picture the history of Earth as a 30-day month,modern humans arose
A) at the beginning of week 4.
B) on day 27.
C) in the last 5 minutes of day 30.
D) on day 15.
E) in the early morning of day 30.

Accepted Answer

Modern humans (Homo sapiens) first appeared around 300,000 years ago, which is only about 0.02% of the history of Earth. So if we condense the history of Earth into a 30-day month, humans would have appeared in the very last 5 minutes of day 30.
