This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%

You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

There were probably more around at the time, all the other bloodlines just died off.
