Break-up of Pangaea into today's continents (175 million y)...more would be 5000 x Age of the earliest cave paintings

Age of earliest Neanderthal fossils (350,000 y)...more would be 10 x Age of the earliest cave paintings

Time since birth of Emmy Noether (142 y)...more would be 1/250 of Age of the earliest cave paintings

Time since the first Volkswagen Beetle produced (86 y)...more would be 1/400 of Age of the earliest cave paintings
