Or how little.
I love you.
Take whatever you can get.
Like ten years?
Ah! Ha ha ha!
( Yells ) Uhn! Oh.
Why did you do that?
I wanted to see how fast you were. Check your reflexes.
I don't have eyes in the back of my head,
I can't hear a flea walking,
I am not in any way superman.
Well, I'm a second-degree black belt.
Give it another thousand years.
Well. I got it, I got it, I got it.
Jesus.
Smooth demonstration, Harry.
Sit on it, Dan.
I still have questions.
I-I do too, John.
I mean, are we done with prehistory yet?

Remember any of your original language?
A little. One thing hasn't changed much...
( wolf whistles )
Did you ever do any cave Art?
Do you know the rock Art at les eyzies?
Mm-hmm.
It was the work of a man named...
giraud.
He did a pretty good job.
He would draw the animals
That we hoped to find to eat.
One day after a fruitless hunt,
Our chief stomped his teeth out
Because his magic had failed him.
After that, someone had to chew his food for him.
Finally, he got-- I suspect--
An infected jaw,
And he was abandoned.
That's awful.
You have to know what to kill.
Is this why all your students
Say your knowledge of history is...

so amazing?
No, that's mostly based on study.
Remember, it's one man, one place at a time,
My solitary viewpoint
Of a world I knew almost nothing about.
Well, let's talk about
What you say you do know about--
Historical times.
Don't encourage him.
Edith.
Next few thousand years, it got warmer.
A few thousand years--
See, now, I know you're guessing.
You can't get there from here, Art.
Well then, pray, continue.
We hunted reindeer, mammoths--
Bison, horses,
The game retreated northward
As the climate changed,
You got the idea of growing food
Rather than gathering it,
Raising animals rather than hunting them.

Am--Am I getting warm, here?
I bet I am.
Lakeside living becomes commonplace,
Fishing, fowling-- Come on!
John, this is out of any textbook.
Even yours.
You got most of it right.
Eventually I headed to the east.
I'd grown curious about the world.
I'd gotten the hang of going it alone,
Learning how to fit in when I wanted to.
East.
Towards the rising sun?
Yes. I thought it might be warmer there.
That's when I saw an ocean.
The mediterranean, probably.
It was around the beginning of the bronze age,
So I followed the trade routes from the east,
Copper, tin,
Learning languages as I went.
Everywhere, creation myths,
New gods, so many, so different.
