95% Time Passing Needed for New Era
The earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago, and the human species was separated from the chimpanzee 4.9 million years ago.
So, after counting 999, the only additional one is assigned to mankind in the history of the earth if it is scaled down to 1,000. Our era accounts for just 0.1% of the total history of the earth.
More interesting is that 10 million years after dinosaurs went extinct, the Himalayas started to rise from the ground pushed up from the Indian Ocean by the Indian subcontinent drifting from East Africa. Dinosaurs never saw Himalaya mountains.
The Himalayas divided the Eurasian Continent into the west, covering Europe and the Middle Eat, and the east consisting of China, Japan, etc. Accordingly, the human history is separated between the West and the East. The West has been a stage for the mainstream events of mankind since the era of the Mesopotamia Civilization, including the ancient Egyptian Civilization, the rise and fall of Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, the emergence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and so on.
For the civilization created in the West to reach the East, it had to first spread to the American Continent. It is true that some trade activities , human communications, and cultural interactions were possible between the West and the East through deserts north of the Himalayas. But, real influences of the Western Civilization reached to the East through America.
Specifically, it was in 1853 when Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry of the US Navy arrived at Tokyo Bay, leading four big black ships including two steamers, to request establishment of diplomatic relationships between Japan, then under the Tokugawa samurai regime, and the US. This incident became the starting point of modernization and Westernization of Japan, hence paving the way for total modernization in East Asia, including China and Korea.
As it was about 6,000 years ago that Sumerians started to build cities, such as Uruk, on the River Euphrates, the era of modern globalism linking the West and the East since 1853 accounts for just 2.7% of the history of human civilization.
For reference, it is thought to be 160,000 years ago that Mitochondrial Eve, the oldest common mother of all the human beings who live today, lived in Africa, according to genetic analysis. So, the era after the Sumerian Civilization in the human history accounts for 3.8% of the history after Mitochondrial Eve. Yet, the era after Mitochondrial Eve accounts for 3.2% of the human history after the separation from the chimpanzee.
So, it needs more than 95% of time passing in an underlying era before a new era or a new stage begins in human history. We nay call it the EEE-Law of "95% Time Passing in an Era."
Yet, it needed 99.9% of time passing for the emergence of the human species in the history of the earth.
Let's confirm the history of the earth.
We can see dinosaurs are rather closer to human beings than other living things that ever emerged and lived in the time span between 4.5 billion years ago and 2.5 billion years ago when dinosaurs appeared on the earth. And it also means that after 95% of time had passed since the formation of the earth till today, dinosaurs came to exist on the earth. It followed the EEE-Law of 95% Time Passing in an Era.
