Temporal light artefacts (TLAs) are undesired effects in the visual perception of a human observer induced by temporal light modulations. Two well-known examples of such unwanted effects are flicker and stroboscopic effect. Flicker is a directly visible light modulation at relatively low frequencies (< 80 Hz) and small intensity modulation levels.
The hypothesis also speculates that artifacts from past civilizations could be found on the Moon and Mars, where erosion and tectonic activity are less likely to erase evidence. The concept of pre-human civilizations has been explored in popular culture, including novels, television shows, short stories, and video games.
The March of Progress, [1] [2] [3] originally titled The Road to Homo Sapiens, is an illustration that presents 25 million years of human evolution. It was created for the Early Man volume of the Life Nature Library , published in 1965, and drawn by the artist Rudolph Zallinger .
The hominoids are descendants of a common ancestor.. Homo sapiens is a distinct species of the hominid family of primates, which also includes all the great apes. [1] Over their evolutionary history, humans gradually developed traits such as bipedalism, dexterity, and complex language, [2] as well as interbreeding with other hominins (a tribe of the African hominid subfamily), [3] indicating ...
The last common ancestor between humans and other apes possibly had a similar method of locomotion. 12-8 Ma The clade currently represented by humans and the genus Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos) splits from the ancestors of the gorillas between c. 12 to 8 Ma. [31] 8-6 Ma Sahelanthropus tchadensis
The lower layers of the cave were later dated to 92,000 years ago, [28] and a series of hearths, several human bodies, flint artifacts (side scrapers, disc cores, and points [29]), animal bones (gazelle, horse, fallow deer, wild ox, and rhinoceros [29]), a collection of sea shells, lumps of red ochre, and an incised cortical flake were found.

Paleoanthropology is the study of fossil evidence for human evolution, mainly using remains from extinct hominin and other primate species to determine the morphological and behavioral changes in the human lineage, as well as the environment in which human evolution occurred. Paleopathology is the study of disease in antiquity.
Up to about 80 Hertz or the flicker fusion threshold it is called visible flicker. From about 80 Hertz to 2000 Hertz it is called the stroboscopic effect (this article). Overlapping in frequency, but from 80 Hertz up to about 6500 Hertz a third effect exists called the phantom array effect or the ghosting effect , an optical phenomenon caused ...
