Claim
Humans are a few thousand years old, not millions.

Responses
- The accuracy of this claim depends on what is meant by "a few". The oldest Homo sapiens human remains so far found go back over 200,000 years. There have been many finds by many teams in Ethiopia that remove all dispute that H. sapiens is over 100,000 years old.

Fallacies contained in this claim
- Straw Man (evolution doesn't say that humans are millions of years old)
- Equivocation (is two hundred "a few" thousand?)
