Title: Which came first, deer or humans?
Post by: mrsmith2211 on 10/06/2017 00:18:43
So this troll made a blanket statement deer have been around longer than humans, related to a deer and auto accidents thread, anyone know?

Thanks

Deer are listed as having existed since "Early Oligocene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer)".
If that's the case they have existed >20x longer than modern humans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens)

I can confidently assert that the deer were here before the automobiles.
So clearly the automobiles are at fault for any collisions with deer.
