Bullshit. We know nothing and have literally no way to know (only speculate) about anything 10k years ago.

Besides, every text is being altered at each rewrite (before printing technology) and even no story is told two times exactly the same.

Any decent scholar of ancient texts will tell you that. Indian ancient literature is the canonical case study.

I think you're missing the mark here. Advances in archaeogenetics and newly found well preserved specimens have added an enormous amount of detail and color into the origins of anatomically modern humans, even in the past decade or two. I mean, the stone age itself began 2.6 million years ago, and we found that out through archaeological evidence.
