Ong - Wrong

Ong says that Homo sapiens first appeared 50,000 years ago. He's off by a factor of four; try 200,000. Even "anatomically modern humans", Homo sapiens sapiens, appeared about 130,000 years ago, though perhaps we only spread throughout the Old World at about Ong's point in time.

It's a minor point but it annoyed me, and I think everyone saw me shake my head.
