   Not jellyfish (500 mn) and horseshoe crabs (400 mn)?   
   Even pines have been around 350 mn years.   
   Mammals as a whole have only been around 250 mn years.   
   Cockroaches date back around 200 mn.   
   Human and rat ancestors divered only around 80 mya.   
   Only 1 human species managed to make 2 million.
