Evolutionarily modern humans have existed for 180,000-200,000 years. So, for the absolute minimum value of 'tens' (20, 2 tens) that would require each generation to be 9-10 years.

So many redditor pedants missing the actual point of this post. Also, if you look it up, there's been at least 10,000 generations of humans.

Okay, but at least 10,000 and tens of thousands are very different things.

It's basically irrelevant though. You focused on a minute detail that you could feel right about vs the actual meaning of the post.
