So here is the timeline again


65 million years - second dinosaur extinction
4.4 million years - oldest ancestor of human/ape found
1.3 million years - oldest human ancestor found
70,000 years - only a few thousands fo humans on the planet
             - heading for extinction
15,000 years - agriculture starts
5,000 years - writing starts

Unfairness...

if two monkeys are given hugely different rewards for the same task, the one with the short end of the stick won't cooperate

how come chimps are more agressive than bonobos?

Bill Mahr, paraphrased...

You do make me question evolution, when you believe the world was created 10,000 years ago.

The event

To give an idea of its magnitude, consider that although the eruption took place in Indonesia, it deposited an ash layer approximately 15 centimetres thick over the entire Indian subcontinent; at one site in central India, the Toba ash layer today is up to 6 metres thick and parts of Malaysia were covered with 9 m of ashfall.[12] In addition it has been calculated that one hundred million metric tons of sulphuric acid was ejected into the atmosphere by the event, causing acid rain fallout.

how do you know...

Genetic evidence suggests that all humans alive today, despite apparent variety, are descended from a very small population, perhaps between 1,000 to 10,000 breeding pairs about 70,000 years ago
