    Humans are incredible long distance runners. We did a lot of hunting by “Chase it until it collapses”

    9 months/15 years

    Our brains take a loooooong time to mature, but it’s worth it. We can plan ahead without relying on survival instincts, and we keep making amazing discoveries like fire and clothes

    Also, when you request data deletion, the companies have up to a month to do it. I’m not sure if OP expected it to be instant, but it doesn’t have to be
