Hey, that sounds like the history of Canada too!

  Oh, I thought this meme was meant to be a documentary on school-age children. Now that I know that it isn't, I can...
  
  ... what do I do with this information, again?
  
  Seriously, I might quibble as to the line between history and prehistory (which a good portion of that 60,000 years would be), but there's nothing here that's fundamentally wrong.
- Thanks for clarifying. I thought this web comic was a word for word script of a real life conversation /s
