Where is 10,000 BC set?

This is called the Out of Africa theory. There is considerable DNA evidence that traces everybody back to a single area in Africa. Basically they looked at weird changes in DNA that act as markers allowing you to trace back where the people originally came from.

One of the implications of this is that the original humans were black, which makes sense if you believe we evolved from apes. As the humans moved north, they started putting on more clothes, which means less of their skin was exposed to the sun. As a result of this, their skin got lighter so they could absorb more UV rays or whatever it is that we need from the sun.

10,000 BC was long after humans colonized Europe. That was something like 50,000 or 80,000 BC IIRC

They should have called the movie 5000BC...most of the stuff in the movie wasn't around in 10000BC. Hell, I don't even thing we invented the wheel until like 3000BC, much less used swords and boats.

Right. Humans starting leaving Africa over 100,000 years ago.

Actually it doesn't make sense, seeing as how apes don't usually have black skin (besides gorillas). The theory is actually that the ape ancestor of humans had light skin until its hair became thinner, after which its skin darkened.

StargateAndAnthro was complaining that it stars white people. I don't see why it wouldn't.. not like everyone was black and brown in 10,000 BC. Where is it set? AFAIK, since it has mammoths it would either be Europe, Northern Asia, or North America.

I would like to take this moment to complain that StargateAndAnthro took the time to complain about the veracity of any of the depictions or resemblances to actual people, places, or events in the film.

We'd colonised islands and transplanted domesticated animals by about 6000BC, so you'd better be sure we were using boats by then. Either that or the domesticated animals swam across along with the humans. We're talking islands with no land bridges here, so no walking.

No pyramids, like shown in the trailer, are known to have been built by 10,000 BC.

This is obviously a tie in with Stargate as in the Stargate movie Oniel (Kurt Russel) says his reports say the pyramids are 10,000 years old. So give or take 2,000 years and you're at 10,000BC.

How about blue screen and computer animation?
