... The oldest homo sapiens fossils are 195,000 years old. 24 hours = 4.55 billion years, so 195,000 years/4.55 billion years × 24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds= 0.15 seconds. Subtracting this from 24:00:00 gives 23:59:45. 2. How do carbon isotope measurements in rocks provide evidence for the existen ...
