From 930,000 to 813,000 years ago , environmental conditions on Earth funneled our human ancestors into a protracted population bottleneck.

This phase didn't last for 20 years or even 200 years , though, as a recent article from the Journal of Science claims it lasted for about 117 thousand years .

For a population of that size, you just need one bad climate event, a volcanic eruption, and you're gone.

This amount of time roughly overlaps with Earth 's Pleistocene era, a span of history stretching from about two and a half million years ago to 11,700 years ago .
