i am taking a middle eastern studies class so i know a lot about it...
behaviorally modern humans have been around for about 90k years but it was only till the atlatl and more so until the bow was invented that we started becoming socially advanced.

i took it to mean that he was claiming we have only been on this planet 3000 years. if thats not what he is claiming then my bad.
as for whether the old testament happened or not, i really doubt most of the stuff happened. like god destroying two entire cities and giants existing that young boys could go take slingshots and kill to save their tribe and stuff.
