I think I was going from "earliest signs of civilization" (i.e. French or Australian cave art, and similarities).
I admit to being surprised by the number for Homo sapiens. I'd have to think it was closer to the 0.2 than the 1.8.
But even then, that'd make it worse.
Even at 13,000 BCE, we're still not doing so well. It can be argued that primitive man didn't have the ability to extract many resources, so it's not comparable, but I don't think that's the case. We shouldn't get a free pass because we have no history of "mass pillage of earthly resources" with which to compare.
