  1. 3.3 million old, go figure!


  2. Most of it!

    Farming, and the consumption of domesticated dairy products, has only been evidenced in the past 10-15,000 years, which is represented by the successful mutations of Blood Types, "A", "B" and "AB"...

    Probably 90-95% of hominin history was spent in a Hunter/Gatherer lifestyle!

  3. If by Our you mean Homo sapiens, and History to mean recorded and unrecorded time, then all you need to do is subtract the years of "Non-nomadic" life style from the total years of Homo sapiens on the planet (and multiple by 100) to get your answer.

    The best guess as to the age of the human race is 150,000 to 200,000 years.  Agriculture is relatively new, being only 10,000 to 15,000 years old.  This would make the worst case and best case (range) as follows:

    (150,000 - 15,000 / 150,000) * 100 =

    (135,000 / 150,000) * 100 = 90.0 percent

    (200,000 - 10,000 / 200,000) * 100 =

    (190,000 / 200,000) * 100 = 95.0 percent
