QUESTION:
If age of Earth = 4.6 billion years,
Single cell life = 3.8 billion years ago,
Multicellular life = 1.5 billion years ago,
Using 200,000 years per speciation that would = 11,500 speciations to get from single cell to multicell life forms.

Through dating analysis, he and his colleague have shown that the forams could produce a whole new species in as little as 200,000 years -- speedy by Darwinian standards.

That leaves 7500 speciations to get to modern man, from Eukaryotic Cells.
​
How is it possible for Modern man to evolve from Eukaryotic Cells in only 7500 speciations when it took 11,500 to go from single cell to Eukaryotic Cells?
