Every one of us alive today is the culmination of millions of years of human (pre)history, at least. (Bit more complicated when you start thinking on a planetary scale though.)
We're the 'cutting edge' right now, pretty much.

If some form of FTL travel is ever discovered and used extensively (and both of those things had better be true!), this simple thought will get a... little more confusing :D
