Exactly. By the time you get to 6500 years ago, humanity has already been doing settlements and agriculture that we have archeological evidence of for 1000s of years.

Judging from the estimated timeline of humanity, 6500 years wouldn't even be long enough for us to migrate beyond the hunter-gatherer system and stone tools.

Our ancestors had 100,000s of years, and we only got to settlements and agriculture maybe 10-20K years ago.

Also mind biological changes aren't really quick (but sometimes spontaneous, yes) and even I can now talk about things that happened in two different centuries. So a few thousand years aren't even that much generations (even if you count shorter lifespan but that is mostly a statistical thing due to high death rate of babies).
