In evolutionary terms when did humans first understand time in the sense that we could plan ahead?
Very early on, if not before we were human. Chimps pile their anvil (flat rock ) and hammers (rounded/pointed rock/piece of wood ) around trees that they will be cracking nuts from in advance of the nuts, so they seem to have a rudimentary sense of time and are planing ahead somewhat.
Many advanced mammals seem to have a sense of time in limited to greater degrees, so humans probably had this sense from the time of H. erectus.
Second answer
I agree that it probably predates humans. Regarding chimps, another example is a male individual at the Furuvik Zoo in Sweden who stored a hidden cache of projectiles so that he could later throw them at visitors. You can read more about it in the paper "Spontaneous Innovation for Future Deception in a Male Chimpanzee."
If both humans and chimps have a concept of time, it's very possible that our common ancestor who lived around 7 million years ago had it as well. This would have provided a survival advantage.

Why did Harlow use monkeys instead of humans?
There were ethical and practical reasons why Harlow could not use humans in experiments to identify the nature of attachment between human infants and their mothers. Animals were not protected by the same guidelines on ethics. Therefore, Harlow could use monkeys in his experiments. The macaques are close to humans in evolutionary terms and in many behavioural traits so Harlow could gain insight which could transfer to human models.
What is the purpose of vestigial ear muscles in humans?
The purpose of vestigial ear muscles in humans is believed to be a remnant from our evolutionary past when our ancestors could move their ears to better detect sounds or communicate nonverbally. However, in modern humans, these muscles no longer serve a functional purpose and are considered vestigial.
How can history help us understand the world?
If you can understand all the trends and mistakes humans have made, history can help us by preventing making the same ones. We could understand how we do things and the purpose for doing them... read a lot of books and stay in school.

Today, these muscles no longer serve a significant purpose in humans.
What is the belief that humans could understand social behavior using reason?

Rationalism emphasizes the importance of logical thinking, analysis, and deduction to comprehend and explain social phenomena. This approach assumes that social behavior can be studied and understood by applying rational principles and methodologies.
Why do evolutionists think that humans have stopped evolving?
Some evolutionary biologists do, but we have rather strong evidence that humans have not stopped evolving since becoming human. Two pieces of evidence that are recent in evolutionary time are the sickle cell trait and the lactose tolerance traits in some humans. There are some others being tested now. Remember, evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. How could that ever stop? Only extinction could stop it. PS It is not " evolutionists. "

Why do we have muscles that move our ears?
The muscles that move our ears are remnants of our evolutionary past when our ancestors could move their ears to better detect sounds and communicate. These muscles are not as functional in humans today, but they still exist as a leftover trait from our ancestors.
