Could early man have seen craters on the moon?

Do the sums for yourself. Man has been around for roughly 2m years, which is 3m inches, 250,000 feet. 83,000 yards, or roughly 50 miles. Out of a current distance of roughly 238,000 miles on average that is going to make absolutely NO difference. In fact, because its orbit is elliptical, not circular, the distance of the moon varies by more than that regularly each month, but you haven't noticed, have you?

You are missing the (whole) point.

Men have been seeing all these things in sky that remained unaltered from almost a billion years (except the locations being shifted for some), even if men existed for a million years. All animals also were doing it for a million years at least. In fact the ancient men (our forebears, **** Sapiens) were observing much more, with greater intensity that modern men don't. Moon has been observed more than any other object including all the details (though there are no records of their findings) - Craters & all.

It is what they made them out to be. How they interpreted all these visions in the sky. For instance they didn't know that the earth under their feet, on which they stood is Planet Earth. Even they didn't know what is meant by Planet. All same things, have been interpreted by Science now. Early man has definitely seen Craters on Moon as it doesn't need a telescope for that.

im looking at the moon and i can see its crater right now. So what exactly is your point??

if i can see the craters so can anyone else that lived in the past, i mean unless they didnt have eyes?? what exactly are you getting at? not knowing the answer to this is kinda silly even for your age

They saw craters, but didn't know they were craters, instead triggering a Pareidoliac responses such as "the man in the moon".

Yup, they even thought the craters looked like a Man's face.
