I believe it might predate that era by several millennia. Supposedly a full, unopened can of Fosters beer appeared from nowhere just like the black monolith in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey opening sequence. Somehow Orc appeared, got the can open, and finished off the beer. Unknown if Orc was a developing mammal, or a four legged animal, or a bug, or maybe some unknown cloud of gaseous vapors. But the entire contents of Fosters beer was consumed likely by Orc. A mystery that will remain for some time.
