Custom time range

[Dane411]

I'm happy I came across vis-timeline, I think it's a wonderful library with huge potential.
That being said, there are a couple of things that I'm trying to achieve but I cannot figure out how.

I wanna create a timeline of human evolution, therefore the timeline should be from million years ago till present.

• Can I customize the labels and the time so it will display what's intended even if underneath the values are parsed to some date format the timeline supports?

• Can I override the max zoom out?
  Currently when I zoom out, I end up with sections of 500 thousands years, So 0, 500, 1000, 1500, ...
  I'd like to achieve for example sections of 100,000 years

Also when you scroll till the very beginning, like -270,000 I believe (max ecmascript extended date), there's an unhandled error:
Error: Invalid start "-8640293086587888"
And the chart is removed.

• Is the timeline working with extended dates all the time, or it toggles when the time range goes past some limit?

Thank you in advance
