Leave it to Deseret University (a.k.a., University of Utah), founded by Brigham Young, to come out with these scientific findings...
But the ancient wisdom of the Bible already spoke of this timeline... Daniel 5:25, 7:25, 12:7; Revelation 12:14: "time, times, and half a time", or [y = x + 2x + x/2].
In Revelation, "time, times, and half a time" is spoken of as a three and a half year period (to simplify the equation above, y = 3.5x [Rev. 11:2,3, 12:6, 13:5]). It is given as a time that man would flee from the beast (as nature is red in tooth and claw).
To interpret the length of this time period, we can employ the idea that "one day for God is as 1,000 years for us" (2 Peter 3:8, Psalm 90:4).
If x is equal to one year of days according to God's reckoning, then x = 365*1000... To substitute this value of x into our equation above, we get [y = 3.5(365*1000)].
Or...
y = 1.2775 million years that man has been fighting the fight of evolution with nature
These equations also relate to star polygonal arithmetic and points equidistant on the perimeter of perfect circles, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader (hint: y = 7 * x/2).
