I have considered this topic, also.
It makes sense that the millions of years of earth's existence was millions of years of progression of spirits. If this world is patterned after the spirit world, then it makes sense that our spirit is made up of many tiny particles, just like our bodies. These particles exercised their agency to be joined together into a human spirit. It could take many life cycles for these spirits to reach the level of maturity or complexity to join together into such a high form.
We are taught that the purpose of all creation is to benefit man: D&C 59:18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart;
This statement, combined with the statement that the work and the glory of God is to bring to pass the eternal life and exaltation of man imply that there is a much bigger reason for the many years of earth's existence before Adam. It seems logical that the wild men who inhabited Europe and followed the herds 25,000 years ago had a purpose. The whole theory of spiritual evolution seems possible. It would be facilitated by reincarnation.
It is possible that the advancement of man through the past 6,000 years has been the advancement of God's spirit children towards the glorious Millennium. There have been righteous men from the beginning, but it appears that man, as a whole, has become more refined, more on a spiritual plane. Reason tells me that if God's work and his glory is to exalt man, and he always fulfills his purposes, then man will be given every opportunity to become exalted. This is why we are given time in the spirit world after death-to continue to progress.
This whole topic is widely conjecture and only confirm-able outside of LDS scriptures. Wouldn't it be funny to find out that Darwin was right when talking about spiritual progression!
