We have no idea who we are. Here in the UK we have forgotten our history and we don't know our roots. I'm so tired of being told we were clueless backward heathens rolling around in the mud until the Romans came and taught us how to be civilized. Our religion, our tribes, our stories, our beliefs and our way of life was destroyed so completely that we have no idea of who we are. We buy into anything we are told without even questioning it. We are a lost people. I hope someday, somehow we remember who we really are.
You wure kangz.
@@fabianofonda6758 *Underrated comment.*
no you were not rolling in the mud, Serbs lived in the UK and we had very developed civilization
@@yeshuasage3724 You summed up so perfectly what a total imbecile you are. Classic. Thanks for the laugh.
@@SlavicStar14 I wasn't aware of that and that is not the reason we were civilised.
I enjoy watching tv shows and reading books about our prehistoric ancestors. It's so fascinating.
Evolution is fake
@@TheEpicAB get a life
@@TheEpicAB That's your Neanderthal DNA speaking.
@@solochill81 First of all I was making a joke which seems to have gone over your head and secondly Neanderthals don't fit into your racial categorisations since they were not homo sapiens.
@@heliotropezzz333 Neanderthlas were more intelligent tho
Skin color is not race. Skin color is just a small part of racial differences.
Well said.
there's no such thing as race. there is no scientific basis for race.
@@pete2814 yes friend its rational thought... skin race is only one characteristic of the races... for example the subsaharian people are generally considered as the black race but there are many differences in the colour between them . for example the aethiopians with other total black tribes. also the somalians. like in europe, the caucasian white race.. the norsemen are the same like the mediterraneans?? there are many subgroups in every race. also the mongoloids (asian) have differences in colour .. a japanese is different from an malaisian or a philippino.. also the term ''caucasian'' mongoloid etc has nothing to do with the mountain caucasus or the region of mongolia .. its just a literal term. that not means that all the asians began from mongolia and all europeans began from caucasus..
You're a mutt like the rest of the world, get over it.
@Mark Donald lol pure
My family have lived in the uk for hundreds and possibly thousands of years 😃
have you had your dna tested?
So have most people?
@@tauruscommunist9532 not u. Ur from Italy like me.
They could have done but have you heard of the Anglo Saxons they came from the Netherlands and Germanic lands of the mainland so depending on where in the uk your from you may actually have some dutch or German ancestry
@@joewatson3386
DNA show that the Anglo Saxons left very little in Britain. With only 10% over most of Britain and even in East Anglia, (their supposed heartland) it's only 38%. This combined with Archeological evidence and new techniques, it's now becoming clear that the Anglo Saxon invasion never happened. So it's quite likely that if his family is old British, and he can in fact trace it back to pre Roman.
Loved this exhibition back in 2014, didnt want to leave the museum
Oh my god! Just travelled halfway across the country to see this exhibit, then found this vid in my inbox! Everybody should aim to go, it's the best I've ever seen from the NHM; a real combination of specimens, audio visuals, reconstructions and art combined with a chronological storyline encapsulating our knowledge of human habitation of Britain. WOW! For an aspiring paleoanthropologist this is life-affirming.
Good to see that you've witnessed evolution. Survival of the fittest is the will of almighty God and for billions of years, it has shaped our world into what it is today. Amen to that! :)
CoreyStudios2000 It's still weird to me that people can appreciate the reality of evolution but still be a theist. You do you people!
at least its better than being a typical tree raping pagan who worships a pantheon of false gods like odin, thor, zeus, and moloch. Also, i have a catholic mother and an atheist step father and they get along good.
My respect for you has just evaporated as you dished out your prejudiced nonsense. Seriously, 'tree raping'... Also, how do you distinguish between a false god and a legit impossible being? Ironic if you are criticising other theists for implausibility.
Hahahaha SUCKER!
1:48 Always mind blowing to re-consider this fact. Terence Malick should totally make a movie about an early encounter between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
like "Clan of the Cave Bear"?
Bravo!
britons would not be black at all, white skin developed 125,000 years ago so they would definitely be white
It always makes me wonder that while we started on a level playing field that some humans are still in native tribes while others built massive cities and technological miracles...
the human lives that it took and still takes not to mention the price the earth is paying to create those marvels as you seem to view them Is way more savage than a tribe living with nature instead of at the cost of nature.
isolation. if a group of people live in isolation from new tecnologies then they never get to learn.
cathiiannii because they went around the world killing stealing culture technology architecture taking it back home and claimed it as their own
Because northern humans are have supiorior brain power because they have to be in order to survive he could climate
"level playing field" ??? Because living with horses, cows, goats, sheep, few venomous animals, moderate climate, low and high terrain, and moderate water(Europe) is the same as living in a dense jungle that has no animals that can be domesticated, a lot of venomous animals, hot climate, only low terrain, an excessive water(which can be bad) (Amazon). The medium that we lived in defined us. Geography plays a HUGE role in evolution. The simple fact that the America didn't have draft animals, stopped them from creating the wheel, which leads to a whole bunch of other inventions. The simple fact that East Asia had rice which is very nutritional, skyrocketed their population which led to more people creating things, so a higher chance to grow from a technological point of view. The environment shapes the human.
The "We came out of Africa" was proven wrong.
Oscar Heasman how so dumbass?? It says right there the last wave of inhabitants came str8 out of Africa. U just wanna believe wat u wanna believe....news flash everybody...u r a nigga just like the ones u hate. Everything civilized came out of Africa....facts niggas
Absolute nonsense. It hasn't been proven wrong at all. You mean a tiny number of white supremacists can't handle the idea have claimed it was wrong.
If anyone believes the "out of Africa" nonsense,.they are stupid as hell or paid for shills.
Ignorant of geology or plate tectonics
@@davideckhart1123 The "Out of Africa" theory has only gotten stronger with time and will likely continue to get stronger.
The out of Africa myth has been debunked. Please update.
Dale Chatfield there is more evidence to show they did come out of Africa
By who? Your aunty? 😂😂😂
lol what are you talking about. the only thing that needs updating is your knowledge of modern science
Hahaha when little white boys on their laptops can't handle the fact that they evolved from black Africans
Yes, by Russian scientists. Unfortunately we know the West doesn’t listen to Russians 🙄
How can we define humans existing millions of years ago as Britons? They were just people living on land.
Yes, land we call Britain.

I saw the thumbnail and thought? "First? I know that guy."
the racists in comments are so creative!
Nowt wrong with creativity, without it you certainly would not have an internet with which to call people racist.
Its not incorrect that first britons have noting to do with africans or anyone today who is darker.
Superb Video by the Natural History Museum. I am very sorry for my long comment below. But I had to add to an excellent video my incredible anthropological discovery and research. The Cassi or Khasi are described as an Iron Age Tribe of Britain. Please read my detailed history of the Khasis below. Congrats once again to Prof Chris Stringer and all the scientists of the Natural History Museum for your simply magnificent work of over 40 years on the Cheddar Man. I will be in London in mid July 2018 and hope to visit you all. I wonder if we could meet.
Thank u interesting
Neanderthals: We are the best
*Humans:* 1:59
Blimey ! Martin Keown is looking rough these days . !
The model of the Neanderthal looks like he could have been an ancestor of Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. The modern humans may have survived better also because they were adventurous (having left Africa) nomadic ( having travelled far) and that must have taught them adaptability.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of it like that.
Yes he actually does !
Though the Neanderthals actually had large brains and only Indo Europeans have Neanderthals DNA. And they built the worlds greatest civilisations. In fact the people who consistently test positive for high intelligence are the Chinese, and they have the most Neanderthal DNA. Is this just coincidence?????
@@johnbrereton5229 It could be that we owe a lot to Neanderthals, and yet their name is often used as an insult to mean someone primitive or backward.
@@heliotropezzz333
Yes Helen, in the past this was indeed exactly what we were told. However, more recent research has revealed that they were in fact very intelligent and not the knuckle dragging apes we were told previously.
It's all so interesting, that they lived in Europe far longer than we have, and yet for some reason died out. Yet all Indo Europeans have varying amounts of their DNA and it was they who built the worlds most advanced and impressive civilisations.
@@johnbrereton5229 I've watched a few very interesting videos on them, one by the British Museum. It's suggested they may have bred out with Homo Sapiens rather than died out, which is why we have some of their DNA. Populations were very small in those times. There was high child mortality rate and average life expectancy was not much more than 30, I understand.
ya whats the song
It's "Aurora Borealis" by Terry Devine-King
Total utter rubbish they were like you and me
Great Video
Hello there
Did they like tea? Not just any tea... good tea?
I'm not sure but they loved Cannabis!

1:08... Don Rickles?
If no one or not anyone was there, these were not ten waves of Occupation! Stop using the word Occupation as if it is natural and not of one more of force over another.
The global temperature and climate was in constant flux during the pleistocene. As the commentator mentions, they have evidence of an original occupation of Britain by Neanderthals, then a gap, and then a subsequent occupation by them. They were forced out of Britain by a glacial maximum.
Occupation means occupying the land. They might have been a few scraps we wernt there
Want to see Neanderthals ? Try visiting Newport on a

I'm a descendant of Spicers of Kent. Those footprints from Ireland into Wales 8000 years ago, which you see as you hose down the beaches ..are ours. We learnt so in 2017.
I seek someone with either the same or another unusual blood signature to conceive a child. Is anyone interested?
The early humans actually look a bit like the great ape (our closest ancestor). Amazing how human beings have evolved from looking like the great ape to now modern humans.
He could be the Sadiq Kan's ancestor!
Bullshit
And all those life like mannequins were based on tibia .... Great that sounds legit
no, that's not what is depicted or said in the video. the tibia is, as it says in the video, one particular specimen of homo antecessor. this is not the only specimen of homo antecessor in existence, it is merely the oldest one found in britain, included in the exhibition for its significance as such.
however, the full size mannequins in the video, again, as it says, are of entirely different species; homo neanderthalensis and early homo sapiens (cro-magnon).
I wonder if the stories of Cain and Abel or Grendel in Beowulf have anything to do with a folk memory of inter action between different humans? Or am I just being stupid? (which is quite common)
@patrick laws - oral histories through generations become quickly unreliable. For example, I saw a genealogy show where DNA testing showed at least one Hawaiian oral history strand to be in error.
he was also gay
Actually cheddar man was a trans woman, so she was not gay you bigot!
National, 😂
He was more man then those white's in britten today who became gays and lesbians
also the generation in charge say nothing to sexuak deviants. just saying...
also asians deserve to be here, you don'yt
Roger Waters is the first one.
BUT. . . did they have the original "english accent"???
How could they have English Accents when English people didnt come into Britain until after the Romans left Britain, Celts were in Britain thousands of years before the English, aka Welsh, Irish, Scottish
@@ARMY2014
So then from what language did their accent derive from?? They couldn't have just invented it. 🤔🤔🤔😝
@@bubux4851 Languages don't begin in the countries, languages are made, and the English like I said got into Britain after the Roman Invasion, Welsh, Irish n Scottish are closer to original Natives than English
The only languages that actually are native to Britain is Celtic which English isnt part of, The Brythonic Branch, Welsh, Cornish, Breton
@Jay-john Derbyshire
I'm sure almost all within that region of the country had Nordic/Germanic influence since they were a considerable large group of conquerers besides the Romans. Heck the British royalty themselves are of German ancestry.

The first Britons were black.
@Persona non grata Science is not bullshit, you stupid fucker.
aditya nawani the first Britons were dark-skinned not black as the term black is nowadays to describe people of sub-Saharan descent.
they were not black, cheddar man was debunked.
Indigenous British people were white
yes white as in phenotypically the same as "white" people. They just had darker skin. They still looked like modern british people mate.
They were better looking than British people today. 😝
And you are mr nice face.....? Brown cave minor.
British people today Is darker.
What is the transportation of stone henge? Oh they used logs lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 how long did it take them to move them from Wales to where they are now? 2000 years on logs lmfao 😂😂😂😂
They havent changed much :-)
Some dates are really approximate!
accurate within an order of magnitude. ie 500,000 years ago +- 50,000 years
