You're right in questioning whether predicting something from the past can be called a "prediction." Typically, predictions involve forecasting future events. However, when it comes to understanding or inferring past events (like the origin of mankind), the process is different-it's more about making informed hypotheses or reconstructions based on evidence. Scientists use available data-fossils, genetic evidence, archaeological findings-and methods like carbon dating to make educated guesses about the past. This process is sometimes called "retrodiction" rather than prediction. Essentially, they're making a reasoned projection backward in time to explain how things might have unfolded, though some details remain uncertain. So while I shouldn't call it a "prediction" in the usual sense, it's still a kind of informed inference, aimed at understanding events that can't be directly observed. Anyway, I'll re-title the video now.
@@KappTech Thank you for a considered reply. Usually, they amount to no more than two lines, or simply "lol" or similar. Yes, I was perhaps being a bit of a prat when I made that comment. I understand your point about predicting the past. I was tempted to delete my comment, now that you have changed the video's title, but I was concerned it would delete everything that hangs off it - like your comment/explanation. What I'll do is change the comment to a single character, making it look like a mistake, then you can delete yours if you wish. If you do, I'll delete this one as well. That was some beautiful imagery, by the way. Are you going to make other videos to expand on this introduction?

The song at the end is creepy 🥴
All AI can do is use available information to give information. This corrupt system will prove to be out of control at one point.
