there could not be a better ad for this channel 🤣 ordered one right away!
I just found this channel, and it was breaking my brain as I knew the voice….. then looked at channel bio.
It’s the voice of the past guy
Thru the gene testing the scenario where you had a male Neanderthal procreating with a Homo S2 female was a low productive pairing due to some reason pure Neandr Male XY chromosomes produce infertile males and low healthy babies where as HomoS2 males had more robust sperm XY that produced healthier offspring and fecund MALES thus all sampled Neandr males past a certain date of est. HomoS2 meeting coexisting, have HomoS2 Y genes. Meaning if there was trading mates the Human dudes fked better and the women Homo or Neandr had more kids with them while the male Neandr were not as successful, no dates at the survival prom. lol😄
Both homo-sapiens and neanderthals had needles. It is just so ancient we have no idea who did it first.
We did not. Nor you can prove that even the earth existed 10 million years ago. This is misinformation
Something that never ceases to amaze me is that at one point in our history the entire population of _homo sapiens sapiens_ amounted to no more than around 8,000 individuals clinging precariously to life on the African savannah!
And so the difference between a species of hairless ape going on to develop the theory of evolution, split the atom, and visit the moon, versus, well... _nothing,_ came down to it raining _just_ when it did. Because if it had been as little as maybe one week later, then, well... _nothing._
Good thing we were smarter then other Animals .tht helped us not go extinct

Man that ad for Manta sleep calling me out for falling asleep to these videos.
Damn they know their audience. I try to listen to the whole video at night in bed but the audio and voice of the narrator is so settling, I can’t remember the end of any videos haha
how can you fall asleep these videos keep me awake
@@belstar1128 they’re super interesting but it’s the narrator’s beautiful voice. His cadence and gentle constant speech with the settled background music works wonders.
I love falling asleep to Cool Worlds. Hes got an amazing soft voice as well. He mixes in stuff about the universe with poetic story telling. His video about a fictional first settlement billions of years ago puts me right to sleep everytime.
@@JoshuaMcTackett yea that's why you shouldn't fall asleep and actually listen and think about it
@@belstar1128 Hey Einstein, don't you think it's stupid not to use something to help you fall asleep rather than stay awake? That's why you're so tired during the day, because these videos keep you up late at night.
Don't assume you know about the OP's life. You literally never met him. Like how I assumed you stay up late because of these videos.
"We have 3 sizes... wee, not so wee, and friggin huge!"
My wee lad Gimli.
Having spent a great deal of time going through this very topic long ago, I can say this is one of the few youtube videos which explains the topic properly. If anything, what is not explored enough, is the impact of the ice ages on vegetation patterns. We went from a completely forested planet of the apes 10Mya, to a dry desert/savanna planet 2Mya. A key part of this change was actually CO2 levels. Let's go back 2Mya, the 15th ice age of the time reduced CO2 so much, so that the forests dissappeared along with the trees, the berries, the fruits, the vegetables. So, early Homo, had to choose between eating "grass" or eating the newly developed herbivores that ate grass. Because grass was all there was. One group of homo went after the grass and became the Astralopithicene Robustus (grass eaters) and one group became the Gracile Astralopithicene (meat eaters). Both bipedal and both smart and both tool makers but evolved to eat two different food sources. CO2 and the ice ages impact on CO2 and the impact of that CO2 on vegetation is the answer.
Interesting! And we still eat so much wheat
Whenever there was an ice age going on, homo did not eat any wheat because there wasn't any. Humans started eating wheat only 12,000 years ago because that is when it started growing good enough again. 30,000 years ago, we were eating meat because gathering wheat and growing wheat was a waste of time.
I believe you are somewhat incorrect, though it's a detail. Australopithecus were hominins but not of the homo genus. Far as I understand things, when and where the homo genus came to be is not known. Species of Homo may have a common ancestor with and evolved alongside Australopithecus, fossil records are not conclusive. From my understanding. I'm trying to fact check myself as I'm writing this and I'm finding sources at conflict with each other. Frustrating thing.
This is an AI scripted video

Thank you! I was worried this channel would be forsaken and nervously checked updates several times this past week
Well I'll be a Monkey's Uncle.
Joking aside, this is a truly fascinating series, along with the History of the Universe and Earth series too.
Reading further into Gigantopithecus was fascinating. Imagine an orangutan the size of a polar bear
Azming quality documentary, TV grade and above.
Great work.
I hit "Like" only a few mins into it because I knew it was going to be a quality vid. Good job!
I have found that, generally speaking, anything Pete Kelly agrees to narrate is going to be fascinating.
True but this is not Pete Kelly@@YogiMcCaw
This narrator is David Kelly, Pete’s brother. Both are excellent.
This video has been pushed at me for weeks out of nowhere. I would scroll on by and wonder if it was worth the hour. So eventually i caved and clicked on it just to get it off my feed and i was shocked at how awesome it was. It's interesting, well written, and not a distracting ai voice. I'm glad TH-cam was so pushy about telling me i would like this because they were absolutely correct.
I was only supposed to be killing about ten minutes or so until i had to do something else but here i am thirty minutes later, totally rapt.
Liked. Subscribing. Keep up the awesomeness please.
keep up the good work on this series and your other series history of the earth and history of the universe
Yes Please!💝💗💓💞
As a mathematician, HOTU is my absolute favorite. But I cannot rightfully say that without giving credit to the other channels operated by this guy and his crew, truly brilliant work indeed 🙏🏼
So happy to have a new video from this channel!
A great documentary all around. The 3d printed casts of skulls really shines for comparisons on a large time scale here. Though I fear a couple opportunities were missed that would have fit perfectly within this video(perhaps they wish to save them for future long form analysis?). The first is the description of our ability to outcompete other members of our genus out of Africa did seem a bit vague. Faster reproduction cycles were mentioned as well as possible greater tool creation but no mention of other global population impactors like disease spread or geographic isolators like large mountain ranges. Another point I had hoped would be delved into more was how niche partitioning sort of starts to break down with highly intelligent species like our ancestors being able to adapt far beyond what their physiology alone allows. Think how much adaption a woodpecker has to get grubs from inside a tree. How many generations of evolution required to reach that point. Then comes along a crow that realizes it can use a stick to get the grubs in a tree without all that physical adaption. So too did our ancestors break the rules so to speak in this regard but across just about every niche we could see and reach. Regardless, a wonderful 50-odd minutes that made me think deeply so thanks fellow apes!
Pandemics don't exist in tribal societies without civilization
That wouldn't be a factor
So good, pure pleasure!)
I love the visuals (and of course the narrative)

Thank you! Keep up on the good work! You are probably one of the most underrated creators in TH-cam.
Anomalocaris is thriving under my blanket ⚫🟤⚫💟
Super excited for another video!
As always, brilliant. Thank you.
Was starting worry this installment wasn’t gonna come.
I can't even imagine these times scales
Idk how, but I thank the TH-cam algorithm for finally bringing this channel to my feed! I've only watched half of the video and already had to subscribe to all 3 of these channels.. remarkable work! These guys really know how to "Scratch That Itch".
__
Off to binge the rest of em..
All of your videos across all of your channels are as always absolutely spectacular! Fascinating video and I'm looking forward for the next one 😍😍🌿
what did you learn from it
Wonderfully done. Absolutely love your work. Thank you.
Humans, ancient and modern alike are hard to lead to extinction or kill, we adapt so well to every situation.
Even if there’s a nuclear war, biological collapse, or even a Cretaceous-sized killer asteroid, we will survive. Unless every last one of us is targeted and confirmed killed, we will live.
i LOVE this channel & it's documentaries - thank you so much!
How does this channel only have 71k subscribers? The quality of the videos is awesome, and the storytelling very intriguing! I think this wi definitely go viral one day ❤
Very well done. I liked this a lot
Unbelievably inspiring! great episode! Reminds us of how precious we are, and our extended kinship.
My own history and my own family. This is so delighting, I wonder people who don't know biology see the world as we do.
Thank you, very clear and informative. Quite a few questions left... in particular how did we survive when babies are born 'unfinished', so helpless, unable to cling to their mothers, and so very noisy... signaling their presence to possible predators ?
great video, as usual from this channel
Outstanding. A great video.
Love this video. Please make a video describing why there is no great apes in the South American rain forests. That was a question that came to me watching this. If you could 😏 🙏
during the apes’ adaptive radiation period in the miocene, south america was separated from the other continents, so apes were unable to reach it
It's because south america was disconnected from the rest of the world until a few million years ago; which by then there were no more apes in the Americas
thank you so much! I love your videos!!!!
Great explanation with great details👍
Yes, we have been waiting !
Yes! I love your history content - ao excited for this channel
The video masterfully weaves together the stories of ancient apes and the environmental shifts that determined their survival. As we witness the rise and fall of species like gigantopithecus and the emergence of Homo sapiens, it's a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact of changing climates on Earth's biodiversity
Your documentaries Sir, are like tasty morsels, you and your team produce Quality, over Quantity, which makes them even more Precious and Delicious. Thank you.
Give it time we’ll go the way of the dodo along with everything else sooner or later

Yes, to a point we can.
Then after that point, we are as vulnerable as any other animal.

Such diversity and complexity. Andy we are all fellow passengers here on spaceship Earth.
It's amazing how our mitochondrial eve, 100 to 400 thousand years ago, dictated what humanity became. How many mitochondrial mothers led back to an amoeba, 4 billion years ago?
A lot?
At least a lot 😅
41:54 are those hands confirmed to be Neanderthal, H. Sapiens, and a hybrid child? If so that is one of the most incredible finds.
Love it
Thank you!
amazing as always.
Because we ceased being mainly arboreal, ending up on the ground moving with a two-legged bipedal gait which in turn developed our opposable thumb which in turn started our use of verbal language while using our handgrips to make hunting amd gathering tools which in turn made our brain organ large.
Very well done, Ty.
Nice….a type of “King Kong” that existed
"My name is Homo Sapiens, Hominid of Hominids; Look at my works, ye mighty, and despair..."
Gotta love that the video talks about changes in climate that occurred millions of years ago, and yet somehow TH-cam has to plop on the context tag. So evidently the video was entirely wrong and we were actually around 10M years ago, driving our cars and cooking with natural gas.
Dude that was fantastic
Excellent as always. But why are we more adaptive in tool making etc than our ape cousins? Language? Diet? Savagery?
All.of that. And coincedende
Our hands are also far more dexterous then the other great apes
"It seems that the Planet of the Apes has well and truly fallen but that would be ignoring one very significant Ape - us...."
And we are maybe evolving to the reason for the next mass extinct event:
"YOUR MANIACS!!!! You blow it up!!! God damn you!!!"
Astronaut George Taylor in front of the ruins of the statue of liberty, Planet of the Apes, 1967.
I doubt humans could create a mass extinction if we tried. I suspect its largely just ego that makes us believe we are far more powerful than we are. So many times, we blamed humans for the extinction of other creatures and rarely has that ever been the case where it turned out to be true. Even in cases where its kind of there tends to be other mitigating factors at play. Imagine if ever today we tried to take out all the pigeons. We would almost surely fail even if we pulled out the big guns like chemical or genetic weapons(the later might work hard to say). Where humans are we tend to have a lot of us but fact of the matter us we don't even touch most of the Earth and have not even begun tapping the natural resources it has to offer even on the crust let alone what is deep which is quadrillions of dollars' worth of materials. The Earth and the Universe are far larger than people seem to realize, and we are but a speck that could all be squeezed into LA California comfortably.
Evolution from apes to humanity is the explanation of an uneducated scientist....go through the mystery schools and the answers to the mysteries of life unfolds like a tree dropping it's seeds.

@@AgentDynamic Well I have had several personal supernatural experiences with divine entities.... that was very strange but anyway I was always open to anything and everything.... I started studying and researching about 20 years ago and it was like okay with the Quran, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hindu, etc and then I saw someone who was a friend of mine in school and I chopped it up with him and a few things were said that sparked an interest in my °spiritual journey°... (it was in jail actually, I'm a recovering addict and I was caught with half an oz of my personal powder and did almost five years) ... which gave me alot of time to think... I'm not going to mention the esoteric names of the cult I was learning from..(not the Masons.. this culture isn't even able to be found online, it's personal and I will be keeping it private unless you want to go to Cincinnati and get together.. So yes I do know that we were designed by an intelligence and it is beyond our thinking abilities to grasp and understand the truth... the actual facts of how and why exactly we're created to do but I don't think this is that!! It's a long story so I don't have time to really get into it unless you want to correspond via phone call... anyway I don't take for granted that you called me Mr.. I respect that. Have a great day and I will be keeping an eye out for you... peace
@@INnoVAtive_cReAtioN_StATioN
I am honest with you, because that´s what we Germans seem to be (in)famous for.
There is a possibility nowadays, that you just a new sort of troll - but no offence if this is not the case.
Otherwise, your curiosity and open mind leads you to this obviously very scientific and educational channel, that is good for you.
What I also see is a typical picture/reaction of a human being confronted with the analytical result of the scientific principals.
This can been seen many many times before, especially with traumatized, insecure and/or esoteric and religious people - again, that is not mean as an attack.
The root of this picture/ reaction is 70% fear and 30% unknowing or superficial half knowledge.
Mostly unconsciously existential fear towards the rational viewpoint of science.
With all the crazy looking math equations, intellectual talking about genetics, complicated chemistry, weird sounding Latin words, classifications and methods, that layman only see at a crime scene investigation.
All the studies and exploring and digging and stargazing and calculating comes to the one conclusion:
We are a randomly systematically formed sack of carbon and water, on a pale blue dot suspended in a sunbeam, a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
To paraphrase Carl Sagan again.
I can highly recommend his works and speeches.^^
It is understandable:
Science, on the first look, is for many people cold, heartless and has no transcendence or spirit like all the [insert religious cult here] and appears to be arrogant, all knowing.
But: That couldn't be further from the truth.
There are so many pseudo science groups with facepalm mindsets and esoteric seekers with sociopath concepts.
Some old, some younger, and they are more clueless then ever but they claim to have "the ultimate answer of everything" [put in random deity here].
Science instead says basically: F*** this BS!
We have to stay objectively as possible to understand our past, our present, the future and most important - the Universe.
To say: Yeah, nature is so complicated, we are so dumb, therefore it has to be made by a super overlord or someone else".
And everybody that says otherwise is a "uneducated scientists".
Please also understand, that that is simply to lazy.
Who created the creator? Who created the creator of the creator? Where is the real starting point?
Even if there is a being beyond our thinking and so on, like you said, we, as a intelligent and evolving species, are gaining nothing from that.
It is a killer argument that has suppressed our progress in human history way more to often, and kills all the reasons for research and searching for answers on seemingly unsolvable questions.
It is a echo from a long distant past, where we had no explanation for the immense forces of mother nature.
Only praying for survival when the "Fire Mountain Gods" have a bad day.
And no, (your) personal experience is not a proof for anything, I am sorry.
The consciousness is a sensitive simulation and can easily fooled be misinterpretation from correlation and causality together with the pattern recognition from our ancestors in this video.
Your addiction to "powder" makes the comment less reliable too, and I don´t know if a want to cry or lough about it, but I hope you're fine and clean.
Engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine etc. are a good example for the importance of objectivity, everyday in your life and my life as well.
Or from a more spiritual standpoint, try to look it like that:
The Universe itself is the creator, and math is the language, partially invented by us, partially embedded in fabric of everything and everywhere.
There is really no need for a separate intelligence, exactly that is the beauty in science and exploring the world around us with the eyes of rationality and childish curiosity.
Even if that means, that there will be no final answer, #edge of the universe, # inside a black hole, #42.
A believer (like you) in what ever looks at a flower and things: "Oh, the big spaghetti monster has great wisdom to create that colorful thingy.".
An "uneducated scientist" looks at a flower and things: "Wow, the electrical chemical neurons in my brain appreciate the beautiful composition of base pairs and the perfect symmetry of the petals. Thanks to evolution that makes living matter from dead matter to recognize and wonder about itself".
It is a little over exaggerated but, who do you think has the greater spiritual experience and closer contact to their "creator"? ;)
Nevertheless, peace, live long and prosper. |V|_

If only we could get the idea of our gratness not being the techological advances we've developed in recent centuries, but the adaptability that allowed our ancestors to survive and thrived in an ever changing enviroment, maybe we could be humble enough and intelligent enough to take care of our shared world.
IMO, there is much to learn from our ancient and not-so ancient ancestors. Especially when it comes to utilising resources to the fullest extent humanly possible.
Technology is our masterpiece for survival. Our knowledgeable means for survival is not seen in other animals. Even developments of technical tools of war serve our human pretense to survive no matter what we must face. Technical development is the homo sapien greatest asset.
@Bumpsy58 false. technology. has little or nothing to do with survival. it's like energy. and it depends on how you weild it, it's neither bad nor good but ur use of it determines. humans have existed without tech for 200k years. but today even with technology we are very close to extinction because of capitalism and greed after only a few hundred years with tech. nukes, AI? these are from technologies. tech won't make u survive if you don't weild it correctly it could destroy you. adaptability and environmental coexistence is more important than tech on the basis of survival.
Dont worry, we're tryin hard to.
