Superb mention of variations over not only space, but especially time. Intelligent juxtaposition of morphology versus culture (that one's truly significant). Great lesson.
This makes sense at last by proposing a far more plausible explanation than does Neanderthal extinction. The examination of thigh bone and other bone structure is so informative. The reactions and adaptations to environmental conditions .
Amazing knowledge that you share with us.! 👍 Thank you very much for the great collection of videos. DNA and the family tree of the hominids is very deep and goes back very far. Intense to think about the reality of that. 😳
Exactly. My father was 170cm and considered tall for his generation, born 1920 in Britain. His father was 155cm, typical for a British peasant. Only the well fed upper class achieved greater body mass until recent generations, and of course well fed Americans.
Oh man, you should go and meet people whose ancestors have lived up north for untold generations. They tend to go pretty stubby, as well. Probably their grand-grand-grandparents used to be well muscled as well, but that is not evident anymore, due to all the motorized equipment.
I wish people would stop writing Neanderthal as Neandertal. 1. The species is named after the valley Neanderthal. 2. Germans pronounce th the way English pronounce t and visa versa. In other words, 3. English speakers should pronounce the th as th while Germans should pronounce it the way they say th. 4. We should not become confused and misspell the name in light of these common usages of language. Copyrighted: J. M. Waterford, 2019.

You gave so many scientific facts that you still are interesting and relevant in 2020

Great video. Clarifies so much as regards the erroneous idea that Neanderthals “disappeared “
Been watching your videos to help study for my biological anthropology class! Thank you so much for making these videos!
Good stuff! At 55, I still have all my teeth including my wisdom teeth. I can feel a little space behind my back teeth.
It sure would be nice to get an update on the state of discovery over the last four years. Surely something worthwhile sharing with the rest of us.
Thank you for the video!

170 cm is not at all short by the average of today in most populations...

You are a very thorough scholar 👍
Fantastic !! 💛
You are a very thorough scholar 👍🤝
I enjoy listening to you.
Cool! Love your blog! I'm into the paleolithic too!
excellent presentation!
mapmanic it really is

Xiphane X My neighbor is Rosenthal and they are from Germany, tall, heavy build, red hair, I think he is a Neanderthal.
I prefer the th as a t sound despite being English.
Given the curvature of the femur I wondered if they walked without the knee locking like humans?
👍👍
My skull represents a Neadertal skull exactly are there any study in modern humans who have Neadertal skulls currently?
Minha cabeça está parecido com o segundo example, eu tenho um bolo occipital perfeito.
What evidence do we have for cultural adaptations Neanderthals had for cold weather? That sounds interesting
I have a massive occipital bun.
I doubt it but you could carry a small amount of Neanderthal DNA in your genome
So few views.
