Who were the first Europeans?

  • Sitting in the beautiful Verdon Gorge in Southern France, I muse on the first European peoples that inhabited that region. People like Cheddar Man from Somerset in England. I consider the cave art of Lascaux, Pech Merle, Niaux, Chauvet, Cougnac etc. The animals depicted there must have been sacred to our ancestors, whether Homo Sapien or Neanderthal, who depended on their meat to survive.
    I include some nice shots of Wisent (European Bison), Griffon vultures and Alpine Chamois (not Ibex as I thought at the time), which are all animals our European ancestors were familiar with. I also explain the genetic origin of European people including the Yamnaya, the hunter-gatherers and the early Neolithic farmers from the Near East.

    To correct myself and summarise:
    1st Europeans = Neanderthals 250,000 to 40,000 ypb
    2nd = Aurignacians with neanderthal dna 43,000 - 37,000 ybp (there were only 800-3300 people in all Europe!)
    3rd = Gravettians, replaced Aurignacians between 34,000 and 26,000 ybp
    4th = Blue eyed Western Hunter Gatherers (like Cheddar man) from 14,000 ypb
    5th = Neolithic Farmers (like Sardinians) with less neanderthal mix began to mix with and replace WHG around 19,000-7,000 ybp
    6th = 5000-4500 ybp Indo-European pastoralists from Ukraine/Russia replaced much of Central and Northern European DNA, and had massive cultural impact on Southern Europe but less genetic impact.

      Europeans as in modern humans or related species? because Greacopithecus and Homo erectus ventured into eurasia before Neanderthals and Denisovans and we don't know much of the denisovans yet, even though there aren't any denisovan admixture in modern native europeans to my knowledge. And i am pretty sure neanderthals were in europe before 250 Kya as the split between ancient Homo Sapiens Sapiens split from Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis is roughly 550 -750 Kya and there no neanderthal admixture in sub-saharana africa and small amount in north africa due to back migration of some cro magnon (Early European Modern humans, EEMH) populations ( I would put neanderthal earliest presence in europe up to at least 400 Kya). What were the paleolithic gravettians and aurignacians (weren't they hunter gatherers as well?), wouldn't they be the primary ancestral component of the later mesolithic WEHG people. It is becoming clear that the neanderthal admixture of ancient cro magnon varied in different locations and that there seems to be at least three subgroups of neanderthal as well (siberian, iberian and eastern european). The neanderthal admixture in current population is significant lower to ancient cro magnon like the oase-1 remains in Romania that has about 5-11% and it had hybrid cranial morphology between neanderthal and ancient early europeans phenotypes.

      Yes but modern humans descend from primitive pre-humans (extinct hominid species) as we don't see Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis (and even less so for Homo Sapiens Sapiens) remains going beyond 700 kya.

      western hunter gatherers were also indo Europeans. Cheddar man had U(mtDNA) which is a descendant of R haplogroup which is again Indo European

    • @kobusleach6026
      @kobusleach6026 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Firstly, you should not confuse mtDNA haplogroup R which leads to several different branched subclades of which one is U and that of Y-DNA haplogroup R of which R1a & R1b is most certainly associated with Indo European cultures and the spread of the indo-european languages. Y-DNA haplogroup R stems from P which stems from K2b, which stems from K2, which stems from K, which stems from F which stems from CF. Secondly, only specific U subclades are directly linked to indo european cultures. mtDNA Haplogroup U has 8 basal subslades U1-U8 and certain U subclades have been present in europe since the aurignacian culture (28 - 43 kya) already. Thirdly, western european hunter gatherers (WEHG) weren't indo-european as they were in europe at least 10 000 years already before the yamna pastoralists (YIEP) from the pontic steppes migrated into europe. WEHG were characterized primarily by Y-DNA haplogroup I. We know the Y-DNA haplogroup R originated somewhere near central eurasia (siberia) as the Mal'ta boy remains (~24 kya) were R* which is associated with the Mal'ta Buret culture obviously from which Yamna succeeded from indirectly. Lastly, modern european are an admixture of mesolithic WEHG, chalcolithic YIEP and neolithic near east farmers (NEF) to various degrees. Each of the admixture components have inherently further admixtures components from which they originate from.

      Synth music is a product of western high civilization and technology. An instrument that can capture the essence of all eras before it. The electronic music has also continued the heritage of tribal, native styles of music. The mouth harp of munnharpe was an instrument widely used in combination with drums in ancient norse culture. Search for "Norsk Munnharpe" and compare it to modern synth 303 music like "Plastikman - Marbles".

    I am watching some of your older videos :) I think people painted in caves simply because they understood that the paintings in the caves were protected from the elements. I picture the ancients taking their children to the caves to tell the the stories about the animals, their practices, and their origins...generation after generation. Knowing your history, and your people's stories, help you understand your place in the world. I think those paintings are, in a form, language (not art exclusively). They are collective memory.

    • @DerSchleier

    • @goodfty
      @goodfty 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@DerSchleier "Unlikely" no, nothing you said makes what he said "unlikely", it just means they also painted on other things as well for other purposes. Which is no different than nowadays.
      Some things are made to last. You ever drawn with chalk and watch the elements wash it away? They obviously knew if they painted in the caves it wouldn't just wash away or degrade from the elements as easily. It didn't take long for ancient humans to do mummification and discover you can preserve bodies in stone structure and other things sealed away. So no, what he says is more "likely" and what you said was right but meant nothing to disprove him.

      The word 'negro' when referring to the colour is very different than when referring to the racial category. I have no problem with being descended from black skinned people, and I would have no problem with the neolithic farmers of Europe being actual negroids either (I am not an ethnic european, because I have little to no WHG or ENF ancestry). What I am discussing here is biological fact - yes, the peoples of Europe were, until several unrelated mutation events, black skinned. However, they were not negroids in terms of the genetic grouping of the various negroid peoples (nilo-saharan, bantu etc).

    • @sunborn_7
      @sunborn_7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Waya Azrael the word NEGROID IS DERIVED FROM A LATIN WORD, it wasn't considered a racial category until the 20th century. There is no such thing. Africa has many races within the continent, it just so happened that the ones that migrated north had to learn how to live in a cold climate so they lived in caves and caverns which changed their features because of the thin atmosphere and a loss of melanin from from lack of carbon.
      However back to the original point, the term Negroid is a term made up by a white guy in the 1900's. Negro means black oid means species. Cheers

      Please read some human population genetics papers regarding the various groups of Africa and how while they are more internally varied than non-african genetic populations are, they do today constitute a discrete genetic group that is not representative of the overall african population as it was at the time of the migrations out of africa.

      lolno, those were not the selection pressures involved. It hasn't to do with a lack of carbon. Thinner atmosphere was involved but was to do with photosynthetic metabolic processes.

    Funny you mention the shape of the animals "hard-wired into the psyche of the people" as I had a mini obsession with the prehistoric and indigenous horses of Europa when I was a kid. I knew a lot of the early breeds, and of course the earliest horse Eohippus.
    I desperately wanted to see a Fjord pony, very prehistoric.
    I also loved the British horse breeds, reflecting their different geographical locations and roles. So much so that first 'saturday job' was working in a stables aged from 11.
    A distant memory maybe...

Since shamans have always some extra abilities, which make them chosen by the Spirits. In hypersensitivity the filters of perception a lower than in ordinary humans, they perceive a wider picture of reality. Since we have lost this kind of worldview, the hypersensitivity is not trained to a skill anymore and doctors say it is pathological.

    Neanderthals diverged from modern humans around 500,000 years ago and likely evolved outside of Africa. Neanderthal fossils are found in Europe, the Near East, and Siberia, and range in age from 200,000 to 40,000 years.

    @Phantasos25 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Very interesting video, I'm an archeologist and I subscribed your channel. Just a comment to what you said at 1:49: You know well that the spread of the "neolithic package" in Europe was of two types: 1) Demic neolithization 2) neolithization for acculturation. Sardinia was largerly excluded from the demic waves from the near East which concerned Greece, Apulia and the south of the Balkans mostly for geographic reasons but receveing a cultural contribution by Mainland european groups which adopted neolithic standards. For example, the Ozieri ethnicity, one of the most important in Sardinian neolithic period, belonged to the western mediterranean type. I copy for you an abstract from a recent article regarding this matter: Sardinia is an island that remained unconnected with the mainland even when the sea level was at its lowest during the LGM (Shackleton et al. 1984) and probably was the last of the large Mediterranean islands to be colonized by modern humans (Sondaar 1998). Modern Sardinians, a unique reservoir of distinct genetic signatures (Cavalli-Sforza et al. 1994; Pala et al. 2009; Francalacci et al. 2013; Sidore et al. 2015), on one hand apparently harbor the highest levels of nuclear genome similarity with European Neolithic farmers (Lazaridis et al. 2014) and an extensive similarity with the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic Tyrolean Iceman (Keller et al. 2012; Sikora et al. 2014) but, on the other hand, they differ substantially from Near Eastern Neolithic farmers including those from Anatolia (Lazaridis et al. 2016). These findings have led to the view that, in modern Europe, Sardinians may have best preserved the gene pool of Neolithic farmers, possibly because their ancestors were less affected by subsequent Bronze Age dispersals across Europe (Haak et al. 2015). Note that the above view does not necessarily imply that the first Sardinians were Neolithic farmers. On the contrary, there is archeological evidence indicating that humans were present on the island by at least 13 Kya (Hofmeijer et al. 1989; Dyson and Rowland 2007; Broodbank 2013). Moreover, a European pre-Neolithic origin for Y-chromosome haplogroup I2a1a1-M26, by far the most common in modern Sardinian males (38.9%) (Francalacci et al. 2013), has been postulated (Rootsi et al. 2004). Finally, a massive survey of whole-genome sequences from modern Sardinians has recently shown that the population of the mountainous Gennargentu region harbors higher levels of both hunter-gatherer and Neolithic farmer components relative to other Sardinian groups from less isolated areas. This has been interpreted as indicating that the hunter-gatherer component did not reach the island with more recent migrations from the continent, but it was either already present on the island when farmers arrived or due to previous admixture of the first incoming farmers with hunter-gatherers on the mainland (Chiang et al. 2016).

      Guess it's possible, because after all, that 2-4% are specifically neanderthal markers and i will state as he has done previously, distance is of some centuries.

      Example: If you pay it a look, you share around 25% of your genes with grandpa, then your grandpa's grandpa (2 times removed i think) would share around 6,25% of your genes with him (nearest to the higher end, 4%), 3 times removed (if i'm not wrong)you would share 3,125% and 4 times, around 1,5625%(nearest to the lower end), i always state around x% because it could be less or more, think that's obvious but is necesarry to be clear.
      Now, looking at the time distance, unless you're older (i'm a teen) distance to your grandpa is around 60 years, and in the era, distance of father-son would normaly be 20 or less--30+ in the higher end this means that in the closest genetical point you would count 60+20+20=100 ( may add this is of the shortest possibility range) or 60+30+30= 120 (medium range because people had sons even in more advanced ages), so, in the closest genetical point, your distance technically is in the 100-150 years range
      in the medium point, you would count 60+(20x3)= 120 in the shortest distance, and the medium (average?), 60+(30x3)= 150, this means that would be between 120-180 years range
      in the lowest genetical point (europeans), 60+(20x4)= 140 in shortest distance, medium range 60+(30x4)=180, this means a distance around 140-200 years range, so technically every european had a distant "neanderthal" grandpa around 100-200 years ago. And even if i didn't considered enough distance between grandson-grandpa and father-son, the distance wouldn't be really far from the 250-300 years ago

      Now, we have to consider that we surely come from a people that existed 6000 years ago in or near europe (so called indo-europeans) and from people that were earlier here, like the near east ancentry, are registered around some 14000 years ago (thanks to analysis on the villabruna), if we go to the hunter gatherers, they were in the range that the neanderthal is considered by science to have dissapeared (28000 years ago, it is supposed that at least 37000 years ago all ancient europeans began to share ancestry with modern ones, this means that is a strong possibility.

      Coming from an Armenian,I have noticed Basques have a very unique look,culture, language,etc. And even though we're on the East side of Europe I've always felt a weird bond/kinship towards Basques. Since I was a little kid.Armenians, we were historically for thousands of years in our own large kingdom spanning from modern day Greece to Iran to Russia, and now only have about 10% of our people left, (genocided by Muslim Turks). We were always a mountainous people,so are you. I believe your Basque DNA has been unaltered for maybe even a couple thousand years because the mountains you love in acted as a natural fort/barrier. Anyway,long story short,this is your Armenian sister saying hi to you and reminding you to be PROUD of who you are. We may be small in numbers but our blood is ancient and resilient. 😼

      American indians (being related to Asians)-and Mexicans/Latin Americans with high Amerindian admixture-, also have the slightly higher neanderthal percentage (which is a bit lower in Europeans). Papuan and Australian Aborigines also have Neanderthal admixture. According to the most recent genetic analysis (from the same geneticists that found it originally), neanderthal ancestry ranges from about 1-2% (revised from their original 1-4% estimate).-see the wikipedia article on Neanderthal admixture.
      Regading their brain size. Neanderthal brains were larger to control their larger bodies (they had larger bones and were a lot more muscular) and eyes. Porportionally their brains were not larger.
      www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-03/eyes-have-it
      Neanderthal brains were larger to control their larger bodies. Some brain space in neanderthals was also devoted to visual processing (to control their larger eyes as mentioned), and less brain power to brain executive functions. Neanderthals had a smaller porportional prefrontal cortex than sapiens, which governs many higher order fuctons-, but rather devoted more space to "visual acuity" or precision. Larger eyes are also found in nocturnal animals and those that live in arctic climates.

      Archaeologically, overall early Sapiens was more advanced, though the gap is not always very great.
      Early MSA African homo sapiens (ca. 150-60,000 bc), first exhibit many of the earliest cases of modern (characteristically modern human) behaviors (including artistic and symbolic) and technologies (at sites like Blombos, Pinnacle point, Katanda/Semliki, Gademotta, Sibudu, etc…..)-that would define European Cro-Magnons and other homo sapiens (in Europe, Africa, Asia, the South Pacific/Oceania, etc) later (as they came to establish various distinctive and locally and deeply rooted cultures/culture zones where they settled. A few Neanderthal sites also show indications modern-like behavior (or nearly modern-like), though some are ambiguous (and a bit less common) and evidence suggests that some-though definately not all, as some are early-may reflect sapiens influence.

      I believe you're confusing neanderthals with denisovans.

    • @skellagyook
      @skellagyook 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I am not confusing them. Papuans and Australian Aborigines have about 4% (previously thought to be 7%) Denisovan dna (denisovan also exists in some groups of SE Asian Negritos like the Mamanwa but not in the Jehai or in Andaman Islanders. Asians/Amerindians have very little Denisovan dna). All non Africans (so far sampled) have neanderthal, which includes Papuans and Australian Aborigines.

    In my opinion Neanderthals lived in Europe side by side more with the Cro Magnon (Neanderthal + Sapiens hybrid that came from the Middle East) than with Sapiens itself. Nevertheless, I love your documentaries. Thank you!
