NEANDERTHALS had the same weakness as the Dinosaurs they shared the same environment with.They did not eat vegetables or fat free food which made their diet poor and monotonous. A poor diet may have spelt their demise the same way dinosaurs were.
From my research, their strength and bulkiest ended up being part of their demise. Neanderthals stature encouraged them to hunt with brute force while Sapiens fought at a distance with spears/bows, proving to be much more effective and safer. Sapiens also tended to fight in larger groups and were more social, building onto our species longevity.
Thats is 1 of a few reasons. The main reason though is the fact that they were greatly out populated by sapiens that could breed with Neanderthal women, but Neanderthal men could not impregnate sapien women. So over a span of a few thousand years they were absorbed into our species
Men always imagine war and violence - but neanderthals were probably slow on reproduction. A neanderthal mother could only bear offspring each 3-5 years - compared to humans 0.5 .5 years after the last birth.
From my research, the word is spelled "bulkiness," and in further research, I've discovered that not proofreading oneself makes one look like an idiot who lacks credibility.
Homo sapiens were more advanced than Neanderthals. My homo sapiens ancestors had babies with Neanderthals. Those babies inherited the "most violent genes" from the Neanderthals. Those babies repopulated Europe after Neanderthals died off, that is why according to current statistics, Europeans are the most violent people on this Earth. European descents in North America and Europeans in Europe have fought and continue to instigate and fight the largest number of wars on this Earth more than non-white people.
No, statistically speaking Europeans have 1-2% Neanderthal DNA and Asians (especially East Asians) 3-4%. True, they were the first who inhabited Eurasia (including Europe) as a whole but I wouldn’t associate them with modern day europeans only
Alexandrite my dad did a dna test that said he has 59% Neanderthal DNA and the rest Western European , so it’s weird to hear that most people only have 1-2%
Neanderthals probably required more energy, since they were strong and had large brains. I believe part of their extinction was that they were unable to survive with a lack of nutrients.
Their extinction was caused by homosapiens.A fossil found from a cave shows that it was killed by a homosapien with a light weigjt projectile.There was a violent conflict between homosapien and neanders.
@@billwilson3665 no they were apex predators .they even killed cave lions bears and furious other animals.but human intellegence was greater and they survived
To think they had their time. They lived together sharing happiness and pain. We share and can learn much from our relatives. They live on within us. "Reminding us of a time when we weren't alone."
Well done. Extremely informative video; quick and to the point, but long enough to absorb. I had no idea Neanderthals were named after a valley in Germany. Learning is some feel good cool shit. 🤙
It’s likely that Erectus survived in south east Asia up to 15,000 years ago but there’s also widespread stories of not quite human people living near humans such as trolls, fairies, Bigfoot etc.
actually, in prehistoric times, the human height average was the same as it is today. It was only once people left their hunter-gatherer lifestyle for farming that the heights became shorter. Farming did help create civilizations, but in general, people had poorer nutrition than when they were hunter-gatherers.
Mary Gebbie well it depends how far back you go in prehistoric times. Also the wealthier individuals had meat only the poorer farmers were probably a little less nutritionally deficient. Also there were still many hunter gatherer types through out human history and many had domesticated animals. Smaller and ape like in trees. Lol
Joseph D. Really? I had a teacher in school who also did. Not being mean here....he liked to joke about it himself. He totally had the stocky built and facial features of a modern day neanderthal. Funny, how genes can do that even after thousands of years of interbreeding.
@@James-jl4jt funny how you cucks who were burning buildings down in the summer of 2020 looked so primitive. Might as well have been on National Geographic. You’re a keyboard warrior.

1:59 that tool over there is like a tool called "Eeti" in Tamil. I think both of them are eeti because they both have this sharp edge at the end of it. And both of them are used for hunting animals and in wars from back then. So, I think that is an eeti, the tool that is made out of bone.
This video describes the neanderthal as the ancestor of the homosapien but according to present day researchers the neanderthal was actually a cousin that evolved from a common ancestor.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with flint knives in fact they’re still used in heart surgery (obsidian) until you meet someone with a copper knife then your knife shatters.
One new theory suggests that because of their stocky builds and larger, more dense muscles, Neanderthals required a much higher caloric intake to survive. That vulnerability combined with increased competition with Sapiens could have done them in.
Honest question here. Do scientists consider Neanderthals to be an entirely different species than Homosapien? But did the video just suggest they could be assimilated with Homosapiens? I thought different species could not successfully breed continuous descendants?
According to my 9th Grade Biology lesson, different species can actually interbreed, but it's rare and would usually produce sterile offspring. For example, a crossbreed between a horse and a donkey could exist, but it won't be considered a new species since it won't be able to multiply.
a quick note on semantics only--was an excellent video. Evolution did not "build them to be sturdy". no life since the big bang ever made a conscious decision to "adapt and improve to adjust to their environment". They had various mutations from birth and those that had good ones survived to breed. Its nothing more than that. Those that lived further north in bad conditions likely got "ran there" as is common to this day. The Eskimo paradox was the same "why didnt they go south to the sun?" THEY TRIED--but encountered a race of what they called giants that killed them.
It's nice to see National Geographic actually acknowledging what has been known for over a decade. I suppose it's difficult to that from the start when most of your articles argued against it for so long. The articles were always very informative on these simple hominids with their simple fur dresses hunting mammoths in 3' ft of snow and bare legs. I guess they still retained a lot of fur yet. I know that's how the artists rendition always showed them . And yet they made weapons , cooking utensils , fire and buried their dead and so forth. Not to worry though , where always finding a piece of jawbone with a molar from there or a finger bone from here that seems to raise a lot of confusion among paleontologists and offers endless possibilities for a multitude of new thesis's on human origins. On another note , always loved National Geographic with it's many amazing articles and fantastic photo's.

After the discovery that Europeans have Neanderthal DNA, a picture of Neanderthals looking "advanced" surfaced. Until then I had always seen Neanderthals depicted as hairy and ugly.
if they still existed in modern history we’d have some serious tension between our species and it would probably end in genocide. then again i think that humans would be more united among themselves.
My anthropology teacher has been constantly stressing that there is no proof that Neanderthals displayed symbolic behavior such as art and culture. It's very hard to pinpoint who made those cave drawing and necklaces. Maybe I'm just gullibly believing my teacher (30+ years of anthro experience in the field and teaching) but you can't believe everything out there. It's human nature to be certain about discoveries, even if you really have no idea what you're looking at
The flowers found in some Neanthertals burial places ( mostly Middle East) . Were accidentally place even by rodents . Because were close to their burrows.
Neelzen It’s wrong to state that theists as a whole believe in a literal Adam and Eve, since it doesn’t fundamentally define a theist, and there are plenty of theists who don’t believe in a literal Adam and Eve
did 23 and me, my neanderthal genealogy is more prevalent in my dna than 98% of people who have been tested by 23 and me. Pretty crazy stuff. I am mostly Scandinavian in heritage.
Lmao they were not advanced .. really a tooth. Out of all the discoveries in the world, an yall come with a tooth. No one of advanced culture goes around stealing and killing for other cultures artifacts
At 0:32, Am I the only one who noticed that the Neanderthals roughly occupied the same region that were once part of Roman empire, Persian empire and some central Asian states?
You know, at this point in my own research I don't see the neanderthal as a subspecies, I just think of it as another ethnic group. My thought process is that if something can mingle and procreate with a human then it too must be human. Neanderthals to me are like what Africans, Europeans, and Asians are as a whole, large people group with certain physical characteristics.

I began to read about neanderthals because they looked familiar. Now I know why. And all of a sudden my whole life made sense. I am rather robust and hairy, I have a big nose and I am less social than most humans. And I also have a bunch of other traits from the neanderthals. I have also began to think that aspergers is a neanderthal trait.
I know thats how its pronounced,but for some reason it still sounds strange when she just says the T sound in neanderthal,im so used to hearing the TH sound you hear in thanos or that.
they might be strong when it comes to raw strength they have alot of problems they don't possess something that humans had 1.Humans have flexible bones and tend to be faster sprinter 2.Great intelligence-the large portion of their brain is more connected to eye sight their eye sight is 10% brighter than humans
Shouldn't one of the cold adaptations have been significant body hair to help survive the cold? Like the other creatures of the area, woolly rhino and such. Neanderthals probably looked like humanish gorillas. H. sapien brains are wired differently from those of the Neanderthal. Short in stature, with large jaws, sloping foreheads, and barrel chests. And likely lots of hair for the cold climate. Native Americans, and South Americans have an even higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA in their DNA genealogy than Europeans.
Big brains dont mean high IQ, thats why whales havent taken over. Its more about brain to body ratio which humans have the most of and dolphins have the second most of. Do u see what i mean

Why not learn their language instead
Arthdal Chronicles bring me here. It gives me curious after watching this drama.
Thanks for making a documentary on Twitter Users, Nat Geo! 👍
Imagine if the Neanderthals survived to live in our modern world
Would be so cool if Neanderthals were still around today.
They are.
Skookum K Pure Neanderthals, and not humans with 5% of their DNA.
They are
Go to Zvolen main railway station and just watch.
Skookum K lmaoooo the shade 😎😂
I'm living with one too, he has the distinct Neanderthal brow, seriously!!
"There's only one race, the human race."
Neanderthal: *What about NASCAR?*
The "human race" is not, of course, a race. It's a species. That silly egalitarian meme is just sloppy moralizing.
People
so came here because of Seton Academy?
Interesting facts great video
Nice to know how my ancestors hunted 🤘🏼
they might be strong when it comes to raw strength they have alot of problems they don't possess something that humans had
1.Humans have flexible bones and tend to be faster sprinter
2.Great intelligence-the large portion of their brain is more connected to eye sight their eye sight is 10% brighter than humans
The Humans survived...the thals didnt....who run the world..humans...
Me and the boys when there is no internet connection
Their habitat reached north to modern day Netherlands / Germany. Not Belgium... National GEOGRAPHIC the irony
Heh. :P
Luc I wonder why there weren't so many in Eastern Europe?
Cold.
they are not our ancestors, but "cousins".

The romans copied the Neanderthal empire
IG of the curator anthropologist? Just for an study we need to make
Shouldn't one of the cold adaptations have been significant body hair to help survive the cold? Like the other creatures of the area, woolly rhino and such. Neanderthals probably looked like humanish gorillas.
H. sapien brains are wired differently from those of the Neanderthal.
Short in stature, with large jaws, sloping foreheads, and barrel chests. And likely lots of hair for the cold climate.
Native Americans, and South Americans have an even higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA in their DNA genealogy than Europeans.
Neanderthals didn't look like that. Read the book
Them and Us: How Neanderthal Predation Created Modern Humans
Used to get bullied for my occipital bun, ever since I was a small child. But now I know it goes deeper than just a weird head shape.
so im just gonna say this video is 4 minutes and 20 seconds long
21 seconds*
Big brains dont mean high IQ, thats why whales havent taken over. Its more about brain to body ratio which humans have the most of and dolphins have the second most of. Do u see what i mean
so they had bigger brains but were smaller than us. what does that tell u about brain to body size ratio
They haven’t taken over because theyre aquatic and can’t “make” tools to start a revolt and overtake us
Cinder Tek Neanderthals were smaller and had bigger brains than modern humans, so, does that mean they had a better brain to body ratio?
Cinder Tek i see what u mean , oh yeah yeah
@@psibotfx5954 they were very stocky
1.000 Neanderthals vs. 1 Spinosaurus and 1 Tyrannosaurus Rex.
WHO SAID surviving IS EASY
Stop saying Neandertal!!!!!! You say it every 5 seconds!
That's how its pronounced
Neandertal

I'm using this to study my early humans test
They were relatively short, males averaging 5,5.......I'm relatively short...
@Jackal 😑
Lol Randy marsh
:D
The fact that they’re gone and we’re not just shows how lucky humans got.

I’m a Neanderthals because I have a big nose
But do you have a big brain? 🧠
@@immersiveparadox probably not
We still alive, split up, weather worsened, me last caveman- frozen in cold, Ra’Kosh learn softbrains way of life
3:53 Doesn't he look like a prehistoric Trump? 😂
Narrow and thin noses are adapted to cold and large nose for hot climates.
