John, I find your videos absolutley fascinating. Please continue your work - there are SO FEW credible and interesting sources about early human species, and yours is the best of the best. Thanks for doing what you're doing and keep up the good work!!
Very thorough descriptions and comparisons. Superb attention to morphological details. Rational suppositions about genetic diversity. I respect the level of study this took. Scholarly presentation.
Wonderful channel. Really, thank you. I hope though that the series "Ancient Genomes" continue. As far as I know we've had 2 episodes. Furthermore - when/if there's enough: time, money ánd courage I'd love to see a likewise episode about cranial diversifications and variations amongst and between present modern peoples. The ratio we differ amongst eachother could say something about the same ratio's of Erectus and other extinct hominids.
Well, it's a lab, not an office, and see all those cabinets back there? He stores the skulls (actually reproduction plaster or resin casts) in them when he's not using them.
What morphological changes are considered significant enough to classify fossils as different species? If there is a clear distinction between early and later Homo erectus, wouldn’t that indicate a speciation event?

I agree! Nice to have someone talk about paleo anthropology who actually has significant education in its background.
Hunter VA1989 :;;:BULL SHIT,, science already prove there are NO Neanderthal traits In Africans, and no bonobo mutant came from there either

Many thanks for your pleasant to read blog and for this exciting education channel.

My favorite hominin. H. erectus. :)
Thank you. I believe the orientation of the sphenoid bone is the key to how the brain case sits.
Amazing videos!
Thanks.
Homo erectus is a fascinating subject. They were around for so long. Is early HE very different to later HE?
I think working in an office with all those skulls on the desks would start to give me the heebie-jeebies after a while.

my dad in the next life what a cool guy
Nice video
