She shouldn't need a female voice to get into science, I loved Bill nye and other male scientists, you should teach her to appreciate being taught from anyone not just a female, it isn't science for girls it's just science ❤
@@Thebeezzkneezz. Little girls will listen to a pretty young woman and see themselves in her more than a handsome young man. That's just one of the differences between boys and girls. Girls tend to want to see an idealized version of themselves before they take an interest in things, boys are less likely to do this. There's nothing wrong with either, it's perfectly natural. Criticizing a girl for having this inclination is like telling to "stop being such a girly, girl!!" :)
@immortal_shrooms6757 hmm ok but I never really understood that, As an example Tv shows; as a female myself I easily saw myself in the male characters I saw I didn't need a women to look up to to be inspired, I'm not very much into "science" but i enjoy listening to this stuff while I draw cuz its interesting, hearing a different narrator throws me off sometimes, (no hate to the narrator ♡) but thats just me tho
My hypothesis is that Neanderthals didn't back across into Britain, because they were having too much fun with horse racing, which would also explain why the horses never came back at that time too. You know that Neanderthal with the gammy leg? Fell off his horse in a steeple chase. Damn it, now I can't get the image of Neanderthals wearing racing silks and riding boots out of my head.

@@brigidsingleton1596venison used to just mean any game animal hunted in the royal forest, but now it just refers to deer meat. Like how we call cows beef and pigs pork
I believe it was mentioned that Britain at that time was an island. My guess is that maybe the difficulty of getting across the 'English Channel' was just enough that the gene pool of the Neanderthals that made it across was just too small to survive more than a few generations.
Calling it the "Ipswitchian" makes me imagine the entire span of time taking place in like, a weirdly modern Ipswich. Which, damn yea if I was stuck in Suffolk for 15,000 years I'd go extinct first too
That was a great video! Normally with a bunch of new words and names your brain checks put but the speaker was so eloquent with great pacing, made it easy to follow and enjoy!
Would the sinking of Dogger land perhaps answer some of these questions. They already found some human remains under the water where Dogger land was as well as pottery and tools. Maybe that is where the humans were during that time period.
Hippo is Greek for horse, and seeing as there's horses still trotting through London (often bloody and crazed), then technically there are hippos in London 😂
Having helped excavate a mammoth tooth on Dover beach a few years ago, which was about 8000 years old, your film fills me with questions! Really enjoyed this.
Great video and I learned heaps about Britain's prehistory. My only criticism (constructive) is that Neanderthal is pronounced Neander(t)aal with a 't' sound and not a 'th' sound. This is because they are named after the Neander Valley in Germany and the german pronunciation is used, meaning the h is effectively silent. Overall a really well researched and interesting video, and it was really well presented! 😁
Fascinating. I am American and so the ice age education I have only encompasses the USA, some of Canada, and Russia + East Asia because of the land bridge. I’ve never been exposed to any information about Britain’s ice age. I’m loving it!
This was so clearly presented & in such an interesting way that I was able to follow along w/ very little trouble. Hippos in Britain! Who knew! I think the Neanderthals discovered riding, got on those horses, & scooted south for a 15K year vacay! Yeah? More like these, if you would be so kind, & I enjoy Emilia's presentation style.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you don't sensationalize or add your own personal opinion it's just the actual facts thank you so much for that
Maybe the flooding event in the English channel created such a intergenerational trauma & misunderstanding of what was happening & why that they were scared to go there for a long time?
The auto subtitles really tried their best. I know it takes a bit more effort, but TH-cam has a tool where you feed in the script, and it connects it to the audio, and it would really make videos more accessible - and it would be easier to take terms and search them having the spelling

Very informative and well presented! Thank-you for posting this. You get extra bonus kudos for including "I wanna hippopotomus for Christmas". 'Love it!
Believe it or not, our ancestors NEARLY went extinct 900,000 years ago and were restcited to the shorelines. There were only a few thousand of them left. No one knew what caused such a near extinction, but our ancestors managed to survive.
That is the premise of 2001 A Space Odyssey. It begins with humans nearing extinction and being saved by the ability to use tools. It’s not a very plausible idea now we know many animals use tools. But at least it’s a coherent narrative
Had to watch 3 times, great video, clearly spoken and well put together. Presenter way too pretty tho, didnt hear anything for the first few minutes was in awe of her natural beauty.
“You say {Ger-lass-Ial} I say {Ger-Lace-Ial} let’s call the whole thing off”. 😂 Actually I loved this and could listen to this engaging young lady filling my brain with interesting stuff all day.
Neanderhals were bad at navigating. We only know of a very short coastal leg they made ever in all Prehistory: between coastal Greece and an island barely off shore. This may be an explanation for Neanderthals not reaching the Atlantic Islands if they were not there before.
"Bad at navigating" may have been a stretch. Perhaps inexperienced at crossing large bodies of water? I'm sure their navigational skills were fine considering how long they existed and how far they spread.
Humans made their second home in Australia right after Africa. And we continued to spread by boat at a rate unlike any humans before us; so more accurately it's just that we're awesome at navigating. For a great ape, they were probably fairly good navigators, just not compared to us
@@WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou - Archaeology suggests that they were really terrible at navigating because we don't observe them crossing bodies of water anywhere (with that Greek exception I mentioned). We see them walk all the way to Altai and Yemen even but they never crossed Gibraltar or Bab el Mandeb like we did, or to Crete, Philippines and Flores as seems some other sort of archaic humans did (pretty awesome but still not Neanderthals). Neanderthals were strong, smart, short legged and not into boating nor ranged weapons.
@@LuisAldamiz navigating and sailing were two different skills. Neanderthal has very good land navigation skills that likely translated over onto the water as well. What they lacked was long distance sailing skills. The ability to predict and analyze water currents and tidal interactions.
Im watching from Dudley uk , your very nicely spoken but I pronounce a few things differently as expected due to my accent, I have herd a lot of what you talking about over my life time. I'm so pleased someone so much younger and better spoken is reminding me and educating others. Well done.
Britain was not truly separated from the continent until the mesolithic. Rising sea levels had made the land bridge low lying and marshy at times in the preceeding 15,000 years, but the final creation of what now know as the English Channel happened in 6100BC with the tsunami caused by the Storegga Slide - a submarine sediment slip off the coast of Norway. Until that point, populations of humans and animals could migrate back and forth between Britain and the continent.
Did you blow all the channel's budget to hire a jawdropping 10 to narrate the episode, or is that the most beautiful nerd in existence? I feel my heart going interglacial
8:22 Slight correction there - it was P. spelaea not P. leo that occured there. Cave lions were able to live in the warmer climate too. African lions are unknown from Britain outside captive specimens.
So, I take it that during the last interglacial period in Britain, the Ipswichian interglacial period, from 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, no people lived in Britain, even though the climate was mild. But during the interglacial period before then, the Hoxnian (?) interglacial of about 250,000 years ago, they did. I would guess that toward the end of the two preceding ice ages, conditions got so cold that people could not live in Britain and had to live well south of it, the closest area perhaps southern France. In both cases the region warmed up quickly, allowing people to spread northward again. 250,000 years ago, people spread northward quickly enough to re-enter Britain before the seas rose behind them as the interglacial period reached its warmest temperature. But during the last interglacial, around 125,000 years ago, the people spread northward not quite as quickly and by the time they reached northern France, the land bridge to Britain was now underwater and they could not make it.
I think it's safe to say that no inhabitant of Britain, sapiens or otherwise, has ever uttered the thought: "Oh it's so hot here, let's go to the south of France to cool off!"
The environmental pressure was so harsh that it resulted in the natives of the UK having one of the highest rates of geniuses today. The weather there truly is awful.
"Lions and tigers and bears? Lets French outta here." "Yeah, it's warm and there's hippos and elephants too." "That's fine, the ivory trade can wait." Jokes, but actually a really well presented video, of a really interesting time period.
Brilliant narration that serves as the window into the prehistoric past of Britain 👏🏾. I have a question though. We know that during interglacial or warmer periods the sea levels rise and the landbridges of the glacial period get inundated. So how is it that during every interglacial period the prehistoric animals cross Mediterranean sea to enter mainland Europe and then cross English channel to enter Britain? Most land mammals can manage to wade through few feet of river waters but hundreds of feet of sea water?! Or should we assume that the interglacial periods were warm enough for flora and fauna to thrive but really not warm enogh to melt the land bridges formed during glacial period? But that would be a too convenient fact. Nevertheless an interesting piece of history👍🏾
The classic British past time, leaving Britain.
I thought it was leaving Europe.
These are both great digs. I appreciate alot.

Why weren't there humans in Britain? Because there were bloody hippos, that's why!

"Lions and tigers and bears? Lets French outta here."
"Yeah, it's warm and there's hippos and elephants too."
"That's fine, the ivory trade can wait."
Jokes, but actually a really well presented video, of a really interesting time period.
Brilliant narration that serves as the window into the prehistoric past of Britain 👏🏾. I have a question though. We know that during interglacial or warmer periods the sea levels rise and the landbridges of the glacial period get inundated. So how is it that during every interglacial period the prehistoric animals cross Mediterranean sea to enter mainland Europe and then cross English channel to enter Britain? Most land mammals can manage to wade through few feet of river waters but hundreds of feet of sea water?! Or should we assume that the interglacial periods were warm enough for flora and fauna to thrive but really not warm enogh to melt the land bridges formed during glacial period? But that would be a too convenient fact. Nevertheless an interesting piece of history👍🏾
Great work 👍
Great video, more please.
Ohhhhh I just wish it was longer lol great video!
