- He was said to be the 'First European', our mystic brother out of the ice age. Nobody knows exactly, why he disappeared 30,000 years ago. It was in 1856 when the first bones of this prehistoric man where discovered in Germany. Since that time the Neanderthal is surrounded by mystery. How much of him does still exist inside us? For more than 13 years scientists of the Max-Planck-institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have been working on the deciphering of the Neanderthal genome.
Director: Tamara Spitzing, Jörg Müllner - บันเทิง
I have 2% Neanderthal DNA, 98% being west European. I was astonished when I got my DNA results, several years ago. West European, yes, as expected. But I never, for one second, thought I had Neanderthal DNA. At that time, I didn’t know that ANYONE had ANY Neanderthal DNA. I have to say that I was delighted. 2 % isn’t much, but still, Neanderthal lives on in me. 2 years later, my husband got his DNA analyzed and HE had 6% Neanderthal! The remaining 94% was largely east European. It seems to me that the Neanderthal people didn’t go extinct, they just got absorbed into the other, more numerous humans that came calling. They all mixed together, so we still carry some of their DNA. I wish I could find a specifically Neanderthal piece of myself but it’s kind of like the one teaspoon of vanilla in a cake. It’s a flavor, a bit of essence.
Actually it isnt anything like that vanilla cake. You can find more info in the video called "The White Supremacy Gene". The author has included the work from a Nobel Prize winning Phd. It is very eye-opening!
Well it worked out OK for you, didn't it ? All The Best fellow cave dwellers
I too have less Neanderthal DNA than my Polish and Eastern European In-Laws. As a baker, I so appreciated your “vanilla” apology, I had a good chuckle!
I too am thrilled to know that Neanderthals live through us, even though we maybe the reason for their extinction! It’s a very important message to us…may we eagerly listen…so we don’t further destroy the extraordinary planet and all the remarkable life that lives within it!
Cheers from across the pond!🇨🇦😊🇨🇦
@@shelleyhender8537 I would like to see the results of these tests being performed specifically upon members of the base-Mongolian population. Those facial types may demonstrate a higher percentage of Neanderthal characteristics. Slavic peoples like Poles and Russians have a greater percentage of Mongolian origins. As I said before, Putin comes to mind.
My 23+me DNA found I have 12 percent Neanderthal. The rest French, plus a drop of native American+a drop of German.
A very interesting video....! People often ask me, why do I get up so early?
Well, this is one of the reasons why---to learn!
To keep an "old" mind alive, NEVER STOP LEARNING!
And that’s precisely my aim: lifelong learning no matter how old I am.
I am looking for good teachers on youtube. Some are very wrong about Neanderthals. Not just what they looked like. Some are saying Neanderthals were not kind. Trying to make them monsters. Yet many of us have them in our DNA. I do trust Pro Chris Stringer. BNHM.
We never stop learning from the time we are born, until we die. If you refuse to learn, God uses everything He created to Wake you up from your dead spirit.
Accept Jesus and God. Accept The Holy Spirit, He is a Man, and He is here.

They keep saying that the first neanderthal bones were found in the neander valley. But thats absolutely not correct. The first Neanderthal remains were found at sites in Belgium and Gibraltar in 1830 and 1848 respectively, BUT they weren't recognised as such until decades later.
The last home of the neanderthal was down by Gibralter.
That rings bells. There has been more DNA testing in the last few years.
The Neanderthals projecting brow ridges and frontal face area being so much larger than moderns would also have given them the ability to take harder blows to their heads without damaging their brains. A big advantage when they had to live a rough and tumble life as closeup big game hunters.

35 years ago, an international symposium on research related to Neanderthals in the Balkans was held in Belgrade at the Academy of Sciences. During the lunch that was organized for the participants of the symposium, to the astonishment of the archaeologists present, the waiters who served the archaeologists corresponded in appearance, body structure and stature to the idea that there is about the appearance and stature of Neanderthals. Those modern "Neanderthals" served the guests in silence and after lunch they left the hall in silence. That joke was thought up by the organizer of the symposium who wanted to prove that there are still descendants of Neanderthals living among us today, which the organizer of the symposium collected from all over Serbia according to their build and appearance.
But why waiters? Kind of subservient.
@@toughr1506 Those persons who were found and selected just for that occasion because of their anthropological characteristics and who
accepted to participate in that joke as waiters at a lunch arranged for archaeologists, they were of different professions, education levels and professions. Their occupations and education did not affect their voluntary participation in that joke, but their appearance, physique and physical characteristics were solely decisive. One of those people who acted as waiters at that lunch for the archaeologists was my father, who was an officer in the army of the Yugoslav state.

@@liamjohanssen7888 Yeah, the mystical Neanderthal genetic memories were not believable, but still entertaining.
@@freesk8 yeppp
@@freesk8 The real history is fascinating tho. At their most prolific, in western Europe, there was about 15,000. This conclusion was reached after dna studies which showed very little genetic diversity, which is a sign of a small population. Only about 400 complete skeletons have been found thus far. The oldest remains, about 350,000 years ago, were found at the bottom of a 160 foot shaft in Northern Spain. We know the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Russia, all had neanderthal populations, with many dying out about 40,000 years ago. We know alot about their habits, some of which contributed to their demise. There were not many children of the mixture with Homo Sapiens as the male children were often sterile
I am so-o-o-o glad the narrator mentions that Neanderthals were human beings. These days, we know so much more about this group and everything about them screams "human being.!". Archaeologists have discovered a fourth example of Neanderthal art, the four locations being: 1) Gorham's Cave, 2) Bruniquel Cave, 3) Ardales, and, 4) most recently, Einhornhöhle. I consider them to be homo sapiens neanderthalensis. They had art, they buried their dead, they cared for their sick and vulnerable (in at east two examples, the persons affected would have died without the love and care of their fellow Neanderthals. And they synthesized the first known substance, a sort of pitch made from birch bark.
No, they aren't us, but they do show that there is more than one way of being human. I'm proud of my little bit of Neanderthal--they survived for over 300,000 years in an extremely challenging environment. It remains to be seen if we can do as well.
I'm glad too .
Sometimes, I feel less than human when things go wrong , and I throw a wobbler .
My 23 and Me DNA test stated , Neanderthal was very much prevalent in my DNA.

@@keithawhosoever5384Greetings, my fellow hybrid!! I hope to get my test run soon. I sure have the short stocky build and when young I was very strong. I suspect my Neanderthal will test out high.

je pense que l'hostilité est dans le racisme méprisant envers les néanderthal
@@keithawhosoever5384 Mine too!! So who slept with the Neanderthals ? Adam or Eve?
Eve, duh.
Better to say “We haven’t found any art that we can prove to be Neanderthal,” than “They created no art.”
There is some artwork that we aren't sure whether it belongs to early modern Humans, late Neanderthals...or some hybrid population or even mixed population. Neanderthals are rather too uncomfortably close to humans and did leave us 20% of their genome distributed across our species. Surprisingly enough, their numbers were so low and they were so distributed, that Neanderthals, after contact with modern Humans, had Human x and y chromosomes and Human mitochondria. Our sex chromosomes were more robust than theirs and survived better in their own lineages.
Was cave art created exclusively by modern humans? That part really got to me too. Art, imho, makes life worth living.
@@margo3367 They made jewelry, they probably tattooed themselves, carved tools from stone, bone and shell and carved votives. Cave painting comes in there somewhere, too, I think.
Hmm, so the Europeans with Neanderthal DNA invented just about everything in the modern world whilst subsaharan Africans invented … basically … nothing? I wonder why?
How old is this? They have found shells tiny matching with tiny holes for necklaces and some other things I believe, but they are what 500,000 years old other then a fossil.have we ever found anything like a painting survive that long
The question of "why did we survive and they did not" is answered in this video: "We could kill at a distance!". That is a total winner - we could literally eat their breakfast. (Or kill them, and they could not fight back). No other combination of issues could ever match this one alone.
We bred them out of existence
not too bright are you? smh
Based on archaeology of their behavior, Neanderthals were neophobic and xenophobic. They preferred small groups of basically their own family. They would accept harm to themselves rather than migrate. They achieved certain technology and then stopped improving it. Sapiens, on the other hand, showed evidence of gathering in much greater numbers even early in our evolution history. Many families, of hundreds of people. Sheer numbers could have overwhelmed a neanderthal tribe.
All those layers of limestone in the Neanderthal valley suggests ancient sea beds. That valley didn’t look the same for 40,000 years. Ice ages also intervened. Climate change also had to play into the dwindling populations of Neanderthals. Spread out populations separated by ice, seas, etc, reduced perpetration of the species. Climate has much more to do with this story.
If anyone wants to see what a Neanderthal looked like and interacted with each other all they have to do is come to my grandparents place at Thanksgiving and watch some of my relatives.
Damn! What’s on the menu, stuffed Wooly Mammoth? Mmm save me a tusk!

Thanks for the laugh!

That s very honest of you to admit mr trump
a fascinating fiction story of Neanderthals interacting with humans written by a scientist-Clan of the Cave Bear. It's one of my favourite of all time..
That would be the Earths Children series...The first book Clan of the Cave Bear is definitely the best in the series imo.
Fantastic book! Author, Jean M Auel. She wrote the fantasy novels based on hers and other's research. There are several books in that series of them. The Earth Series. Best real ancient history mixed with fantasy reading ever ❤❤❤
Yes, i always wanted a prequel dealing with the early life of Creb
If you liked "Clan of the Cave Bear" you might enjoy a similar book called "Reindeer Moon"; I enjoyed it a great deal myself
Hi, I am always amazed by the reaction of people’s astonishment about a group of humans that lived over 40,000 years ago as if there is not a modern equivalent amongst us today. Have you not seen, heard or red about Australian Aborigines whose ancestors have lived in Australia for over 55,000 years! Think about it, if they were present there so long ago, think about the journey they must have made to get there from Africa?!! The difference and at the sameness of humans is mind boggling! Cheers mate. Harera
I keep on looking for possible candidates who might have inherited characteristics. One fellow I met had a much shorter lower leg portion, compared to the upper portion.
Denisovans?
Back when one could walk from Indonesia & down into what is PNG today.
I have a great book called 'After the Ice' & no matter how many times I've read & gone over the book....I still am drawn back to it. Inside it talks of documented river beds with tools &even burials of bodies well over 50,000 yrs old.
I love all to do with Australia, I grew up there back in the 70'-90's. I saw a documentary on findings of an ancient species of marsupial lion, found in a cave on the Nullabor plain where they'd gone in to hunt, but couldn't get out. There were so many other things that must be yet to be discovered all over our planet.
PURE B ll..
neanderthals died out 50,000 years ago..
modern man has only been alive 15,00 years by dna ,, the clovis and preclovis..
homo sapiens,, an apelike hominid,, died out 100,000 years ago..
modern man,, homo sapien sapien,, has NOTHING in common with either.. except a similar name.. that was done on purpose to confuse the masses..
aborigines have nothing to do with neanderthals
Aborigines were the first out of Africa. I think they walked there around the time of the ice age. They have brilliant minds. Even today up north of Earth man can not find their car keys. I do want to know more. It has been 20 years since I was in collage.
There is a place in Canada known as, Buffalo Jump. When I first learned of this landmark I was told using the most efficient way to hunt an aggresive animal such as a buffalo was using a jump. Meaning humans make noise and drive the buffalo towards a cliff and voila, fresh meat!
Look into history, it’s a ugly one, a method to colonize n control the native Americans
Or you can just pull up to the Arby's drive through. We have the meat is their slogan. I see it all the time in their mailers.
To a certain extent I disagree with the notion, expressed around 25:00, that Neanderthal's technology was static, while modern man's was always changing.
A way to measure stone age technology, is to look at the ratio of a kilogram of stone to the number of centimeters of cutting edges that are made.
For modern man, this ratio would double every 10,000 years. The cutting edges were doubled between 60,000 and 50,000 years doubled. And doubled again between 50,000 and 40,000 years ago. And kept on doubling, every 10,000 years, until the start of the farming revolution which started about 10,000 years ago, where the pace of change increased more rapidly.
In contrast, Neanderthal technology stayed static. It appears their technology didn't start to improve until they encountered modern man, but they were wiped out before they could come remotely close to the stone technology of modern man as of 30,000 years ago.
But, what about before 60,000 years ago? For the first two thirds, perhaps three fourths on modern man being on the earth, our technology was as static as the Neanderthals. And was not really better. It seems that 60,000 years ago, some people realized that they should spend some time experimenting, looking for better ways to do things. It seems to have been a cultural revolution, not an evolutionary revolution. Modern man was capable of doing this earlier, but just didn't. The same may have been true of Neanderthal.
Why would modern man come up with this idea while Neanderthal didn't? 60,000 years ago, the population of Africa is estimated to have been ten times greater than that of Europe. It may have been just more probable that this cultural revolution would take place in Africa and not in Europe. And not something that Neanderthal was simply incapable of doing. We will never know.
If We, Homo Sapiens, could even survive close to 300,000 years, that would be our greatest achievement.

@@arcticgoddess yes ! The most ancient blood type of human, at the time most of the food was meat from animals and fruits to pick up. Then humanity start to set up and being sedentary, began to produce vegetables and cereals…
Neanderthals produced cave paintings that, in many cases, have great detail. Why are you saying they didn't produce any art???!

It is east to see how previous generations thought of Neanderthals as inferior humans just as many modern humans think of the few remaining hunter/gatherers as inferior. Of course, when babies of the hunter/ gatherers are reared by modern societies, they prove to be equally intelligent. It is unfortunate that the Neanderthals weren't able to become farmers with stable villages, have extra food for thinkers to have time to develop a written language and have formal education for the young. On the other hand, modern humans are doing a very good job of being diverse.
how do we really know they didnt have language, stable villages or formal education for the young? Are you kidding me? you must not know how the world is, after just a few thousand years EVERYTHING is erased from the archilogical record, even the United States, if it collapses after only 5 thousand years or less there will be NOTHING left, even Mt Rushmore (which is in the middle of nowhere and future generations thousands of years from now will be lucky to even find the fukr) will be heavily cracked and 3/4 covered in vines /foliage !! i dont understand why people just Assume Neanderthals had no language/ societies/ or anything cause we cant find it ! its silly, i think they had Tons of stuff and cities even , or at very least fort/towns and commerce, why wouldnt they ?? after 300 THOUSAND years?? your telling me they had nothing?? gimme a break
Some supposed that Neanderthals may have been 'spiritually smarter' than us. They had better instincts and wouldn't have remained in the path of water storms like tsunamis. Like most life forms, but not us, the Neanderthals instinctually move for safer ground. Beware- research this too much, and the shortcomings of our current theory of evolution begin to crack.😢
wow, this was great, I watch alot of videos, this is the best one this year, so well done
My 6th great grandfather was from palatinate Germany. There was some question if our ancestors were from Sweden. My genetic profile revealed 97% more neanderthal genes compared to the general population. This seems to be consistent with understanding of my family’s ancestry.
white Europeans are descendants of Neanderthals. That's why we are stronger and smarter.
My great-great grandparents were also from the Palatinate, and I also have about 97% more Neanderthal than the general population. No idea why. I thought it might have been from my other side of the family, from England and Wales.
Me, also.
Surely they could have got actors who look much more like The Neanderthals on this documentary, who look like modern human beings, with beards and long hair, especially the blond haired child who looks nothing like Neanderthal. The only thing the same is way they dress hunt etc.
@@verybigkittens7550yep..it's giving Clan of the Cave Bear vibes 🤣

Why are humans the ONLY species with no sub species? hmmm?
It is like the distinction between wolves and dogs, they can interbreed, and, are basically the same.
Uh.... no. But E for effort
Head shape was formed that way because of eating mostly meat. stronger teeth & early growth of teeth…. forward eyebrows because of constant sun rays hitting eyes.

Cannibalism isn’t so shocking really. In the Western Hemisphere from North to South, indigenous peoples practiced cannibalism both ritualistically and nutritionally in every region.
Kuru is what makes it shocking
Probably one of the factors which allowed them to survive 300 k + years.
This must be an older video. We now know that there were others in the Far East - a different species: the Denisovans, with whom some of the Homo sapiens mated.
So....there were several....maybe more we yet do not have evidence of. And they were not discriminating among each other. They used the waterways to travel, because the romans were not yet there to lay down roads.
They took their boats along ice and snow in search of prey. Maybe even into north-America.
Our children do not learn survival skills. They are kept weeping dependant babies for a long time.
Yes, we invented wonderfull weaponry.
Living in small communities did not require a leading organisation, just a strong and/or wise leader for a certain time would do. When groups grew larger, leaders emerged, the position became tight to their family. Easy for the people, no more time-consuming and conflict-rousing choosing. Religion was allready firmly based in these societies: life is filled with problems, difficulties, dilemma's, fear, uncertainty, doubt, care for families or even peoples. They must have longed for answers, and some with psychological insights (positive or/and negative) provided.
Do not underestimate the role of children: they talk, sing, run, dance all day long; they are curious, never tired, inventive. Adults are too busy to talk. Hunters have to be quiet. Women have much contact with children, care for them, so will communicate much more than men.

I can see a little bit of the Neanderthal in your thumbnail.
My son received the same result! It gave me a giggle because l always thought his Dad looked like a modern Neanderthal(a smart handsome one❤) his family had a lot of German.
Awhile ago, Nat Geo did a Human Genome mapping project. I submitted a DNA swab and it came back that I had 2.5% Neanderthal & Denisovan DNA, a smidge higher than average. I think that's cool!
That’s cool. Wonder what you look like. Where are you from? Are you from Asian descent?
Not Asian. My father was English, my mum Danish. Brown, curly hair, blue eyes, pale skin.
Nearly everyone does ,Gomer
I came with about 3 to 4% neanderthal and denisovan , I literally have a bit of every part of the world on my genetics but my biggest part is European and Native American and Asian on my native side .
Very interesting documentary, however the conclusion at 31:30 that the Neanderthal had a disabled left arm and a strong right arm, can never be sustained because it assumes that these bones come from the same person. That conclusion is an assumption, because these bones might well be from two different persons.
I seriously bet they tested them
Commonality has more convincing power. So there have been numerous reports that the lowest limb, from angle to knee, is universally found to be be much shorter on Neanderthals. A characteristic to be relied upon which aids climbing? That plus I know a modern human with that trait, and might he have inherited that?
Somebody was disabled. The healed fracture of the ‘elbow’ is easy to recognize and difficult to mistake. The conclusion stands.
DNA takes the guesswork out of it
My uncle looked very much like a Neanderthal: prominent brow ridge,slightly sloped forehead, barrel chest, diet of rare meat and fat, he loved fat. I’m interested in taking a DNA test myself to see?
I grew up around a lot of people of Slavic ancestry, and no offense as I have some of that ancestry myself, but they seem to have this recurrent characteristic robust look: short, muscular body, large head, wide, high cheekboned face, large wide-spaced eyes, broad nose, and thick hair. Also prominent body and facial hair on the men. They seem to look like people who were made for the cold climates they come from. I wonder if these features have anything to do with the Neanderthal DNA influence?
Hate to tell you, but there is no blazing heat in Düsseldorf, Germany no matter the time of year. No need to be overly melodramatic this storing is interesting on its own.
Neaderthals did not disappear, they still lived against us by in-breading....

One theory is they are descendants of the Atlantean race who escaped before the alleged catastrophe. Another biblical theory suggests “celestial” origins; the result of the “Fallen Angels” interbreeding with human women which is elaborated upon in the “Book of Enoch.” Conveniently omitted from the modern Bible (during a revision) and only coming to light with the relatively recent discovery of the “Dead Sea Scrolls” mid-last century (1946-56.) There are certain physical & psychological traits that also seem common among RH negative people including a higher IQ score and -in many cases extra vertebrate in the spine.
Extremely interesting information: I didn't know many of the facts presented here. For example, about the times of genetic mixing of homo sapiens and Neanderthals. But I always guessed about their short childhood, early adulthood, harsh and short life. And also about their art: they say, the Neanderthals left us nothing of artistic products - but it is possible that this inexorable time destroyed all artistic works. And it is quite likely that homo sapiens also exterminated it...
J ai apprécié ce petit retour au passé
Wouldn't Neanderthals and Modern Humans Have had dark skin and black hair back 35-40 thousand years ago?
I firmly believe every cell past and present makes us connected to the day the first living cell developed.
ah bravo 👍👏
I'm a proud Westman and proud of my ancestors... blessings
Where did that first cell come from?
Documentário espetacular! Parabéns !
Regarding the alleged cannibalism…would it not be logical that the eaten ones might have been eaten by the arriving new homo sapiens? The eater would survive the eaten were dead.
The flint work they left behind is so beautiful, it could be worn as jewelry. Beauty mattered to them.
It makes me happy to have the ADN of these extraordinary people .perhaps also the blue color of eyes and red hair , inherited from them
ADN ???🤔🤔🫡🫡🫡
Bravooo!!! You happy offspring of neanderthal !!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
While neanderthals sometimes had red or blonde hair, it is my understanding that these traits in modern human are most commonly attributed to genes derived from homo sapiens, not from neanderthals. I'm not sure if there are instances of neanderthal genes being directly responsible for the trait in modern humans but, given that the trait is most common in populations living where neanderthals lived and carrying relatively high levels of neanderthal genes, I suspect that the combination of cultures may have played a role in selecting this feature for preservation. I'm not sure there's even a way to test whether neanderthal cultural influence affected the preservation of these hair colors but it makes sense to me. It could also have to do with the climate of the region and the lifestyle of the people living there like how pale skin makes it easier to absorb radiation from the sun to produce vitamin D with minimal sun exposure as you'd expect in the winter. Perhaps red hair is just a side effect of a gene responsible for pale skin since "ginger" people tend to have pale skin as well as red hair. It's not actually that surprising that these genes would come from homo sapiens, even some African populations with only very small trace amounts of neanderthal genes sometimes have blonde or red hair. Also, it is my understanding that blue eyes in homo sapiens appeared long after neanderthals went extinct.
My 23 and Me DNA test stated , Neanderthal was very much prevalent in my genes ❗
Not sure how to take that 🤔❓
✝️🆓🇬🇧
no, the blue eye mutation originated in 10000 bc
@@stevenshields1303 Neanderthals went extinct around 38,000 years ago. Some of their traits were still more common in homo sapiens 12,000 years ago than they are today but those were not neanderthals, they were homo sapiens.
At the end the narrator says "On each of us" and earlier he says the African population who inhabit south of the continent doesn't have any Neanrdenthal DNA
“Only one race” is propaganda. Caucasoid and Mongoloid have closer and distinct hominid admixture that Negroid and Australoid don’t have. Australoid and Negroid also have admixture from a far more primitive hominid that we don’t have.
They don't have Denisovan DNA either
This was made in 2018, since then, it has been documented that most Africans have Neanderthal DNA too.
We don't know what dna they might have until we find a sample or otherwise know the relation and can pinpoint the gene.
@@laurajaneluvsbeauty9596
Negroid people also possess an additional bone in their feet thought to facilitate them in running faster. There’s been speculation if that adaptation has helped them to excel in sports requiring speed and agility in modern times.
This must be a little old, some of the information is outdated
Wow, I can not believe how uneducated I was. I always thought Neanderthals was just a stage in the development of the human race. Then I have done one of those dna tests and discovered I had 2% of Neanderthal gene in me 😮 I had no idea it was a separate species of men. So fascinating!
33:09 “Their final resting place was always a cave”, really, WTF?
Or a belly... 😬
It was the commercial for “Beyond Meat” when they were discussing the possibility of cannibalism for me! 😂
Quiz for everyone.
If I'm a modern Neanderthal, what modern language would I speak?
A) A language isolate such as Basque
B) An Indo-European language of Asian origin such as Germanic or Hittite

Whose to say homo sapiens weren't the cannibals that devoured them
Maybe you can do a show on our history stolen by the Smithsonian Institute.. So much has disappeared after being handed over to them. We only know what they want us to know..
Yes, it’s called storage. They only have so much floor space to use for displays. If you have earned the credentials, you may schedule a viewing of any specific cataloged item.
Well said.
Imagine being the very last Neanderthal, probably in Spain at Gibraltar. He, his Wife and toddler son maybe collecting Mussels off the rocks, the son slips, his wife goes to grab the boy and they both get washed out by the next big wave. Driven by grief he wanders the land in search of others of his kind but finds none, plenty of the new ones walking about, one day he has a severe pain in his abdomen causing him to fall, hit his head hard, and approx. 1/2 hr. later there's only one species of human remaining.
You probably overestimate his grief
Dork
Your story makes more sense if they were collecting mussels. Going to the beach to work on their physiques doesn't feel right somehow. Surely by the time you're the last of your kind you can forget about getting toned and tanned.

3:55 The most famous bones in history are probably from Lucy, not the first neanderthal found.

Una maravillosa investigación ,conocer a nuestros antepasados y comparar con los humanos actuales , gracias por informarnos
I think all Europeans have Neanderthal DNA I’m from Scotland myself and I wonder if they were in Scotland once and I’d also like to think I have their DNA in me and if their was a way of mapping our family tree since time began along the lines I did have Neanderthal ancestors
I am Scottish 67% born there. I have 3.8% Neanderthal . Go to 23 andme and get tested
Hypothesis: the Neanderthal people have evolved a long time apart before they met with the modern humans; so it can be that they were not resistant to a disease that the modern humans carried with them and as result they where extincted.
Possible. Mais heuressement nous sommes leurs descendants si nous ne sommes pas des africains.
Exactly what happened to native Americans, when they were first exposed to the white man.
Muchas Gracias, Pura Vida y Buen Camino.
Soms vind je nog steeds sporen in woorden, zoals de naam Thalens ook de naam Lens ,maar ook de Azteken offerden hun gevangenen en aten hen op,kannibalisme en ook zij waren opeens verdwenen of vertrokken naar elders , Maya/ Inka’s en in vele talen vinden wij tot op de dag sporen van woorden die zo sterk overeen komen met elkaar zoals opoe of mam / mem / man/ men, zelfs het woord kind = vriendelijk of Kin-D ,ook sommige uitspraken zoals in de Azteken,van A tot Z of Jesa Champiurpi als symbolen de paddestoel en duif in het nest ook het woord nest is waarschijnlijk N-EST ook de naam Esther ,Est = tak- her dat kan ook als heer betekenen of Haar ,ook de vraag waarom het woord rots of steen ( hoeksteen Jesa/ Jes-a / Jesus,Jes-us , ook het woord Neanderthaler,waren dat mensen uit een Thal = T-hal of werd er een streek mee bedoelt zoals een Thal/ dal of de spreektaal Ne-ander/ thal/ er ook het woord Thalidomide/ Domein of de muzieksleutel 🎼 Do mi fa sol la si do ,al die woorden / W.

A fascinating take away was the new finding neanderthal children had a short (or shorter?) childhood. I've always wondered how they had 18yrs for child rearing in such a hostile lifestyle.
la vie était meilleure du temps néanderthal, que dans l'époque et l'endroit moderne hostile, où tu vis actuellement.
I got an early impression there would be things even I could correct in this video. To be fair, this video seems dated and learning about prehistoric humans is a hobby of mine.
1:44 Anatomically modern Homo Sapiens are around 300,000 years old as a species.
1:56 Denisovans, Naledi, Floresiensis... Many other species of human existed within the last 300,000 years. We even interbred with Denisovans and Denisovans also interbred with Neanderthals. We have even found DNA from a specimen that is a direct hybrid between a Neanderthal parent and a Denisovan parent from Denisova cave and, of course, we have traces of Neanderthal DNA in all modern humans from interbreeding with them. It is also fascinating to note that Neanderthals' maternal DNA was largely replaced by an African sourced gene from Homo Sapiens and I believe the dating of this event was around 80,000 years ago.
15:07 I would say that Neanderthals were modern humans. Also, if early Homo Sapiens or any current member of our species from a part of the world in which sprinting is ubiquitous were to compete, Neanderthals would not win any long range sprinting event, they were quick over short distances. I will concede that, at this point in the documentary, the information just seems more dated than misrepresentative. Was this documentary made years ago and only posted on this youtube page recently?
17:54 This is a dated perspective, there were a wide range of diets among Neanderthals, some primarily ate vegetation.
23:34 I thought the narrator already established Neanderthals to be a member of our "human" (Homo) genus. There is some debate as to whether "human" refers broadly to the Homo genus or specifically to Homo Sapiens but this seems like flip flopping on the part of the narrator and it irks me.
25:43 *The last glacial maximum, we're still in the ice age which simply means there is ice at the poles year round. I don't believe any form of hominin or even hominid has ever existed outside of an ice age, which is really why climate change is so scary.
45:20 Ok, at this point it's clear that this video is dated. There are Neanderthal genes found in every population of humans on earth today. The quantity and timing of genetic admixture varies but even the peoples of southern Africa carry trace amounts of Neanderthal DNA from admixture roughly 2,500 years ago transferred through populations of Homo Sapiens between the original interbreeding location(s) and southern Africa. What's really interesting is that, even within one cultural population, the region of the genome which is inherited from Neanderthals varies so that individuals are not known to ever exceed about 6% Neanderthal at the very high end of the scale but about 40% of the Neanderthal genome exists across modern humanity.
48:15 I believe some people still doubt this but it is my understanding that some art or "proto-art" if you prefer that term is attributable to Neanderthals and some of the art attributed to Homo Sapiens in Europe may have actually been produced by Neanderthals. Still the most definitive way to know if art was made by Neanderthals is that it would have existed before Homo Sapiens arrived and the form of art that existed there before the presence of Homo Sapiens is mostly simple and whether it is truly art is debated.
As for the extinction of Neanderthals, it is often overlooked how much the climate was changing as Homo Sapiens expanded into Eurasia. Even before Homo Sapiens established a major presence in Europe, the Neanderthal population was dwindling. Was it climate change? Was it exposure to diseases from Homo Sapiens that spread across the land faster than Homo Sapiens did? My suspicion is that these two factors combined with an advantage Homo Sapiens (especially those with hybrids in their group) had over Neanderthals as the climate of Europe changed to better suit the lifestyle of Homo Sapiens and the two groups were exposed to each other's diseases.
Yes, some of the information presented in this video is VERY outdated.
Looks like the field of evolutionary genetics has been moving has been moving extremely quickly.
Quick retracing of this documentary's genealogu: 2010 German-language documentary - see closing credits at around 52:55 - English version (release apparently around 2018 on MagellanTV as per quick online search).
Fun fact: Svante Päänto (b. 1955), the Swedish scientist featured in this documentary, won the Nobel Prize for Physiology in 2022 for his work in evolutionary genetics.
Actually - Neanderthal genes are NOT found in every human being today. Most Africans, descendants of those who never left Africa, don't have Neanderthal in their genes. On the other hand, thanks for your excellent comment!!
Guess you haven't read about the Campi Fiegrei super Volcano 35 thousand years ago yet. They are now saying this is the likely the primary cause of the Neanderthal extinction. Too few of them and isolated by 35 K and us being more widespread. You have a great comment though. Pretty much on the dot on all your points.
@@algini12 Thank you! For the compliment and the information.
Why your documentary does not quite stack up? the world was a very big place, wooded etc. There were very few humans (Neanderthals or Sapiens). That they bumped into each other was a miracle and due to the fact that we shared a given area over thousand of years, which musch boosted the likelihood of a meetings. That they mated was matter of course: human beings do that. Neanderthal lasted for 350 000 years, longer than us so far. It seems they disappeared due to fertiity issues, which we are also facing. We are also destroying the conditions which make this planet inhabitable, therefore, it could be that we do not last as long as our cousins did. In which case, they will have been "more successful" than us and our "achievements" will amount to little.
When I see documentaries about our early ancestors featuring the remains of an ancient sub-species of human I always wonder if I'm one of their distant descendants. Am I one of the many MANY great-grandchildren of the Neanderthal discovered in the gravel pit or the child of one of the artists who made the stunningly beautiful cave paintings?
Great program 👍🏼
I wonder when was this video created? The grounbreaking Neanderthal genetic discovery led by Svante Pääbo was made at least ten years ago! Why there is no date when it was done???
Wow, at the end, I glimpsed the©️production year: 2010.
How can you push the thirteen year old stuff as a four days old video???!!!
made available and downloaded - 4 days ago. not, created - 4 days ago.
@@novaricos well I was fooled by it for some time.
In fact , tneanderthal is the only one human species who is indigenous in Europe .
“Neandertal man is the most famous German in history!”. AH says, “hold my beer”! 😄
Very interesting really, but I wonder about a possible explanation for the Neanderthal's extnction, - could it be caused by the fact our ancestors were resistant to a disease that was fatal for them? In Mexico during the conquest the Spanish conquistadores, carried with them the disease of Salmonella, which proved fatal for the Aztecs. So only those who were half breed, survived, the pure Aztecs dissappeared.
What if religion was right and there was a kind family and a mean family and the mean family won and called the kind people Neanderthals.
That is generally true for all of the New World.
That seems like a reasonable possibility.
No. There was something called genocide which applies for North America. In central and south America the Europeans mixed with the aborígenes...@@mrbaab5932

Although we are learning more than ever about Neanderthals, there is a profusion of things we do not know. For instance, what if they actually survived, and currently inhabit one of the places that is obscured from us? We're always finding tribes that were unknown to us. The Earth is a large planet with many undiscovered places, despite what the media tells us. When someone makes a firm statement that in later years is found to be untrue, it behooves us to be a bit of a skeptic.

There are ZERO neanderthals left. Watch less sports
We have satellite images now
There are no more isolated tribes that we don't know of
