- For the first time, scientists have found a Neanderthal fossil that appears to have come from an individual with Down Syndrome. This find may provide us with important information about how Neanderthals cared for each other! This is a summary of a recent scientific paper "The child who lived: Down syndrome among Neanderthals?".

Joke aside, very beatiful proof of human compassion in prehistory
The idea that ppl are evil us leftist propaganda. Socialism is evil.
Neanderthals were humans the same way we are. Same Genus, different species.
I see it more like other human species show other ways of being human. They are a different species precisely because of the differences, not the similarities. They were not just like us.. they were stronger and more robust, had better senses. And although they had larger brains, they were wired differently, with much more brain space dedicated to the occipital lobe and less to the prefrontal cortex.. hence better vision, better low light vision, but not the same level of cognition as us. Smart yes... but not inventive in the same ways as us.
@@SeanMahoneyfitnessandartright. Their lack of cognitive ability in comparison to us wasn't just due the organization of their brains, when you adjust for overall robustness or body mass, they actually have significantly smaller brains. FE: if they were the exact same size as us, their brains would only be around 1100-1200 cc compared to our 1350-1400 cc
Same species, different subspecies.
Thank you for a neat video about the compassion of the ancient Neanderthal people. I wish modern people would take a cue from them.
good video thanks. BUT..... the sound quality is a bit average
Thank you for the feedback, will definitely fix that in future!
@@NewCreationClips I was going to make the same comment! Specifically, your volume is very, very low. (But I loved the video--thank you for this!)
Way below average.
You need a mic or to up the amplitude on your audio. Volume way to quiet.
Good content if you can hear it, but couldn't hear it very well.
Maybe you could find an edit tool to up the volume?
I have known a number of people who once their gums healed they pretty much ate what they want...
Tooth decay is common in the poor and drug addicts.
I can easily see the Neanderthal coping without teeth in just a few weeks and thriving in the weeks to follow.
Can't hear this well enough to enjoy it.
You forgot 'Palais du Luxembourg' as a Neanderthal site.
MTG?
Good info… enjoyed video very much
They referenced humans for the plate joining, but it was a Neanderthal. It is just as likely that Neanderthal fusing age is different to humans. If they checked the fusing of all great apes and they are about the same age that would be fair, but by just checking humans doesn't seem that solid to me. I could be wrong however.
Awesome video and content but the audio quality makes it hard to watch.
Voted the vieo down on that basis.
You need to increase the volume
I know a couple of these fellas at my work
Just heads-up that this is a creationist channel. If that's what you believe religiously, totally fine, but this is not a scientific channel at its core.
Yeah the name of the channel is "new creation clips".
@@WillyOrca true, but there are plenty of people who would not get that at first. The way they present information is also misleading at best, downright disingenuous at worst. Nobody should be using this as a source of info.
@@woofawoof7616Why not?
@@RealMrMizter creationism is not science. I don't begrudge people the right to their beliefs, but promoting creationism as science and fact is a blatant attempt at perpetuating misinformation, and continues the unfortunate Christian tradition of proselytizing.
Interesting as always. We should remember though that , even though we have good evidence that some individuals wirh healrh issues were being cated for, we also have evidence of interpersonal violence and even cannibalsm from other sites. So.... Neanderthals were probably just as mixed a bunch as we are.
On a personal note I think the "old man" from Dmanisi is the best and most interesting example...... possibly because Im an old man with no teeth😃. Seriously, I do quite a bit of foraging and in normal circumstances could probably survive all right on what I collect , but I would certainly have starved if forced to do so just after losing my teeth. And thats with modern equipment available. Im sure the Old man had help.
We have a bad opinion about neanderthals? I don't know any.... except that guy at the bar the other night.... But eould they have realized that there was an issue with the child? If not does not show anything.
That's the genetic ancestor of politicians.
No, they didn't. They found a trump supporter.
Downs* Syndrome.
depends on the country. shockingly not everywhere is the USA
Apparently I have heard that Neanderthal and humans have to be different by the shape of their noses
Vaccines are that old?
No, not as far as we know. But Neanderthals did use the natural forms of aspirin (willow bark) and penicillin (mold) as medication. This knowledge was not regained until the 19th and 20th centuries.
@@walterhelm8186 I was making a joke but that's crazy cool, thank you for sharing.
@@walterhelm8186 I remember reading about willow bark but their understanding of penicillin I would like to know more about.
@@hippopilot6750let me tell you about heartache and the loss of God. Wandering, wondering through hopeless night. Out here on the perimeter there are no stars. Out here we is stoned. Immaculate.
I think it's awesome that humans were showing compassion back. It is so sad that some countries and people today want to kill all humans with downs before they are born.
fake
title describes Trump. hate on me.
I mean neatherthals are humans, descended from Adam and Noah, just like you. And humans with Downs are some of the most awesome people you'll ever meet.
@@truthisbeautiful7492 adam and noah had kids?
@davidroosa4561 no. Adam and eve had children. Noah is descended from Adam and eve. Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives were on the Ark. Only 8 people were on the Ark, everyone else died in the global flood judgment. You are descended from Noah. Since Noah is descended from Adam, you also are descended from Adam. Adam was the representative of humanity before the Creator God, and he rebelled against Him. Because of His rebellion, he and all his descendents suffer sickness, sin, and death. That's why this world is filled with sin, evil and suffering. The good news is that God sent His eternal Son into the world, and His Son lived a perfect human life, obeying God's Law perfectly. The Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, died on the cross in the place of those who trust in Him, and rose physically and literally from the dead. He is alive today. Jesus is truly God and truly Man, truly human. If you repent of your sin and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, your sins will be forgiven. Will you trust the Lord Jesus Christ?
You obviously want to have a science channel, why bring religion into it?
