- “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge”
Recently a team of fossil hunters working in Kenya came upon a set of fossilised teeth and a series of bones. Their find set in motion a chain of events that ignited excitement across the scientific world, for if they were correct in their findings, not only would they have found the oldest human ancestor, but much of the received wisdom humankind’s evolution would have to be rewritten. This programme is the story of their discovery and the implications it has for understanding of how we split from the apes. Dubbed “Millennium Man” by the press, he is twice as old as the most famous skeleton in the world “Lucy”. The remarkable link between Millennium Man and humans is his ability to walk on two legs, overturning previously accepted scientific opinion on why, how and when humans began to walk. As Professor Senut who worked on the project points out, “Science doesn’t proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge” and Millennium Man seems to be challenging an awful lot of accepted science. Documentary first broadcast in 2001.

Oh, yes, you are so right. The high volume really diminishes the appeal of the video.
I couldn't finish this because all the excessive music and over-production is very obnoxious.
Thanks for filming the Kenyan who actually found the fossil, he’s gotten forgotten as things moved on.
I'd never thought I'd see a TV show about one of my own family members.

Technically u see family members in every tv show

If you truly believe that then go to your local Zoo and you can actually talk some of your family members in the Chimpanzee's cage. But watch out! They may recognize you and start throwing their feces in your direction. Haha

It is just amazing how many clues could be found on a single piece of bone that shows how it moved when it was alive. A huge thank you to all scientists for all the amazing work they do to move humanity forward.
Forward? That's to funny!
Yes, and human intelligence has an interesting proclivity to recognize patterns. In the words of the fossil hunter - “It made me want to jump for joy.”

wow i thought it was bunk.
A child asked his father, "How were people born?"
Father said:
"Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on."
The child then went to his mother and asked her the same question and she told him:
"We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now."
The child ran back to his father and said:
"You lied to me! Mom said we came from monkeys!"
His father replied:
"No son, your mom was talking about her side of the family."

I know they add the music to add flavor and excitement but the content is more than sufficiently exciting. The music just detracts from the astounding find.
Too much hype for me. Oh My God we have found an early ancestor. Our find is the most important ever. No. Hype and self advancement.
Nope. The music is fine. You suck.
They lean on fluff and music. Good documentaries communicate more and fluff less.
Agreed
It's either too light and flip, or it can be sinister and suggestive of alien influence. Those presentations also detract from the fascinating science involved.

as someone who was an obsessive tree climber from the age of 5 until disabled in my 50's in my 40's I was still so good that a friend of mine who ran a live performance company, most famously in a forest used me as specialist scaffolding erector reaching up into the canopy, which was quite low at about 40 feet, and I can testify that being bipedal is a huge advantage up in the trees. actually more so in terms of moving around than in the task i was performing. for a start it enabled me to walk along branches wit my arms spread wide which acted like a ballance pole as used by tightrope walkers. it also improved my reach to nearby branches. I believe that Orangutan behavior also shows this and the first time i came across that theory, I knew from experience that it was correct so I think we were walking upright in the trees and this by luck proved superior on the ground for many reasons
If you have any video footage of you climbing and traversing limbs of trees, you should post it with some text describing how you feel bipedalism would have been an advantage in locomotion in trees for any tree dwelling hominid. That would be interesting to see, since you were so good at it.
@@paddlefar9175 Great idea, I hope he will upload the footage someday.

what? this video is one of the worst yet
👁👄👁
Nice
The greatest fact to me is that Jesus rose from the grave and was seen by many people Lucy is only 40% of monkey bones and they added 60% human bone and made it walk. Think about it would you be willing to die for Lucy? Look how many Christians lost their lifes for Jesus they knew who he was they seen the resurection the healing the prophecy's. And one thing the Roman's were very good at was cruifying people that was what they were known for. And they had guards Jew guards and Roman guards blocking his tomb they seen him with his glorified body and they seen angels. And when Jesus died it was 12 noon and it turned black for 3 hours and there was a huge earth quake. They have so many documents from people in that time reporting on it there is so much proof research it and you will see. And the only one I know of in history or anytime was Jesus who could raise himself from the deal and many other people and they have evidence of everything.

Our relationship with the trees is something sacred. Think about how most kids instinctively love to climb trees or play on monkey bars. It's been in our DNA for millions of years.
ridiculous. today , humans still need to climb trees for survival. unless you are a city dweller completely devoid of any experience of living in nature, escaping hostile others , either human or animal. or other reasons people climb trees. No ape ancestors are required .
Yeah look at Treebeard!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The same old regurgitated garbage taught in public Schools. False INFO!
We long ago climbed tree’s so kids not nowdays that much into climbing tree’s, but climbable tree’s kids can still climb. Tree’s were back then place to climb for safety from predators, so that why were into getting back to the tree, but when humans spears. We had no point to climb tree’s anymore, when we could fight the predators now and so humans started to slowly lose intrest in tree’s.
@@jout738 there are tribes that still live in trees in remote areas around the world the Korowia tribe build their homes 100 feet off the ground in 🌳s an spend alot of their time living off the ground in trees.

Excellent documentary.... thanks 🌻
At 3-years-old, my eldest would climb thin trees and poles by gripping with his toes and hands. At the time I didn't appreciate the link; I was just fascinated with the way in which he did it. He would get up really high. Then one day I watched a documentary with baby chimps and my jaw dropped because baby chimps and baby humans are SO similar!!

I appreciate documentaries where scientists explain how they came to various conclusions. These aren’t wild guesses - they’re bits and pieces of information gleaned from many years of fastidious research done by thousands of experts. Thumbs up.
0 evidence. 0 facts. 0 truth.
All assumption based on fantasy.
Well said, Arthur. I really do wish that they had made some reference to the Aquatic Theory of human evolution though. I know some people disagree with it, but I find it to be very sensible.
@@winterrain1947
Nothing about evolution's convoluted patchwork of assumption makes ANY sense.
@@davidjackson6152 I know at first evolution is a very confusing subject. So many theories to keep track of after all, and in order to really understand it you need to read up about DNA and RNA and geography and historical weather patterns and all that. But keep trying. If you haven't yet, I really recommend you try Elaine Morgan's books about the aquatic theory of human evolution. She was not actually an anthropologist and can be a bit sarcastic, but I thought it was pretty funny and she made some very good points.
@@winterrain1947
I have. Alot. That served only to reinforce my absolute disbelief in the absurd notion that chance and time, and more than 6 dozen impossibilities led to all that we see.
Speciation cannot be explained, let alone observed.

Outstanding, informative video! This is why TH-cam is such a great media platform. If you choose to do so, you can learn so much on a wide variety of topics, including recent developments in science and technology.
blvany ...MIGHT learn a few things but, if yr referring to the above vid, we, study just an eye & it's miraculous functioning, or, an ear & how IT works! THEN tell me how many MULTIPLE BILLIONS of yrs it would take just for ONE of them to grow in a slimey, muddy ppnd. NOT POSSIBLE. NOT EVEN JUST THOSE! BUT, THEN THERE'S THE HEART, kidneys, liver, brain.... all working perfectly in sync, the of course you have to bring the human form together & give it life. NOT POSSIBLE IN A SLIMEY POND!
@@ohwhatelse OMG, an evolution denier! You must be a Republican and probably a climate change denier as well. Anyway, do yourself a favor by going to a library or bookstore and getting your hands on a good book that explains natural selection and its role in evolution. My suggestion: "The Blind Watchmaker" by Richard Dawkins. Evolution is a fact, and simplistic arguments like the ones you make won't change that. By the way, most of the major world religions accept evolution.
Bigfoot ,duh
@@ohwhatelse that didn't make sense. Both, because of the content of what you said. And, the overuse of all caps.
Overuse if ALL CAPS is a well known sign of someone arguing against well accepted truths. 😁👍
@@ohwhatelse Actually son, the evolution of the eye is very well understood and is easily followed in the fossil record if you care to look. The earliest eyes were quite basic. Little trilobite type creatures just had two little pits on their head with a light sensitive cell at the bottom of each. There was no lens, retina or cornea. But from such simple beginnings evolved our visual organs. Interestingly the ocular fluid of our eye today has the same salinity as the ancient seas from whence it evolved.
Where I love videos of cars, now I find the subject of human origins so interesting! I really appreciate the various ways and methods used to get detail facts. I mean like bone angle, thickness and marks where tendons joined is a real science. My friend said "what's gotten into you? Your new interest is man origins, what about cars? I said, well MAN is the one who made cars"⚠️
Great documentary. I love it!
Sea meet the land, day followed by night , beautiful animals in which human get so many benefits out of them such as food, milk and clothes and others. A bee that produce honey that acts as food and medicine for mankind. Trees that you get your fruit and vegetables from. A perfect life cycle. A human body that is very complex and very intelligent that has Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System, Endocrine System, Cardiovascular System, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Digestive System, Urinary System, and Reproductive System.... and then you want me to believe in the evolution theory?
Everything around you indicates to the oneness of the Creator, but most of people are living in headlessness and most of them are following their desires.

What would happen if Staphylococcus aureus evolved into a cockroach?
First you need to have legs, and you'll need to have good hair on them so that you can crawl anywhere. It should have eyes, it should have a mouth, it should have wings, and it should have antennas. Not only that, but the internal organs and the brain underneath the nerve cells that can coordinate the senses will have to emerge. Of course, there are many, many more complex things that need to be located, but that's it.
For the things described above to occur, the amino acids would have to be arranged to build the organs and the genetic information would have to be stored through DNA. But have humans ever observed any new generation of genetic information even once?
No cases of increased genetic information have been observed.
The famous atheist and evolutionist Richard Dawkins, shown in the video below, admits that the complexity of life, or the increase in genetic information, is the biggest mystery in life history, and that no single organism is created by chance, but believes that evolution is possible with the accumulation of very little luck. claim . However, he answers the creationist's question with 10 seconds of silence, asking for only one instance of little luck, one increase in genetic information. And when the video was released a year later, I hurriedly write a long article.
Of course, there is no case of an increase in genetic information in his long article, which he wrote a year later. I can't give This is because there have been no cases of increased genetic information observed in humans.
“Studying all aspects of mutations at the molecular level shows that mutations only reduce genetic information, not increase it. ..neo-Darwinian theory should explain how information about life is accumulated by evolution. The essential biological difference between humans and bacteria is the information they possess. All other biological differences arise as a result of differences in information. The human genome contains far more information than the bacterial genome. Mutations cannot accumulate information because mutations cause information to be lost... Not a single mutation has been found that adds even the slightest bit of information to the genome. It also clearly shows that the millions and millions of mutations do not occur as the neo-Darwinian theory requires. Perhaps the kind of mutation they require will never happen. The fact that no such information-enhancing mutations were observed means more than just failed their theory. This is evidence that refutes their theory. This is where we seriously challenge the new Darwinian theory. ” 4
- Lee Spetner (Physicist / Ph.D. at MIT, Professor at Johns Hopkins, Harvard University)
“Mutations only cause changes in information that already exists. There is no such thing as an increase in information, but rather, it usually has only harmful consequences . There can never be such a thing as a blueprint for a new function or a new institution. Mutations cannot be a source of new information.” 5
- Werner Gitt (Director of the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology)
Rather, science constantly observes a decline in genetic information . In other words, the mutations that evolutionists put forward as evidence of evolution were to decrease information, not increase it. This is evidence of degeneration, not evolution.
You just did, and well.
Yes nowdays they say just humans evil, when of course some humans can be really violent and evil, but its good that civilization started at least in some point in earth, that earth would not go on to die out without any civilization starting even.
Christi Shields and our ancestors were humans and nothing else, not primates. And no we’re not primates.
All of you who believe this nonsense cannot even explain human language or love which was given (not evolve) from an intelligent Creator and designer YESHUA!

So interesting, so much I didn't know.
Anyone else notice that the ones who found the bones weren't at the press conference. And the ones who were took all the credit.
the sad story of the western arrogance. Like Hollywood
The people who found the bones, don’t have the education to say anything about the bones, nor the tools to examinations. People who studied geology are not always the founders but to find stuff you don’t need education. Hope that answers the question. Of course founders should be rewarded but who will do the big part of the work and the difficult and important part? The geologists.

Great comment. I think that creature was able to walk upright, but evolved a larger brain than the great apes & kept evolving into Lucy & into Neanderthals that learned how to create tools & beyond.

Seeing that contraption run and do a running front tuck frightens me
Looking at my foot, I understand immediately that such a contraption takes time to develop from, I suppose, something like a normal paw. Probably our foot gave us possibilities to survive during periods of extreme weather, i.e. periods of drought. I once visited a flood estuary with mangrove trees in west Africa and was surprised of the enormous amount of easily caught food in the form of crabs, fish, mussels and a variety of crustaceans. I became convinced if an ape learned to live here, he would have good chances to survive the severest of times, provided he could stand still and steady on his feet.
Don't some species of monkeys live in those areas? Too bad they're not tall enough to reach in it tho

I'm not getting how we could have survived in the trees with no brains to combat these nasty predatory animals of 6M years ago. we had absolutely NO defense against them! I mean we're 4M years away from developing things like spears, I don't get it.
And after 6 million years, we still haven't evolved to the point where we can walk upright without the accompanying back pain.

Thanks for this video. In the 1970s, I took several elective classes in human evolution and anthropology. At the time, the conventional wisdom asserted that upright posture and bipedalism arose out of necessity when apes moved out of the trees into the savanna. I disputed that paradigm, and wrote a thesis arguing that upright posture and bipedalism probably developed in the trees, using gibbon locomotion and anatomy as my examples. Needless to say, I was thrilled to hear others have reached the same assumption.
But you did not get recognition. Too bad.
@@lawneymalbrough4309 Thanks. My professor congratulated me on an interesting idea, but I never expected any recognition beyond that. It never even occurred to me to try and publish the paper.
@@mseeling7647 Congratulation on a good idea. But as you know, science require more then just a clever hypothesis. It need proven evidence. And that is a problem in this case. You need at last do a research to bio-mechanics of gibbon , orangutans and comparison the analysis of their anatomical features to they way of movement in nature. Even the theory in this video doesn't say how deep are this scientist papers on this problem. But still we can't prove this by 100 %, because we can't prove it experimentally. We will need travel back in time and recorded the process of the evolution of bipedal-ism. That something can develop this way doesn't mean that it really happen this way. But your experience show another important feature of our current civilization problem - the "authority" effect. Your professor congratulated you on the thesis and that was all. Himself didn't want to challenge the common theory, so you follow his example and do not consider your idea important. This how our schooling system for centuries in all countries is distorting the independent and creative thinking. A number of people did an important discoveries, because they were not a formally educate in their branch of science, where they made discovery. For example Schliemann who discover the city of Troy.

Also makes sense we learned to walk in the trees as it would also have freed up our hands for other purposes within those trees. monkeys you often see holding with their feet or sitting whilst doing other more intricate tasks with their fingers.

Best science fiction story ever concocted.
Gradual change over time is a fact! I'll tell you what's fantasy: the Bible. Talking snakes, a global flood, Adam living to 930 years of age and Mr. Zombie man (Jesus). 🤣🤣
"Best science fiction story ever concocted."
Im guessing science wasnt your best topic in school
There's heaps of evidence around the world of a universal flood. Mass erosion events everywhere and land upheavals. Also isn't it strange that cultures around the world have flood stories.
@Heaven- the completely fake madeup fairytale place you've seen it have you? Has it been observed? No so then it's just a theory isn't it.
@@rexxx777 "There's heaps of evidence around the world of a universal flood"
Theres evidences of many local floods. There is *zero* evidence of a universal, global flood that happened at 1 time
"Also isn't it strange that cultures around the world have flood stories."
No? Why would it be? Humans rely on fresh water for survival. Many fresh water sources are highly influenced by nature, and flood.
Was that's amazing documentary
Excellent documentary, for me. Top drawer! Thank you ever so much.
A million years from now they will study us and say "when did they start using computers".
@TheRageMaker A million years from now What would be mans Posture ?
No. They will know exactly when bc everything is documented "in the cloud"
When did the first man nut

13:44 that’s very interesting 😎
Human origins is so fascinating. Great video.
Why do so many modern documentaries have irrelevant, loud so-called music? It almost ruins one’s appreciation of the documentary.
Very annoying
Too much hype for me. Oh My God we have found an early ancestor. Our find is the most important ever. No. Hype and self-advancement.

you are right i wish i was 20 years younger back to my 18, those past 20 years went by very fast i hate ageing
Excellent video! I learned so many new things, my mind was blown over the connection they saw in the bone groove left by the muscle on the leg/pelvis. Great lesson in close observation and critical thinking for myself and my students.
Here's a really great lecture by Dr. Jerry Coyne, "Why Evolution is True (But Not Many People Believe It)". He is simply brilliant.

Sorry. But the same claims were made about Africans and the White Man. Their bone structure, muscles, tendons.etc. Fact is we are All Humans! Scientist are Smart, but Beware.
You really can't have a great documentary without showing some people walking up and down some stairs.
The native discovered is not mentioned with his complete name and surname but the film quickly mentioned the complete name and the surname of the cientifics and that in a very short time they arrived and make findings BY THEIR OWN. I would like the intervention of the native discover will remain in history for ever. I know that being the first is so important but please give to that person the place in history he deserve.
I noticed too!
As a Christian who grew up being taught the creation story, this video is causing me an existential crisis
Great to see you are opening up to the facts!
I wouldn't go that far. The odds of a single atom being made in even the most ideal conditions are practically impossible. Evolution has too many gaps that are conveniently overlooked in order to make sense; hence why the theory of evolution is just that, a theory.
@@jordanrobinson9379 Jordan, just because you don’t understand evolution, does not mean that it isn’t true. I recommend you read some introductory books on evolution because based on your comment, you’re not too sure how it works. Plus, a “theory” in science can colloquially be called a fact. A scientific theory is an idea that is backed up by overwhelming evidence, intensely peer reviewed, and proved in all facets.
I'll help lend a machete to your intellectual thicket..
Those bones were NOT found at the same location. In fact they were miles apart.. The local Kenyan who had found a jaw fragment "that appeared to be early hominid", reported his finding. Then of course Europeans were sent to investigate but found NOTHING at the site of the discovery.
Those other bones were each found miles apart and at different depths. Those facts are conveniently left out.
Also facts are that this "discovery" has been widely disputed even among anthropologists and argued that it's merely a collection of extinct ape bones scattered miles apart. Now, had the Kenyan discovered a nearly intact, nearly complete skeleton with a skull.....which has NEVER been discovered btw. It's a difderent story then.
Large collections of what could be early hominids bones have been discovered together in one place. But the bones were fragmented as if dashed to peices.
@@lilmike2710 Mike, how I pity you. I’m sure that Mike, angry internet commenter, has more knowledge of evolution than millions of scientists who have studied it for a century and a half. I don’t care what blog post you read. Evolution is effectively an established fact and I’m not going to argue you about it if you cannot wrap your head around it - probably thanks to some pathetic religious bias or otherwise. Have some maturity, find something to do, and learn that putting capitalised words in your sentences doesn’t make you an intellectual.
Super cool. I loved seeing the part about the generations and the branching. I’ve seen diagrams on this but really mapping it out and explaining was very eye-opening. This is an incredible documentary
Dumb people learned from dumb scientist
However, that branching diagram was missing the parts where some of the branches fuse together as close enough species came back in contact and reproduced with each other (like happened between us and Neanderthals a couple of times). It's more like a web and less like a tree.
Idk if this has been said, but within one min he says, “we evolved from apes”. We are apes.
A friend of mine his nickname is mape half man half ape, I think he might be the missing link lol
This research into this fascinating discovery is just so exciting and leads to who knows how many other correlated lines of thought. I can well understand as a layperson why paleontologists are so excited. I just cannot understand why so many people in this world find science and history as boring. So many fields of study and areas of research all come to together to give us glimpses of humanity here. Cheers from Canada.
Looks like the first human was Clint Eastwood as I click on this video...
Came to comment/upvote this
You are wrong. It was Obama's great-great-grandfather.
Exactly!!! lmao
Kaalen, ... LOL. You too? Same here. The picture look like Clint Eastwood to me as well.
I honestly thought it was Donald Trump
I do have two points of contention with the conclusion that these are the most likely direct ancestors of humans. It could be convergent evolution or this could be an offshoot of the group that we actually originated from. Just walking upright and human-like molars is intriguing and a possibility but not settled just the best we have right now.
Added the robotics section was kind of silly otherwise I would expect a lot of mammals to be bipedal. My personal idea and it is just an idea, is that tool use led to bipedalism. Having your hands-free would obviously greatly facilitate this. The issue would be if these early hominids used tools extensively so far back.
Watching this makes me want to go play that game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.
This looks fascinating I have been really back into documentaries again
God created human. People need to stop this nonsense nobody evolved from apes no apes today are evolving into humans where did the first apple and orange seed come from? It didn't just pop out the sky God created the seeds
I respect the integrity of the scientists in this field. The graphics of this video are amazing, the line of ancestors stretching back in time for instance. I also love the details and explanations of the evidence.
I don't
There is much validity in other theories... th-cam.com/video/-qDrDg6P0Ro/w-d-xo.html
Jason Hurley very educational and inspiring
@Ant Parker Sorry I don't understand what you are saying. You speak/write like a 3rd grader.
@Ant Parker You clearly don't understand the time scale that evolution works on. You won't see evolution in just a small number of generations. It takes thousands of generations to produce observable changes, and immense amounts of time in the case of more complex organisms. As a species, we haven't been recording history nearly long enough for us to have had the time to experience and document evolutionary changes from a first hand perspective. That's why we utilize paleontology to gather data from a wide range of generations of any given lineage to be able to pinpoint and confirm evolutionary changes which take place over a large period of time, in a way that ultimately allows us to find when a change of species occurs. The fossil record isn't lying, you're just ignorant. Read an accredited book on the Theory of Evolution before you start spouting off this kind of drivel; then maybe you won't sound so foolish.
Existential crises promote the search for complete truths, which always foment strains of understanding that commonly first seem like bewilderment. But hang on to those promises of truth - which is what each often unnerving source of deeper meanings will ultimately reveal. There is no end of wonder in these investigations. Be glad you have access to this. It’s a great gift.

Watched all of it again, to relearn and review video before forwarding 48:32
Marvellous documentary! So simple to understand, yet so profound!
Imagine bipedal small humanoids running around in the bushes with probably the attentionspan of a human!! So cool!
Ha!! that made me laugh :)
I recently found footprints that look either human or ape like in the shale creek bed that I researched that I believed was made during the Devonian period, if they are that means they would have been made at least 300 million years ago, and they were walking

Have to agree completely
Very interesting. It's great to see a 'post-Lucy' update on the state of current knowledge in the field. Thank you!
Lorica Lass sorry but you dont understand evolution
@Squirrel nobody does
@Squirrel no I'm not, am in Birmingham
@Squirrel no not a pun, I thought we were commenting on these early human or not finds from 6 million years ago
but I am a fan of The Who they are ace this whole album My Generation it's great
This is one of the best documentaries of its kind that I've seen in a long time. Very nice work. Bravo, bravo.

This is so cool but the animation is absolutely terrifying omg
My theory of Bipedalism reason is for the animal or early human to extend its height and see through trees or bushes. Same reason apes or bears sometimes choose this posture momentarily.
Dont say we evolved from the apes, instead say we have a common ancestor . You're confusing the creationist and they will say something stupid like " Why are there still apes?"
Why use the word who ? Evolutonn is easy to understand . Four year olds can comprehend it . If you dont get it , try harder .
Why does it have to be who? Just because that is what you were taught .
Belief based on assumption . How about belef based on science . You evidently believe in magic ..
Biology , geology , anthropology . Life is different now than it was millions of years ago through a process called natural selection . These fields dont assume anything . They are very critical ,
you're right, that's exactly what they say.
Cool
Interesting stuff. It would be more instructional to show the bones and CT scans of modern apes to contrast the indications of bipedalism. Also, it's misleading to imply that this one bone set (sitting in a 2 million year window) is a direct ancestor given the MANY diverting branches this animal could have ultimately come from - they KNOW this but imply it nonetheless (TV "Hook"?)
Well said. As I’ve said before this is supposition not real evidence
Love the line-up of hominin generations. Definitely aids in visualizing the immense age. AND the extreme rarity of these fossils is amazing. A couple hominin fossils per million years until we get to about 3mya - and then a little bit more frequent. Not much.
worst animations ever,deliberately creepy

This enrages me the local guy found the items not the scientist who is trying to take credit! Make the digger famous!
You mean the archaeologist right?
Also, by the way. Without the scientists expertise and their ability to date the bone, there would be now way to even know whether or not the discovery deserves praise.
Maybe the local guy doesn't want all the attention......
Trueeee
Maybe he does not want to be famous.
FABULOUS
All this - especially in the beginning of the video, where miles and miles of generations are illustrated to help the viewer develop a mental "picture" of how long ago we're talking about here - is truly mind boggling.
it's totally fake, it is just something artificial they made up. do you really believe everything others artificially put into a fake illustration? you've been duped.
There is no way to really
There is no way to truely comprehend that kind of time scale. It is obvious that it is really beyond belief.

yea and as fake and unprovable as the moon mission. its amazing people just blindly believe these lies.

if it walked bipedaly.

Yes, I sadly Fast Forward a minute every time the background music becomes so loud and obnoxious, and so I ended up missing at least half of this. It's almost as if someone put a spooky Halloween drumbeat recording on alongside this documentary! This will lose many viewers who are sensitive to sounds, just like flickering and flashing video can do the same to those with visual sensitivities (often, we are the same people). And it's not just a complaint: it is a neurological condition that makes listening and viewing some content literally painful and producing real neurological symptoms, ironically a condition perhaps inherited and passed on down from these earlier primate cousins! - j q t -
