As a librarian, it drives me nuts that the books behind the gentleman in the British Museum are all over the place. But, I love this show so much, I can excuse it. Hahahaha!!
What amazes me the most is that these dedicated folks are rubbing shoulders with the North Sea on the east coast of Britain in short sleeves! Fascinating! thank you all!
About 900,000 years ago, during the Middle Pleistocene epoch, several species of early humans (hominins) and pre-human ancestors were alive. The most notable include: 1. Homo heidelbergensis • Considered a direct ancestor of both Homo sapiens (modern humans) and Neanderthals. • Lived in Africa, Europe, and possibly parts of Asia. • Characteristics: • Larger brain (~1,200-1,300 cc) than earlier species. • Robust build, adapted to diverse climates. • Evidence of tool use and possibly hunting in groups. 2. Homo erectus • One of the longest-lived human species, existing for nearly 2 million years. • Found in Asia and parts of Africa during this period. • Characteristics: • Upright posture, modern human-like body proportions. • Brain size ~900-1,100 cc. • Associated with advanced stone tools and controlled use of fire. 3. Early Homo sapiens (Archaic Humans) • Transitional forms between Homo heidelbergensis and modern humans were emerging around this time in Africa. • They show a mix of primitive and advanced traits. 4. Homo naledi (Possibly) • Discovered in South Africa, dating overlaps with this time, though exact timelines are debated. • Displayed a mix of primitive and modern features, suggesting diversity among early human species. Key Developments Around This Time • Cultural advancements: Evidence of fire control, hunting, and cooperative behaviors. • Climate adaptation: Hominins lived during fluctuating ice age conditions, which drove innovation and migration. Summary The main pre-human species alive 900,000 years ago were Homo heidelbergensis and Homo erectus, with early Homo sapiens beginning to emerge in Africa. These species played crucial roles in the evolutionary path leading to modern humans.
If you really wanna study this, look to the citizens who are already on the ball. Not just in this country of the United States, but in the UK, Germany, Australia, everywhere people are waking up and learning that there’s stone art that shows the culture of these people. It takes several weeks to learn.
Well, this is a roundup or overview of discoveries and work (some interrupted by lockdown) from the last 5 years or so, each of which gives some significant new information about what each wave of people who arrived on Britain got up to. So the theme really is, “What’s been done recently on how the island was peopled.” The “Beaker” people are substantially the ones who made a go of it, who Brits of today are in general descended from.
In addition to use of fire and clothing they would need shelter to survive. I wonder what they called home? Presumably nomadic, following migrating prey, they would likely use a portable tent like structure? Similar to a teepee maybe?
could the cow skulls with horns be used as wall ties and why can't the figurines be children's toys why is it always religion and some search for meaning, I think the diggers are projecting their own need for meaning onto the ancestors.
@PortmanRd human organised spirituality is what religion is. So until there is actual evidence of God bothering let's have a bit more Occam's razor from the scientists
@sbjchef I'm not a religious person, but I bet my bottom dollar that religion started because when neolithic man saw things like the Northern lights, lightning, meteor showers, etc, he wouldn't have had the comprehension to understand that they were natural happenings, and not other worldly. Thus you had the advent of gods.
@@PortmanRd when discovered, spirituality like all things would have been shared and accepted by the group, religion could have easily started as a weak individual claiming secret knowledge to gain social advantage and protection (today's religions). Or my favourite somebody ate the wrong mushrooms and when they came down they shared their visions. Ascribing extrinsic meaning to normal event would logically happen after spiritual awakening.

It was probably recorded a couple of months back.

great finds
with a lot of imagination you can see a deer there
Was Flint Dibble consulted prior to publishing this video? He is the only authority we should recognize as truth.
What about Phil Harding? He knows how to knap
Who? Why?
You are in the wrong place mate. Go back to Joe Rogans comment sections or keep your idiocy to yourself.
Why Dibble? He specialises in Ancient Greece.
Let me guess, you seen him on Rogan and like his clear speaking style.
So Neolithic? Neanderthals? In the US University it is separated now into ethno or genetic archaeology now... interesting..love it..
I get the need to separate the expertise, but if possible they should always go hand in hand, hard to get the full picture otherwise.
Surely that depends on the type of finds.

Fascinating 😮
Amazing, was using it to fall asleep, but just too fascinating, though I did get distracted from time to time by Alice's beauty, my fault not hers 😅
Possibly made by Piltdown man 😂
maybe
Does anyone know the name of the violin piece that starts playing at 21:20 ?
Early crew ! ❤🎉🎉

Spiritual...not religious.

@sbjchef Pretty much.
Nick Ashton... like Mike Ashton ? Not related, it seems...
Or Jay Ashton!
