Actually I believe the 500 pound bench which is 2.7 times the Neanderthal's bodyweight might be an exaggeration or an inaccurate estimate I believe a 2 bodyweight bench is a more reasonable estimate when looking at other primates like chimps
I saw a paper that argued Neanderthals basically couldn't throw or use projectile weapons very well, due to the sturdy structure of their shoulders and arms. They had to approach prey and kill it up close, which explains why so many fossils feature injuries from animals. It also might help explain how humans who could throw spears or use bows eventually out-competed or replaced them.
I think the abundance of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans relative to the distance of time suggests they were assimilated more than anything. Neanderthals always struggled with numbers and humans were new to the dangerous lands the Neanderthals lived in so cooperation would have been mutually beneficial. Humans have access to ranged weapons but we were less physically powerful so traveling with Neanderthals to hunt could have increased survival rates and success. When they saw their offspring were viable and well suited from both our adaptations they also would have had more incentive to assimilate.
@@AncientWildTV probably planning skills and endurance. I'm guessing that would make them the administrators and haulers of the packs. Truly a new race of NCOs lol
@@MisterPeckingOrderthat is a nice thought. But the unfortunate more likely scenario, is that we are all descended from pillage and rape babies. Much like the same way many people are related to genghis khan.
I worked with a guy who genuinely looked like a Neanderthal - slightly shorter, stocky. One day i was sitting reading something like nat geo magazine, when I spotted a full page picture of a Neanderthal with the caption along the line of 'you could sit next to a Neanderthal without actually noticing much difference.' I looked over the top of the nat geo, and it my colleague was in profile, just like the picture, and the similarity was stunning.
It reminds me of Dr. Richard Neave (one of the western pioneers of archaeological maxilio-facial reconstruction) who had just finished a re-construction of the face of the remains of a girl found in a peat bog in Yde, The Netherlands. And was sitting on a train when he glanced up and saw a girl sitting opposite him that looked identical to the reconstruction he'd done.
Anthropologist here. Remember that humans living at the same time as the Neanderthals were almost as strong as they were. Neanderthals are thought to have required about 5000 kcal/day and humans back then around 3600-4200. So, we weren't quite as robust as they were, but pretty close. That robusticity was lost in humans from 45kya to 13kya.
Not an expert here. Sources from certified dietitians though. I heard that running the whole day vs walking sometimes or sleeping the whole say is still 2K-3000 calories bc calories r lost due to body stress inside not outside as much. So, they likely went extinct to hunger in the ice age.
Interesting: my late husband, had a very large barrel chest, it was hard as a rock. Huge air capacity. His arms were quite long, but he had Popeye arms. Large stocking hams, his wrists were as big as his forearms, his biceps were no joke, but not as large as forearms. A powerful punch. Short legs, but I’m only stood 6 foot when the average his family is 6‘4” for men. Cold did not seem to bother him so much until it reach below freezing.
Your husband obviously had recessive Neanderthal traits, or his father wasn't his father, and his mother was impregnated by another other than the father to his 1/2 brother. Other than that, I would say you husband was q bull of a man, like a miniature bulldozer.
@@k9m42 Caucasian? Dude, no. Caucasian as you say, is a characteristic from modern homo sapiens. Clear(white) skinned? Yeah, sure, but speak in property, try to not mix things.
I know actual big boned people. It's certain groups that parasited the word, like they parasite many other words and ruined it for the people it actually fit to.
The fact that Neanderthals in a daily basis fought wild prehistoric animals and still survived and some fully healed is terrifying to think about in modern times. Imagine someone built like a Neanderthal in modern fighting sports
Not to mention those animals were ancient variants. The Auroch, or ancient ox, was 4x the size of a modern cow. So these neanderthals were in boxing matches with wild beasts the size of an SUV. Then you have giant lions, and who knows what else.
@@michaeljames6817 I mean, there's still people around that have a good chunk of Neanderthal DNA them, specially noticeable when you look at their bone structure and they have a barreled chest
have you not seen Brock lesnar? i dont believe we are all from the same monkey bs , its more for social construct , we had many Hominid groups 4-5 and that would definitely explain why a Chinese person skeleton and a African skeleton are very diff and you call tell just by looking at the bones,
Neanderthals are shorter than modern humans but taller than humans from the same time period. Perhaps if they hadn't died out and lived until the present with access to better food they would have gotten taller to.
He actually got that bit wrong, before the neolithic ancient humans had the same average height as us today. The diets of hunter-gatherers hit all the nutrition marks needed for proper growth, it's more likely that if neanderthals had become farmers like us then you would've seen their average height drop to dwarflike levels.
oh, so prehistoric humans who existed for millions of years and lived in symbiotic relationship with nature had bad diet. sure. of course, makes perfect sense. i'm sure modern nutrition which is about 20 years old would've been much better for them. judging from the growth of the pharma industry this is exactly what neanderthals needed.
It makes a lot more sense to me that animals were more afraid of Neanderthals and began to fear us by proxy/ not being able to tell the difference. A fear that probably persists today as humans became more dangerous
"They would need 4700-6300 calories per day" and there's the kicker. The machine needs fuel. Modern humans are not the bigger machine, but we are much more efficient.
I’ve heard that a big difference is the Atlatl. Because they were so much stronger, they never needed this invention and they just used spears, where humans (despite not necessarily even being smarter) used this new invention to double the power of their spears. Not sure if this is true, but it would be very interesting if so
@@Calebantonthat’s what I’ve heard. They were also probably shitty throwers we have massive shoulders which stand at the top of our torso while their collarbone did
@@WORTH-IT-MAN Yeah, looking it up, this seems to be the case, although their fall is multifaceted and probably more so to do with weird population dynamics and stuff
@@Calebanton That's interesting. Can you link where you'd read this? As my understanding is that Neanderthals died out 10,000+ years before/from when the first records of atlatl or any mechanical throwing assistance type device was dated(iirc there's some weird chipped rock theory where they found shaped/napped rocks and some guy was like "its for a trebuchet lever!" but the guy propagating that also believes cavemen were building primitive trebuchet using counterweight which .. lol, no, don't even entertain the idea)
Evropeans descend from Neanderthal, they had biggest skulls and brain matter, Evropeans also have biggest brains. They were very smart and would bury relatives too, they created the bear cult too. th-cam.com/video/FO1CwnIsC00/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wjytH2xfULZsAkaZ
I find it wild that the Dwarf from the average fantasy story is nearly the spitting image of Neanderthals. Shorter than modern humans, stockier, built for strength and sturdiness; living in colder areas and taking shelter in caves, Uses melee weaponry. Wild.
So 70% of 6,000 calories is about 4,000 calories of meat per day. If my math is right that is like 4lbs of beef every day for an adult. Wow! No wonder that hunted a lot of big game.
Fats are included in it. So likely 2 pounds of meat and fat. But once the ice age ended, animals became smaller and faster. Harder to nearly impossible to catch. Humans invented slings and traps but you just couldn't get enough to sustain off of it. Famine was common and Neanderthals just weren't built to go through periods of famine every year
@leandrou100 they went extinct because we killed them. we war with each other, do you think we are going to have a completely different humanoid living next to us
Been studying human physiology and health for years now so this is fascinating comparing and contrasting the differences in anatomy between one of our closest relatives !
@@jegsdinogod5091 they were genetically distinct but both in genus Homo making us relatives. Homo sapiens are closely related to Neanderthals. And they were , in part, our ancestors as well
@@evangeloevoxi Yes, because DNA mutates over time, so human beings in different geographic locations will develop strings of mutations that other humans do not have, especially if they have different environmental factors affecting their adaptations to the environment. If you can still have children with someone, they are still the same species, regardless of archeologists or whatever labeling them as something else just because they have different physiology. The best definition for species is the best one: if they can breed and create viable offspring, then they are the same species.
Neanderthals were absolute powerhouses of the ancient world, and the more we learn, the more they seem like a lost superhuman species. It’s incredible to think they were built for bursts of speed and strength, with their compact, robust bodies allowing them to wrestle mammoths and survive brutal injuries that would incapacitate most modern humans. And that lung capacity-9 liters of air! These guys were literally built to endure and thrive in harsh, cold environments. Their massive brains and sensory adaptations, like enhanced vision and smell, make them fascinating. It’s like they were custom-designed for survival, and yet, they’re gone. Unbelievable!
Literally fucked out of existence. When 3 percent ancestry is the most common percentage, it suggests that absorbeing Neanderthal families into human tribes only worked for a few generations, after which too many of their distinct traits bred out.
A lot of people are percentage Neanderthal DNA... that's why when you see someone go full Rtard.... they become super human, it's the neanderthal DNA activating.
Honestly, I believe A LOT of ADHD cases (particularly in men) are misdiagnoses, with higher than average testosterone levels being the true culprit behind the excessive energy and need to be on the move (Hunter/Gatherer genes still showing high activity in these individuals)
The funny thing is Joe has mentioned that he knows from tests that his DNA contains more Neanderthal genes than the average person. Which is so fitting for him :)
Asian elephants are genetically closer to wooly mammoths than African elephants. Baby Asian elephants are even frequently born with "hair". They are 99.6% the same as the wooly mammoth! Fun facts.
The thing with the muscle fibers is that was probably an adaptation to their hunting style rather than the cause of their hunting style, endurance hunting (chase until it falls over from exhaustion) is fairly draining and heat producing, as humans we and the Neanderthals sweat to help us shed heat but in cold environments being all sweaty will get you killed.
No such thing as endurance hunting in humans. Literally 0 evidence that humans ever hunted through exhausting their prey. Today some people choose to hunt like this for fun, with the help of modern nutrition and amenities like water bottles supplied by support crews following them in jeeps, but even then their success rate is extremely low and their return on investment from a caloric view is low as well. The whole "persistence hunter" myth was invented by some running fanatics who wanted it to be true, but had no real evidence to support their claims. All evidence points to humans always being ambush predators.
@@mikehawk6918idk i heard some native Americans would do that to horses but they would have multiple people hundreds of feet away to pass the torch when one guy got tired chasing the horse
@@mikehawk6918 There are tribes that literally still doing endurance hunting to this day. "Endurance hunting is a myth invented by Big Runner" is something I wasn't expecting to hear 🤣
@@mikehawk6918 I've seen videos of other animals engaging in "endurance hunting" by chasing prey around until it gets tired and then pouncing on them. Doesn't take much to tire out an animal that weighs thousands of pounds and is running scared.
6:07 Dude, that means they were probably taking care of each other just like we do. That’s the wildest thing to think about for me, they were *people*.
not even the only people besides us humans either, just the most notable and best documented. kind of wild to think how different Earth would be if nature had dealt them even just a slightly better hand
All the humans that became civilized and modern on their own have some Neanderthal DNA in them. It would be a good guess imo that the original sapiens were the more more "uncivilized" ones, just more successful evolutionarily to displace the Neanderthals eventually
The last Neanderthals lived in Gibraltar, a British territory on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, which is why many with European ancestry, specifically from the United Kingdom, have larger traces of Neanderthal DNA in their genes. Fossil remains discovered in these layers suggest that Gibraltar's Neanderthals occupied the cave on and off for more than 100,000 years. Neanderthals may have clung on in the region until as recently as 24 to 33,000 years ago, according to the dating of one of the layers in Gorham's cave.
Could you imagine getting the opportunity to talk to one of these guys?! Imagine shaking his hand and hearing him breath. Or asking him whta he did yesterday and how things are going for him and his family. Or maybe ask him about religious beliefs or bartering systems. Wow this video really has sparked an interest for me Thankyou for this. Its a very well put together video i appreciate all the work you put into this. Now if youll excuse me i have a rabbit hole im late for
to see the life that ancient humans lived for just one day is my only wish. How incredible it must've been to live on earth when all you had was your tribe and an unseen, innate will to hunt for meat and huddle around fires in the cold, dark nights of ancient earth.
It would be so fucking cool to talk to/interact with a Neanderthal. Imagine there being multiple different species of humans walking around society today. RIP Neanderthals, yall were cool as fuck.
One of my favorite animated shows is Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal. While it’s not scientifically accurate in the least, it showing the strength and capacity of what a Neanderthal would possibly be able to do if it were alive around the same time as dinosaurs and modern humans was really cool to see. Peak fiction show! Would recommend checking out if you haven’t.
I love that anachronistic pulpy prehistoric fantasy world. Everyone knows at this point that humans and dinosaurs (discounting birds) never coexisted, but the question of "what if they did" is so fun. I want to run a D&D campaign some day that captures the same vibe as Primal.
So, for reference, 4500 calories is around the caloric intake requirement for soldiers in heavy fighting in artic conditions. They have specialized MREs for that.
16:00 some studies have shown that Neanderthals suffered with autoimmune issues such as rheumatoid arthritis . So maybe some populations inherited certain variants from them increasing their risk slightly but that’s still being studied
and cardiovascular issues, as well. a correlation between heart disease, atherosclerosis, etc, has been made, and effects in relation to how much dna you share. it's interesting that h.s. populations migrating through east europe and south asia contacted Neans twice, and seems to explain east asians having twice as much dna as european h.s. we may never really know for sure.
These things can be explained by a human being's diet. IE: Human beings on a modern diet suffer from a lot of autoimmune issues and the issues magically go away if they switch to a carnivore/keto diet due to high carb intake being the cause of the autoimmune problems. Not everything is due to DNA. A lot of health problems are due to diet.
I absolutely love Neanderthals. Its so amazing to think that at one point we lived alongside another species of human. Ive used Neanderthals as a base for my own personal take on Orcs for a game Im writing and the more I learn the cooler they get
Mine are used for my dwarf stand-in race, and I make use of the fact that Neanderthal had larger skull cavities in the frontal cortex, which is used mostly for rational thought in humans. As such, they can come off as coldly logical and have some tradition issues, but they're better with handicrafts, like instrument use and creation, weapon making, and some advanced gearworks in places.
Well, technically speaking, we have many species in every race: Caucasians vary from Netherlands to southern Ural Russia just as from Finland to roughly "white" people of France and Spain. Negroids differ from Sudanic to Ethiopian just as from Algerian to "black" people of South Africa. Asians are quite different from Japanese(the most closed on itself group) to Malaysians just as Kazakh is distinctively differs from Korean. Interbreeds are different as well: "semitic" Arabs and Jews do not quite look as "Persian" heritage Iranian despite being quite close to each other up to few millennia ago. Damn, even Northern and Southern Koreans differ physically(mostly due to the former being underfed which leads to height and weight reduction)! So we were not like orcs and elves. We literally have their DNA parts in ours! Try to impregnate even modern chimp or orangutan with your semen - you'll fail(ECO, you filthy punk! "Naturally" you'll get wrecked over at the first try😂) They are nothing other than a different race built for harsh environment survival.
@@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606 i can totally see that. I love takes on dwarves that make them closer resemble how they were depicted within works like the poetic edda (or etta I dont remember) as scraggly little me that make good shit.
There is a famous French rugby player by the name of Sebastian Chabal. Seb Chabal is living proof (I think) that Neanderthals are not extinct. He was an absolute beast of a player and one of the most respected players on the international scene. Honestly, he looks like a Neanderthal…..with clothes. I say this with the deepest of respect.
We often associate calling someone a Neanderthal with meaning they are stupid, but I think we should reassociate it with pure, raw strength. Neanderthals weren't even stupid, they were probably as smart as humans.
We called him Cro Magnon, which is French for Homo Sapiens, so, we weren't exactly on the Neanderthal mark, but we collectively agreed he had some raw prehistoric human showing through.
Supposedly I have more newndethal markers than 98% of the population. All I got out of it was a fascination with fire and a protective nature over fruity pebbles
Almost all cultures have legends about 'The Elder Peoples' Dwarves,Elves,Giants,who usually lived in dense forests,or underground,in caves or tunnels mined into the earth. Historically,inbred populations often concentrate genetic traits like dwarfism and gigantism,and sometimes low birthrates,which,again historically have led to long-distance,usually stealthy raids to bolster the declining population. Our ancestors knew these people,and many of our oldest stories handed down from generation to generation are about them.
one thing you didnt mention: it could be outdated data by now but in my studies (archaeology) I learned that neanderthals were anatomically not as good at throwing as sapiens, due to their skeletal structure. this was suggested as a possible reason for their extinction, as sapiens were believed to be more efficient hunters
@@The_Savage_Wombatsapiens has bows 70,000 years ago and likely brought the technology with them to Europe. We probably used throwing spears before that. Neanderthals didn't hunt using ranged weapons, which is why they have higher incidences of traumatic injury.
Using a bow has very little to do with throwing; a Neanderthal would probably do pretty well with them if they were present. It would have been very interesting if they had survived past the development of agriculture and entered into the historical record in larger social groups; advantages for hunting aside, much pre-modern combat exhibited progression away from ranged weaponry and towards more lethal close combat in step with sociopolitical centralisation. That suggests some considerable advantages to the Neanderthals in many scenarios of agrarian warfare.
@@minutemansam3122 Bow and arrow dates to about 13,500 years ago in Europe, long after neanderthals were gone. There are no statistics of higher traumatic injury amongst neanderthals. It happened to so called modern humans just as often.
Let me send you down the worst rabbit hole on this topic possible. Stalin actually had a scientist try to impregnate women (mostly Polish) with male Chimps. I am going to stop here, but there are a few TH-cam Videos on it. Look them up and be very thankful it failed.
My high school graduation research paper (extended essay to all other IB kids) was on this exact topic - physical differences between Neanderthals and humans and how that may have affected their extinction. I love coming back to this topic and this video did contain some of my research points as well which felt amazing hahaha thanks for a great knowledge refresher
But part of them was passed on, in a way they are not extinct. Although only part of the human race bear that DNA marker (establishing that we do in fact have a dividing evolution, which we SHOULD be talking about).
@@tablescissors yeah buts that waaay to complicated because central asia was a free for all with multiple human subspecies. they recently found a possible 3rd one after finding one in 2010
Once they shared DNA with the Africans, the Africans outbred them and depleted 90% of the megafauna wherever they went, leading to the eventual extinction of pure blooded neanderthals.
dont think they went extinct i think they went extinct from interbreeding so they dont really went extinct but they just mixed up with us or intermingled or wtf its called
@supermaximglitchy1 I disagree. There is a cave where homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and one other species of human lived in a cave at the same time, and they obviously traded technically and taught each other hunting and foraging techniques. Did they war? Yes; did they trade? Yes; did they interbreed? Yes, obviously. They event thought to have killed them off was a change in the environment. They couldn't get enough calories compared to the homo sapiens, who could barely get enough, and we see that as, around the same time, we were in a genetic bottleneck
@@Umar-gw6fy I call it a war but it’s more of a migration from the Homo sapiens from Africa who decided to go to Europe. Conflict between the two groups would be inevitable and besides, the Neanderthals were somewhat dominating Europe before the invasion. The Sapiens also had certain advantages such as throwing their spears and their stamina was seemingly limitless compared to the Neanderthals. That would also explain the existence of their dna within some of us because after conflict there was peace and during that peace was love. Eventually due to cheer numbers the pure Neanderthals went extinct and later the crossbreeds would have their Neanderthal percentage very low to the point where we are now.
I would like to make a poll to change the name of this video. Nothing to major, i would propose " Neanderthals were Killer-Survivor specialist" or something around that range with your flair. From what I heard in the video after reading the name, Im sitting here waiting for what would be considered weird objectively. A third ear, maybe a shaped tooth could be called weird but i expected something that had biologically no use to them. Like our smaller tailbone and shorter jaws which causes complication swith our molar teeth. Unless there were some facts missed or insufficient resources to make a detailed analyzation of neanderthals to concluded more freakish traits. Everything in the video spoke on what made them built to live in there time. I found it hilarious being at the end of the video I found the title to be a whole antonym. Awesome video by the way keep up the good work.
Not true. But the first remnant of a Neanderthal was described in 1856, while the first Denisovan was described in 2010. We just know more about the Neanderthals then about the Denisovans at this point in time, because we had more time to study them. I'm sure we will see more findings and results for the Denisovans in the coming years.
Andreas is correct, however Denisovans are also more Asian sub-group with more DNA passed down through 2 separate breeding events on the Asian Continent. Groups in between Asia and Europe seem to have the highest percentage of both (all 3?) groups.
Asians and Caucasian have 5 to 15% Neanderthal when Nigroids have none, the Latin (Roman)race before race mixing are a close representation to N. Neanderthal had a bigger brain than cromanion ..my theory is cromanion were the Caucasian off the boat of Noah and Neanderthal were the Israelites..
There's a NASA expert who wrote a book in the late 1970's and says the Neanderthals were seeded from extraterrestrials (astronauts): "Astronauts from another planet in another solar system landed on Earth and mated with Neanderthal women. Thus, producing the Cro Magnon!". -Chatelain, Maurice. "Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space: A NASA Expert confirms Mankind's Extraterrestrial Origins". Dell Publishing Company, 1979
I read a hypothesis that stated the intervreeding with neanderthals helped homosapiens sapiens by making them a bit tougher and more suitable to survive colder weather. And of course them being ironically smarter.
actually some modern evidence says that we are smarter, even though they had larger brains, they also had larger bodies and eyes, meaning less of their brain was dedicated to higher function relative to ours
Dentists have told me that my teeth are super hard with abnormally deep roots. Also, my muscle density gives me far greater strength than my appearance. I have also been told that I have a thick skull, but that was my mother talking.
@@MtnGirll how are speculative evolution, cryptozoology and mythological/folkloric creatures “cHiLdIsH FaNtAsY”? They can be just as compelling and interesting as real life animals!
Creating a team of super soldiers by cloning dead Neanderthals would make a great premise for a book. I know it's mostly the same as an army of genetically enhanced super soldiers, but arguably, we're closer to achieving the former than the latter, which would impact the feel of the story.
With all the differences, they're still close enough for us to mate with, and the hybrid offspring were also able to reproduce. That's better than horse and donkeys. Pretty trippy to think about.
@@porkypile I know for sure that you are joke deaf. Seems like every day there are more and more weird people on yt who can't get the most basic things and leave their pointless comments everywhere. Wasn't a thing like even 5 years ago but ig new kids type first and think never.
Exactly what this is is that white people and Asian people discovered that they are descendants of Neanderthals so now they are trying to change what they actually are into these “unstoppable powerhouses” just to make themselves feel better I’m gonna stick to the actual facts that Neanderthals are stupid cave people

A few had successful rugby careers too
This made me laugh out loud hahaha
So for Neanderthals it would've actually been 100% true if they'd said, "I'm not overweight, I'm just big boned!"
And now we can say "I'm not overweight, I just have more neanderthal DNA than average."
@@delphicdescant It's true! According to 23&me I have more Neanderthal DNA than 97% of their members. But it's still under 3%.
@@realsatoshihashimoto I think my percentage is closer to 80, but that's still above 50 so I guess I'm more 'thally than normal.
I know actual big boned people. It's certain groups that parasited the word, like they parasite many other words and ruined it for the people it actually fit to.
@@Lurker_ZI’ll be 83 next week.
The fact that Neanderthals in a daily basis fought wild prehistoric animals and still survived and some fully healed is terrifying to think about in modern times. Imagine someone built like a Neanderthal in modern fighting sports
Not to mention those animals were ancient variants. The Auroch, or ancient ox, was 4x the size of a modern cow.
So these neanderthals were in boxing matches with wild beasts the size of an SUV.
Then you have giant lions, and who knows what else.
@@JimmyLeeJr i wouldn't want to be in a mma fight with an ancient tiger with at least 6 inches claws

@@michaeljames6817 I mean, there's still people around that have a good chunk of Neanderthal DNA them, specially noticeable when you look at their bone structure and they have a barreled chest
have you not seen Brock lesnar? i dont believe we are all from the same monkey bs , its more for social construct , we had many Hominid groups 4-5 and that would definitely explain why a Chinese person skeleton and a African skeleton are very diff and you call tell just by looking at the bones,
Neanderthals are shorter than modern humans but taller than humans from the same time period. Perhaps if they hadn't died out and lived until the present with access to better food they would have gotten taller to.
Google Nikolai Valuyev!
Yes, exactly why they need to compare them to us back then !
He actually got that bit wrong, before the neolithic ancient humans had the same average height as us today. The diets of hunter-gatherers hit all the nutrition marks needed for proper growth, it's more likely that if neanderthals had become farmers like us then you would've seen their average height drop to dwarflike levels.
oh, so prehistoric humans who existed for millions of years and lived in symbiotic relationship with nature had bad diet. sure. of course, makes perfect sense.
i'm sure modern nutrition which is about 20 years old would've been much better for them.
judging from the growth of the pharma industry this is exactly what neanderthals needed.
@@Threezi04 incorrect.
It makes a lot more sense to me that animals were more afraid of Neanderthals and began to fear us by proxy/ not being able to tell the difference. A fear that probably persists today as humans became more dangerous
I wonder if Neanderthals are the reason we have the "uncanny valley" fear. Seeing something that is almost human, but not, being scary
G@@spencergallucci5309 good speculation
"They would need 4700-6300 calories per day" and there's the kicker. The machine needs fuel. Modern humans are not the bigger machine, but we are much more efficient.
I’ve heard that a big difference is the Atlatl. Because they were so much stronger, they never needed this invention and they just used spears, where humans (despite not necessarily even being smarter) used this new invention to double the power of their spears. Not sure if this is true, but it would be very interesting if so
@@Calebantonthat’s what I’ve heard. They were also probably shitty throwers we have massive shoulders which stand at the top of our torso while their collarbone did
@@WORTH-IT-MAN Yeah, looking it up, this seems to be the case, although their fall is multifaceted and probably more so to do with weird population dynamics and stuff
Indigenous Australians used those too only they call it a Woomera.
@@Calebanton That's interesting. Can you link where you'd read this? As my understanding is that Neanderthals died out 10,000+ years before/from when the first records of atlatl or any mechanical throwing assistance type device was dated(iirc there's some weird chipped rock theory where they found shaped/napped rocks and some guy was like "its for a trebuchet lever!" but the guy propagating that also believes cavemen were building primitive trebuchet using counterweight which .. lol, no, don't even entertain the idea)
its crazy how they still depict them being primitive when we have found tools , language and complex social structures in their resting places.
Evropeans descend from Neanderthal, they had biggest skulls and brain matter, Evropeans also have biggest brains. They were very smart and would bury relatives too, they created the bear cult too. th-cam.com/video/FO1CwnIsC00/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wjytH2xfULZsAkaZ
We are technically smarter, but not by much. If they had our intelligence we wouldn't be the dominant species
Primitive is relative.
We were the savages all along
We're primitive anyway.With or without smartphone.

I find it wild that the Dwarf from the average fantasy story is nearly the spitting image of Neanderthals. Shorter than modern humans, stockier, built for strength and sturdiness; living in colder areas and taking shelter in caves, Uses melee weaponry. Wild.
This was my exact thought too!
yes, and dragons from old tales are probably the last dinosaurs
This depiction of dwarves is largely thanks to Tolkien.
The dwarves of Norse mythology were basically dark elves.
By modern humans he means europeans. Neanderthals were much bigger than your avg American or brown person/Asian.
@@I-HAVE-A-BOMB kinda? The difference of average height in N. America is only 1.5 cm less than the average height in Europe.
So 70% of 6,000 calories is about 4,000 calories of meat per day. If my math is right that is like 4lbs of beef every day for an adult. Wow! No wonder that hunted a lot of big game.
no wonder they went extinct as well, for sure it was hard to keep up with the body necessities
I think they also ate a lot of organ meats that (if I remember correctly) are more nutrient- and calorie-dense
Fats are included in it. So likely 2 pounds of meat and fat.
But once the ice age ended, animals became smaller and faster. Harder to nearly impossible to catch. Humans invented slings and traps but you just couldn't get enough to sustain off of it. Famine was common and Neanderthals just weren't built to go through periods of famine every year
Bone marrow boys. Its 97% fat and is 4% of bodyweight of an animal. Thats an endless amount of calories right there.
@leandrou100 they went extinct because we killed them. we war with each other, do you think we are going to have a completely different humanoid living next to us
"Bro, imagine if humans had the strength of chimps and gorillas."

Less relative and more ancestor. The percentage of DNA we have in us is less a remnant and more of a permanent staple.
@@jegsdinogod5091
they were genetically distinct but both in genus Homo making us relatives. Homo sapiens are closely related to Neanderthals. And they were , in part, our ancestors as well
@@jegsdinogod5091 not everyone has neanderthal DNA though.
@@evangeloevoxi Yes, because DNA mutates over time, so human beings in different geographic locations will develop strings of mutations that other humans do not have, especially if they have different environmental factors affecting their adaptations to the environment. If you can still have children with someone, they are still the same species, regardless of archeologists or whatever labeling them as something else just because they have different physiology.
The best definition for species is the best one: if they can breed and create viable offspring, then they are the same species.
Idk I don’t think we evolved I believe we were created.
Neanderthals were absolute powerhouses of the ancient world, and the more we learn, the more they seem like a lost superhuman species. It’s incredible to think they were built for bursts of speed and strength, with their compact, robust bodies allowing them to wrestle mammoths and survive brutal injuries that would incapacitate most modern humans. And that lung capacity-9 liters of air! These guys were literally built to endure and thrive in harsh, cold environments. Their massive brains and sensory adaptations, like enhanced vision and smell, make them fascinating. It’s like they were custom-designed for survival, and yet, they’re gone. Unbelievable!
Everyone dies; every thing ends...
Custom designed by God.
@@visionary4787 Does death come in a gluten-free version?
Literally fucked out of existence. When 3 percent ancestry is the most common percentage, it suggests that absorbeing Neanderthal families into human tribes only worked for a few generations, after which too many of their distinct traits bred out.
Those big powerful bodies required more calories. They couldn't weather food shortages like homo sapiens could.

The thing with the muscle fibers is that was probably an adaptation to their hunting style rather than the cause of their hunting style, endurance hunting (chase until it falls over from exhaustion) is fairly draining and heat producing, as humans we and the Neanderthals sweat to help us shed heat but in cold environments being all sweaty will get you killed.
No such thing as endurance hunting in humans. Literally 0 evidence that humans ever hunted through exhausting their prey. Today some people choose to hunt like this for fun, with the help of modern nutrition and amenities like water bottles supplied by support crews following them in jeeps, but even then their success rate is extremely low and their return on investment from a caloric view is low as well.
The whole "persistence hunter" myth was invented by some running fanatics who wanted it to be true, but had no real evidence to support their claims. All evidence points to humans always being ambush predators.
@@mikehawk6918idk i heard some native Americans would do that to horses but they would have multiple people hundreds of feet away to pass the torch when one guy got tired chasing the horse

The last Neanderthals lived in Gibraltar, a British territory on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, which is why many with European ancestry, specifically from the United Kingdom, have larger traces of Neanderthal DNA in their genes.
Fossil remains discovered in these layers suggest that Gibraltar's Neanderthals occupied the cave on and off for more than 100,000 years. Neanderthals may have clung on in the region until as recently as 24 to 33,000 years ago, according to the dating of one of the layers in Gorham's cave.
larger amount of human growth hormone in adults tends toward making thicker bones rather than longer bones. This tracks with Neanderthal skeletons.

Real
One of my favorite animated shows is Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal. While it’s not scientifically accurate in the least, it showing the strength and capacity of what a Neanderthal would possibly be able to do if it were alive around the same time as dinosaurs and modern humans was really cool to see. Peak fiction show! Would recommend checking out if you haven’t.
Never finished it but it is a good show. Calming even
I watched Martin Mystery for their Neanderthal character. Java the Caveman.
@@ggdubs1796 There’s only 20 episodes in total, I recommend finishing it.
I love that anachronistic pulpy prehistoric fantasy world. Everyone knows at this point that humans and dinosaurs (discounting birds) never coexisted, but the question of "what if they did" is so fun. I want to run a D&D campaign some day that captures the same vibe as Primal.
@@ggdubs1796 "Calming even" Except for the episode "Plague of Madness". That was about as far from calming as you can get.
So, for reference, 4500 calories is around the caloric intake requirement for soldiers in heavy fighting in artic conditions. They have specialized MREs for that.
16:00 some studies have shown that Neanderthals suffered with autoimmune issues such as rheumatoid arthritis . So maybe some populations inherited certain variants from them increasing their risk slightly but that’s still being studied
and cardiovascular issues, as well. a correlation between heart disease, atherosclerosis, etc, has been made, and effects in relation to how much dna you share. it's interesting that h.s. populations migrating through east europe and south asia contacted Neans twice, and seems to explain east asians having twice as much dna as european h.s. we may never really know for sure.
@@em1osmurf
Wow that’s cool
These things can be explained by a human being's diet. IE: Human beings on a modern diet suffer from a lot of autoimmune issues and the issues magically go away if they switch to a carnivore/keto diet due to high carb intake being the cause of the autoimmune problems. Not everything is due to DNA. A lot of health problems are due to diet.

I absolutely love Neanderthals. Its so amazing to think that at one point we lived alongside another species of human.
Ive used Neanderthals as a base for my own personal take on Orcs for a game Im writing and the more I learn the cooler they get
Several species...
We STILL live among different species of humans. We just don't call it that anymore.
Mine are used for my dwarf stand-in race, and I make use of the fact that Neanderthal had larger skull cavities in the frontal cortex, which is used mostly for rational thought in humans. As such, they can come off as coldly logical and have some tradition issues, but they're better with handicrafts, like instrument use and creation, weapon making, and some advanced gearworks in places.
Well, technically speaking, we have many species in every race: Caucasians vary from Netherlands to southern Ural Russia just as from Finland to roughly "white" people of France and Spain. Negroids differ from Sudanic to Ethiopian just as from Algerian to "black" people of South Africa. Asians are quite different from Japanese(the most closed on itself group) to Malaysians just as Kazakh is distinctively differs from Korean. Interbreeds are different as well: "semitic" Arabs and Jews do not quite look as "Persian" heritage Iranian despite being quite close to each other up to few millennia ago. Damn, even Northern and Southern Koreans differ physically(mostly due to the former being underfed which leads to height and weight reduction)!
So we were not like orcs and elves. We literally have their DNA parts in ours! Try to impregnate even modern chimp or orangutan with your semen - you'll fail(ECO, you filthy punk! "Naturally" you'll get wrecked over at the first try😂) They are nothing other than a different race built for harsh environment survival.
@@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606 i can totally see that. I love takes on dwarves that make them closer resemble how they were depicted within works like the poetic edda (or etta I dont remember) as scraggly little me that make good shit.

There is a famous French rugby player by the name of Sebastian Chabal. Seb Chabal is living proof (I think) that Neanderthals are not extinct. He was an absolute beast of a player and one of the most respected players on the international scene. Honestly, he looks like a Neanderthal…..with clothes. I say this with the deepest of respect.
We often associate calling someone a Neanderthal with meaning they are stupid, but I think we should reassociate it with pure, raw strength. Neanderthals weren't even stupid, they were probably as smart as humans.
We called him Cro Magnon, which is French for Homo Sapiens, so, we weren't exactly on the Neanderthal mark, but we collectively agreed he had some raw prehistoric human showing through.
And that’s only like 1-3% Neanderthal DNA. A 100% specimen wouldn’t even look human

Could folk tales about hardy and strong Dwarves be misremembered encounters with Neanderthals?
They were taller then homosapiens at the time, just both were shorter than modern people
Almost all cultures have legends about 'The Elder Peoples' Dwarves,Elves,Giants,who usually lived in dense forests,or underground,in caves or tunnels mined into the earth.
Historically,inbred populations often concentrate genetic traits like dwarfism and gigantism,and sometimes low birthrates,which,again historically have led to long-distance,usually stealthy raids to bolster the declining population.
Our ancestors knew these people,and many of our oldest stories handed down from generation to generation are about them.
No.
They were taller than modern humans of the day.
When have you heard of a dwarf beinf 5'10?
I'm thinking more hobgoblins (or whatever orcs were called before Tolkien) than dwarves.
one thing you didnt mention: it could be outdated data by now but in my studies (archaeology) I learned that neanderthals were anatomically not as good at throwing as sapiens, due to their skeletal structure. this was suggested as a possible reason for their extinction, as sapiens were believed to be more efficient hunters
it is mentioned in the video, towards the end
It's unlikely either group used throwing weapons that long ago.
@@The_Savage_Wombatsapiens has bows 70,000 years ago and likely brought the technology with them to Europe. We probably used throwing spears before that. Neanderthals didn't hunt using ranged weapons, which is why they have higher incidences of traumatic injury.
Using a bow has very little to do with throwing; a Neanderthal would probably do pretty well with them if they were present.
It would have been very interesting if they had survived past the development of agriculture and entered into the historical record in larger social groups; advantages for hunting aside, much pre-modern combat exhibited progression away from ranged weaponry and towards more lethal close combat in step with sociopolitical centralisation. That suggests some considerable advantages to the Neanderthals in many scenarios of agrarian warfare.
@@minutemansam3122 Bow and arrow dates to about 13,500 years ago in Europe, long after neanderthals were gone. There are no statistics of higher traumatic injury amongst neanderthals. It happened to so called modern humans just as often.

But part of them was passed on, in a way they are not extinct. Although only part of the human race bear that DNA marker (establishing that we do in fact have a dividing evolution, which we SHOULD be talking about).
@@tablescissors yeah buts that waaay to complicated because central asia was a free for all with multiple human subspecies. they recently found a possible 3rd one after finding one in 2010

@@AntiquatedApe That only would’ve happened during times when food became more scarce. Possible, certainly, during the harsher periods of the ice age.
@@psychokinrazalon I'm talking about the actual metabolic ability for the body to break down and absorb the nutrients available in the food.
The problem with them being strong like that is that it requires more calories, which is why it's thought that they died out
Other possibility was what I would call the transcontinental war against the Homo sapiens.
@supermaximglitchy1 I disagree. There is a cave where homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and one other species of human lived in a cave at the same time, and they obviously traded technically and taught each other hunting and foraging techniques. Did they war? Yes; did they trade? Yes; did they interbreed? Yes, obviously. They event thought to have killed them off was a change in the environment. They couldn't get enough calories compared to the homo sapiens, who could barely get enough, and we see that as, around the same time, we were in a genetic bottleneck
No species survives for thousands of years if their dietary requirement is such a handicap.
@@supermaximglitchy1any evidence for this claim?
@@Umar-gw6fy I call it a war but it’s more of a migration from the Homo sapiens from Africa who decided to go to Europe. Conflict between the two groups would be inevitable and besides, the Neanderthals were somewhat dominating Europe before the invasion. The Sapiens also had certain advantages such as throwing their spears and their stamina was seemingly limitless compared to the Neanderthals.
That would also explain the existence of their dna within some of us because after conflict there was peace and during that peace was love. Eventually due to cheer numbers the pure Neanderthals went extinct and later the crossbreeds would have their Neanderthal percentage very low to the point where we are now.
I would like to make a poll to change the name of this video. Nothing to major, i would propose " Neanderthals were Killer-Survivor specialist" or something around that range with your flair.
From what I heard in the video after reading the name, Im sitting here waiting for what would be considered weird objectively. A third ear, maybe a shaped tooth could be called weird but i expected something that had biologically no use to them. Like our smaller tailbone and shorter jaws which causes complication swith our molar teeth. Unless there were some facts missed or insufficient resources to make a detailed analyzation of neanderthals to concluded more freakish traits. Everything in the video spoke on what made them built to live in there time. I found it hilarious being at the end of the video I found the title to be a whole antonym.
Awesome video by the way keep up the good work.
8:11 Thank you for including a scene from Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal! That show immediately came to mind when watching this video.
Spear is metal as fuck💪🏾
great ad, it's relevant to the video topic and seems like a quality organization. refreshing.
That clip of Spear from Primal was awesome
All I can think is a caveman version of Kendrick Lamar after seeing the thumbnail..
LEGIT
People just ignore the Denisovans, even though they survive in our modern genome just like Neanderthals, and were equally as intelligent.
Not true. But the first remnant of a Neanderthal was described in 1856, while the first Denisovan was described in 2010. We just know more about the Neanderthals then about the Denisovans at this point in time, because we had more time to study them. I'm sure we will see more findings and results for the Denisovans in the coming years.

Andreas is correct, however Denisovans are also more Asian sub-group with more DNA passed down through 2 separate breeding events on the Asian Continent. Groups in between Asia and Europe seem to have the highest percentage of both (all 3?) groups.
Yeah but Denisovans are gay lol
Because there’s minimal physical evidence of them
Thank you for taking the time to help the elephants.
They didn't go extinct, they are in some of us to this day.
The species is extinct. The amount of Neanderthal dna found in people today is within margin of error to be fully ignored
Yes. The modern H. Sapiens is a hybrid of several prior hominid species.
@@H33t3Speaks They are in Europeans and Asians genome..
Asians and Caucasian have 5 to 15% Neanderthal when Nigroids have none, the Latin (Roman)race before race mixing are a close representation to N. Neanderthal had a bigger brain than cromanion ..my theory is cromanion were the Caucasian off the boat of Noah and Neanderthal were the Israelites..
@@jjnelson3232They are in some African populations genomes as well.
Saw the title and thought we was getting pre historic kendrick 🙏💯💀
Spear and Fang approve of this video
HEHEHE I GET THIS REFERENCE MUAHAHAHHAH
I said the same thing lol
Even the thumbnail dissed drake 💀
They not like us
I have a reason to appreciate your collaboration with Planet Wild.
Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
13:54 Drake’s past life
Why did the Neanderthal bring a ladder to the bar?
Because they heard the drinks were on the house! 😂
After this video I guess he'd just come and beat the sh*t out of everyone and then have it for free. xD
@@sonatine3266 nah he'd just lift the house and topple it.
💀 💀
Is funny cause they could not understand ethunsms
@@sonatine3266 The guns
i’m a bee researcher from australia and omg thanks for the info about bio-fencing with bees!! i had not heard of that before!!
There's a NASA expert who wrote a book in the late 1970's and says the Neanderthals were seeded from extraterrestrials (astronauts):
"Astronauts from another planet in another solar system landed on Earth and mated with Neanderthal women. Thus, producing the Cro Magnon!". -Chatelain, Maurice. "Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space: A NASA Expert confirms Mankind's Extraterrestrial Origins". Dell Publishing Company, 1979
Nah, the thumbnail proves that even Ancient People are starting to diss Drake 💀
I read a hypothesis that stated the intervreeding with neanderthals helped homosapiens sapiens by making them a bit tougher and more suitable to survive colder weather. And of course them being ironically smarter.
But there was a catch; we became more likely to have type 2 diabetes, lupus and Crohn’s disease among other things..
@@stefansalvatierra4913hey, nothings free and if your healthy most (would you believe it) health problems can be avoided
@@stefansalvatierra4913 diabetes has been cured so you can at least scratch that one off the list
actually some modern evidence says that we are smarter, even though they had larger brains, they also had larger bodies and eyes, meaning less of their brain was dedicated to higher function relative to ours
So Eve, not Lilith.
My favourite crazy Neanderthal research topic (not proven yet, sadly) is that they were capable of torpor, the thing bears do in winter.
I wanna be a neanderthal now
Dentists have told me that my teeth are super hard with abnormally deep roots. Also, my muscle density gives me far greater strength than my appearance. I have also been told that I have a thick skull, but that was my mother talking.
I chuckled at the last one.
I’m still waiting for the third channel focused on spec evo, cryptozoology, and mythological/folkloric creatures!
create it and stop waiting
@@vm360fly I was telling extinctzoo to create a “mindzoo” channel!
Real creatures are a lot more compelling than childish fantasies
@@MtnGirll how are speculative evolution, cryptozoology and mythological/folkloric creatures “cHiLdIsH FaNtAsY”? They can be just as compelling and interesting as real life animals!
@@MtnGirll paleontology is also speculative evolution, just backwards 🤷
I clicked because I thought this was going to be a Neanderthal parody of Kendrick’s song, and I stayed because the content was better
I signed up for Planet Wild thanks to this vid. I didn't even know about them. Great stuff!
Creating a team of super soldiers by cloning dead Neanderthals would make a great premise for a book.
I know it's mostly the same as an army of genetically enhanced super soldiers, but arguably, we're closer to achieving the former than the latter, which would impact the feel of the story.
You’d have to account for modern diseases in the story, though. Maybe some time of super-immunization procedure or something?
Nehandertal was custom built for his time and environnement. He would not fare really well in warmer climate.
Read Extinction by Douglas Preston
8:10 OK Extinct Zoo's use of a Primal clip makes me so happy. This show ended too soon, it's so good
It was a great series!
The last episode was pretty bad but the rest was a very good time 👌
13:04 this picture has insane meme potential
Democrats vs Republicans🤣
To be called Republican would be an insult to Neanderthals tbh
@@Sundry303dont insult neanderthals by comparing them to democrats😂
this generation is doomed
@@worstfateTrue, but not because of these great jokes
Just remember, that if you think you're a badass, you'll still never be neanderthal badass.
With all the differences, they're still close enough for us to mate with, and the hybrid offspring were also able to reproduce. That's better than horse and donkeys. Pretty trippy to think about.
Oh ya, so true!
Only the neanderthal males and thats also kinda interesting. They must have been packing some special sauce.
Man.. I love the concept and focus of this channel
top tier iformational video. straight to the facts and well explained. learned alot here
Kendrick Lamar effected even education videos about different species
Maybe im just crazy, but i ONLY saw the thumbnail and thought this was some Neanderthal voice cover of not like us.
SAME 💀🙏
@@Minotaur256GD we might be dull 😭
Now that’s not a nice way to talk about our cousins
Yea... how unfortunate that they didn't make it. How unfortunate indeed.
@@FlymanMS Are you deaf? He said within the first minute their DNA is still around, in other words they are not extinct.
@@FlymanMS we are part Neanderthal
@@porkypile I know for sure that you are joke deaf. Seems like every day there are more and more weird people on yt who can't get the most basic things and leave their pointless comments everywhere. Wasn't a thing like even 5 years ago but ig new kids type first and think never.
@@porkypileIt was probaly a joke, and, what do you mean deaf? You can’t hear a message…
This change in outlook towards neanderthals will always crack me up everytime😂😂😂
Why?
Exactly what this is is that white people and Asian people discovered that they are descendants of Neanderthals so now they are trying to change what they actually are into these “unstoppable powerhouses” just to make themselves feel better I’m gonna stick to the actual facts that Neanderthals are stupid cave people
