Our neighborhood is having quite an ant invasion this year! This video helped give me a bit of perspective and hence patience. It rather hurts my heart to see neighbors spraying - the collateral damage must be enormous (even if 'invisible'). Very grateful for this timely presentation! Also grateful you post on YT - for all of us hard-of-hearing folks, the subtitles are a relief and a blessing! Thanks again - and thanks for having such interesting topics and speakers!

I spotted one of these beauty's in my yard. ❤❤ my dog booked it with her nose but she's fine she was curious. After I saved it with a sock (makeshift glove and told it to jump the fence) And shortly after one was in my swimming pool swimming with my dad's lol my dad's thought it was a Sonoran desert frog. Lol.

If you, and they, say that there is no discernible difference between the European bees and so called africanized ones, perhaps there isn't.

Omgggg not the ant bully honeydew 😂

While most of what you said is true, I think it's irresponsible to downplay the danger of AHB. AHB are not "slightly more aggressive". They are extremely aggressive and send out a far greater number of attackers than EHB (in many cases, north of 50% of the hive.)

Excellent. Even mentioning the Younger-Dryas Impact event shows an open mind. I learned new details that inform the Pleistocene Lake Lahontan videos I make from my airplane.

Hasn't been chilly here for a few hundred years, but its my personal hell, i mean home. Life then or now is a hell of a existence to live here. Too dam cold then too dam hot much like death valley.

Thank you, Joshua for this wonderful insightful presentation ✨💫 PattiO

Dr. Ryan grossly exaggerates climate differences. The Sonoran Desert is both a subtropical anticyclone desert and a rain shadow desert, and the Coast Ranges were still there. Arizona was dry during that period for the same reason Nevada, Utah and eastern Oregon are dry today. Yes, there was Sonoran Desert vegetation. Creosotes have been found to be collective organisms as old as 12,000 years. Given that the saguaro cactus grows nowhere else in the world but the southwest USA and northwest Mexico, it would have become extinct if the climate had changed that much. Yes, I'm sure it existed in far southwest Arizona during the Pleistocene. Also intensity of sunlight is a much better predictor of evaporation rates than temperature. Probably Phoenix often had triple digit heat back then. After all California's Central Valley still does.

Where can I see Cliffrose in Prescott?

Well, finally a video that tells what Africanized means. Thanks! Most video's suppose we know it all, or we don't wanna know.

Really interesting. Love these lectures, thank you.

A very interesting presentation. Do you have any other events planned for the future?

Not all the "strength of the earth" (medicine) is for you. 44:13

Great levture. I hate the over hunting theory. Ice age mammals died out when ice age ended. Duh.

I was under the impression of direwolf wasn't a wolf not k9

This is wrong your sites for mammoth 🦣 are simply large debris in a large flood being deposited while being shredded in the Eddy's swerling around and sand rock and other Sharped pebbles in the waters being torn up like a blender

thank you

Growing up at the base of Graham mnt, I'd heard tales of these cats. Great to have the information presented so clearly & passionately. Could've listened to a story or two of his.

Going to strongly disagree with his claims about the diet. The large majority of pre-agricultural societies ate almost entirely fat and meat based diets. They only ate plant material as survival food when they could not secure a kill. It is only a very few isolated ancient societies that ate a diet of majority plant material, and those isolated peoples show all manner of diet related diseases and abnormalities. Stunted growth, poorly formed bones, tooth decay and teeth ground down, overall shorter height, higher rates of cancers and heart disease, etc. Dr. Michael Eades has several very good lectures about this.

I am amazed at how similar these humans were in figuring out how to make a point as a weapon using flint from europe to the americas, how similar the spears, arrows and atlatls were yet no solid evidence of travels among the continents. But mostly I am astounded with the evidence in China, asia, americas, europe, and africa of enormous walls of stones fitting against each other with no mortar and no gaps. How did they do that? Best answer so far for me is copper drills with imbedded carborundum or diamond crystals.

Well done and informative!

Dr. Earyn McGee was one of my favourites to follow when I was on Twitter. It’s nice to find her here!

Wonderful talk! Thanks so much from New Mexico.

The last pole shift and magnetic reversal was the reason for the mass extinction. That and a meteor impact contributed.

Research "The Carolina Bays" for more evidence of impact the hypothesis.

I always believed in beringia butbi also believe they came from polynesia as well

This is what I envisioned UTube was created for education 😁 Science isn't complicated as the negro slave from Texas educated himself shows that no race or ethnicity was better than another and the bravery of the indigenous during the last ice age with cooperation for survival with TRUST of what each person that the community depended upon for survival thus any human that lied was removed from the group and died thus humans have developed to cooperate not fighting before domestication of plants and animals. When that occurred the strong violent males took from others with propaganda of fear that every human should be taught and were by their tribe show no fear as the scent is obvious to a predator.

2024 Cicadapocalypse anyone???

32:13 😂good luck with that.

Omg, REALLY??!! Stick with the archeology.. leave the Marxist leaning statements about the man under the bridge being there because of the unfair distribution of wealth 60's fantasy in the past where it belongs. That man is under the bridge because he chooses to be, period. There are those among us who intentionally hurt others and take others stuff without permission. That Utopian world that you seem to present for 'hunter gatherer' societies is pure fantasy. You know why it's fantasy? Because even they dealt with deviants, harshly and quickly, those elements were culled from their societies with extreme prejudice, sometimes brutally. You want to save kittens? Go save kittens. Bad men are not kittens, and never will be and will continue to prey on their neighbors unless dealt with... THAT is unfortunately human nature and no amount of flowers or 'free love' will change that.

Watch the video IS GENESIS HISTORY

Are you at NAU?

Dr Ryan is a fabulous presenter! I have never heard a lecturer do as great of a job at explaining ice-age finds, why they are significant, and how that relates to the environment and early humans.

Loved it!

Delightful and open-minded presentation! Dick Ryan is fully-informed and skilled at showing comparative photos and illustrations. These are exciting times for North American archaeology. Many thanks!

Hmm, cooler, moister environment, what’s not to like? Let’s go back to the Ice Age!

Thank you SO MUCH for your comments towards the very end on the ills of capitalism. People need to realize how "antiquated" that socioeconomic arrangement is now. A better world is possible, and we Humans proved it tens of thousands of years ago (our ancestors' lifestyles and practices and BELIEFS updated to modern standards, of course)

Outstanding presentation, thank you!

From what I understand, due to much of Great Basin being full of water, most of the intermontane West/SW surrounding it was far more wooded and vegetated than it is today, making the entire region perfect for the First Peoples of the Americas to thrive in, before expanding south and east as the climate changed at the end of the last glacial.

The lecture was great. Thank you so much

"The misconception arises from a fact." i like that

I often dream of what it would be like to have lived back then here in AZ. If I find a time machine I’m definitely going back 18,000 years ago and see if I can get in on a mammoth hunt.

Such a great presentation.

Excellent!

Great video, these are one of my favorite butterflies

For the past couple years, as I've paid more attention to the progress of seasonal activity of living things, I've noticed that some of the first insects I see becoming active in the spring are members of the order diptera, the flies. They seem to be some of the first ones to start thriving and show up in surprising diversity from the first bit of warmth. I'll suddenly start noticing anything from flower flies, to tachinids, to muscoids, craneflies and other nematocerans like fungus gnats, midges, mosquitos, and gall midges, as well as various leaf miners and a wealth of others. This is just in my own observation in flats of coastal southern California.
