    One thing I really like about North 02 is how explicitly he differentiates between what is the scientific consensus, what are the scientific community's various speculations when there is not enough evidence for conclusiveness, and what are his own speculations based on the research. It's cool that he shares all three, and his specification of which is which is vital when doing scientific documentaries such as these.

      semi recently chimps and bonobos have been shown to have the physical parts necessary to speak, but not the neurological ability to do so. basically all of the pieces of the puzzle were probably there, from the physical body to the social situations that result in language, so realistically you're right to at least an extent.

    I am convinced that speech has been a part of us for at least a million years, developing to fit every culture. Starting with öess syllables and shorter words, with grammar suitable for the kind of life they had back then. I have no proof for this, but it doesn't make sense see the same kind of build in most skulls being dismissed by some scholars.

    • @eudyptes5046
      @eudyptes5046 2 роки тому +50

      I agree. The fact that the earliest H. sapiens remains we know were already perfectly adapted to speech makes only sense if it was already present in earlier species. The ability to speak is very important for a social species that hunts in groups, so traits that make speech possible, both in the hyoid bone and the brain, must have been a strong selective advantage.

    However Boomerangs used for hunting large animals are much larger, heavier and differently shaped sticks that can weigh several kilos.

I don't like the term subspecies so much as it has connotations of subhuman (another word I'd don't like)... Liberals can't admit MANY RACES WENT EXTINCT due to being Greatly Replaced by a recent mass-migration out of Africa... Neanderthals, Denosovians, Heidelbergensis, probably other Homo Erectus offshoots could all breed with Homo Sapiens as they were all different races / varieties of THE SAME SPECIES... HUMANITY.
      --
      If this truth was pushed the Liberal Globalist Narrative would fall apart as the current white European Right Wing know they are being deliberately, systematically Greatly Replaced in their own native lands - in this case by ruling Globalist traitors in 60 years of European and British mass immigration, not 10s or 100s of 1000s of years..

      I think Erectus bridges that gap. Before Erectus, we were much more primitive. No clothing or fire, more hair, more ape-like faces, smaller, very simplistic language if it all. By the end of Erectus getting into Hiedelberginsis, we had grown to modern proportions, our faces were more human than ape, we had clothes, language, one could even say civilization on a local scale. Late Erectus was human. By Hiedelbergensis/Neanderthal/Denisovan, they were practically archaic Homo Sapiens. They had just about every feature we had. Only the smallest of differences (like being more robust, which caused Neanderthals to have to eat more than us to do the same things as us, which led to them being slowly outcompeted) made us survive and them go extinct. By 1 million years ago or so, we had pretty much fully fledged humans walking around.
      As a side note, I used to always think of Neanderthals as so archaic, but having educated myself, it’s clear to me that they were every bit as human as our early ancestors were, just built slightly differently and slightly less efficiently. They were extremely modern hominins.

      @@daylightbright7675 Really? The process of this, as provided by paleontologists, occurred over millions of years. They still haven't found the fossils that bridge the gap, & as more evidence is found, we learn that hominids have multiple species that didn't occur in a linear fashion, as Darwin theorized. At most, paleontologists might have some clues to when and where, but they certainly don't have the answers to how or why.
      How did these species learn to dominant its environment? Merely climate change? In million of years, how did they cross over to the understanding of language, philosophy & human nature? How did they come to figure out the concept of art? How did they come to see their selves differentiated from the world around them & developing advanced cognition? How did they figure out how to adapt all of earth's elements? How did they figure out the things were proper for agriculture & making agricultural products that can only be generated from man, and not in the wild? How did they figure out how to domesticate animals? Where are the other animals, after millions of years, that have established agriculture and/or domestication and/or art/language/philosophy? Any animal that has the exact intelligence comparable to man that has ever existed on this planet??? Is brain size the mere difference? Then why isn't the sperm whale dominating its environment like humans?
      Why did these changes occur? Why aren't we living next to the planet of the apes? Or the bears? Or the whales? Or whatever animal that is just as 'special' as humans? Why aren't there other species that learned to control, adapt, & manipulate all of earth's elements? Why aren't there more animals that can create synthetic elements-- things literally NOT NATURALLY occurring on earth? Why aren't there animals that have left this planet to explore others? Why did human's intelligence cross over to advance cognitive understanding? Can anthropologists tell us exactly who figured it out and why and how? How do they know that these species were even covered in hair or not? It's imagination or a guess based on their own biases or what they would say is their best GUESS/theory. There is no scientist that can explain exactly how or why these changes occurred and/or why we are the only species to do all these SPECIAL things. At best, they can can guess at the possibilities of what, where and when things took place, although even that is a huge argumentative debate--i.e east, west, Africa... and guess/theorize about the hows and whys of it... but there is no written record in the bones and artifacts provided that can explain the exact thought process that went into the knowledge that every human takes for grant...and like yourself...claim isn't all that 'special' and we're just 1 animal out of many...

We humans now take for granted all the advances that MAN has made to transform to the modern era. All other animals on earth that have millions of years of recorded history have yet to develop one iota more than they were when they first existed to the point of even cognition. You'd even be hard pressed to find a species that would care for its old, sick, & injured to exhibit even slight compassion. If it ever does exist, it's the exception, not the rule...that's why it gets SO much attention. But they aren't communicating and understanding like you and I here on YT dialoguing over a computer created by man. ...and my only thing to say about 'biases' is that, I don't care if you're religious or not...Plato and Socrates could provide you more understanding than a chimpanzee. Not one anthropologist, paleontologist, or scientist can explain succinctly and definitively the full origins of man, since there is a gap in the fossils..even in the last 2 decades we've learned that our supposed "ancestors" didn't develop linearly like Darwin theorized but in separate species that co-existed. And the science isn't definitive as even this video explains, as things become discovered and we "learn" more. The only thing that scientists can do is guess as to why man developed cognition that lead to all the advancements of humankind. They are guesses. No one knows the whys of how these things came about. How they developed their intelligence to figure out all these advancements. It IS special. It IS unique...and what is the thing that put those thoughts into man??? One thing the scientists will admit is, the change over to man is when WE start BURYING or dead...suggestive of a spiritual understanding... why did man develop this cognition???

    I realise there's not much proof of it, but I suspect these early people were far more sophisticated than the crude "wild man" illustrations suggest. I expect they had hairstyles - e.g. the bobbles on Venus figurines could well be intricate platted hairstyles. They had the ingenuity to make bead necklaces, why not then beaded clothes, woven garments, even if the yarns were only strips of leather? I hate seeing them drawn as almost naked with a crude animal fur thrown on top - I suspect they could do a lot better than that. The chances are that they were either hirsute themselves, or they knew how to make practical clothes to protect them from the weather, bags too!

The whereabouts I found it, was a narrow stretch of water called the Solent (between the British mainland and the Isle Of Wight). During the time the hand axe would have been knapped, the Solent (the closest costal part from Boxgrove) would have been land. It’s amazing to think how much the world changes, just from when our lost lineages once walked the earth.

      How can you tell if it's an actual handaxe and not just a well shaped natural rock? I also found what looked like a hand axe in the local hills of Zimbabwe called the Matopos but I was not sure if it was one or just a coincidence.

    This one is an improvement over the last one I watched and commented on. One suggestion I have is to include labels on the screen when you drop new terms on us, such as Dinopithicus (?) and disease names. Even if we go to look them up, it can be difficult to guess the spelling. It’s good, however, to see illustrative maps with arrows when discussing geography. Great content in this one!

    Congratulations on a very educational video. I‘m actually living in Heidelberg & working as a tour guide. So, i‘m often telling my tourists about homo heidelbergensis and how they can see a replica of his jaw bone in our museum.
    Have i understood correctly that i can now add;
    - he lived to be 45yrs old (max)
    - he hunted & ate elephants
    - possibly knew how to use fire
    - kept alive handicapped children?
    All fascinating facts - thankyou.
    If anyone has anymore similar info that is interesting to inspire & educate Tourists pls do share ……
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
    Henry

      Hiedelbergensis definitely knew how to make and use fire. Even Erectus a million years before him had mastered fire. Hiedelbergensis was probably clothed, spoke languages, weren’t hairy like an animal, had skin and sweat glands like us, maybe made huts and temp houses, had faces much more like humans than apes. They were basically archaic Homo Sapiens imo. Like, where do you draw the line some 315,000 years ago between Hiedelbergensis and Homo Sapiens doing the same things in the same ways? Homo Sapiens were merely built a tad more efficiently, so they had to eat less to do the same tasks, this outcompeting Hiedelbergensis, Neanderthals, and Denisovans.

      From my research, I believe Heidelbergensis was the successor to Erectus, and the last common ancestor of Homo Sapiens, Neanderthals, and probably Denisovans. Later Heidelbergensis were essentially archaic Homo Sapiens. The difference between Hiedelbergensis and the earliest Homo Sapiens some 315,000 years ago is minuscule. They both had language, clothing, shelter, tools, were hairless. Humans were just built slightly more efficiently, so we could eat less to do the same activities, leading to us outcompeting them. That’s my take, anyways.
