Neanderthals never had a large population and they survived for a longer time than homo sapiens have existed and through massive climatic swings, and yet we are fundamentally more successful than them because our arrival in Europe pushed them to extinction regardless of how tough they were. So yeah, I think it's plausible.

The only near-extinction event this world has experienced is the Flood of Noah ~2350 BC. All humanity save 8 individuals perished. This historical narrative recorded in Genesis chapters 6-9 is corroborated not only by the physical evidence/remnants worldwide, but by similar recounts of the same event showing up clearly in cultures and oral traditions everywhere. The fossil record demonstrates this, as well. Recall the discoveries of the past 20 years involving intact SOFT-TISSUE (blood platelets, capillaries, et al) in DINOSAUR (aka 'dragons' prior to 1841) bones e.g. the T-Rex discovery. If the 65-million-year myth was true, no soft tissue could last that long.
@npc4805 Generally speaking we should expect to find steel tools and weapons buried in sediment dating back that far, if a medieval era occurred in ancient history. It's not impossible, but improbable until we find steel dating back that far.
I noticed that immediately. That sort of glitch seriously undermines a viewer’s confidence in just how careful and rigorous the writing is with respect to everything else these videos are addressing.
"The water levels would be falling, not rising." Not necessarily, molecules tend to compress when cold, that principle being applied in hyper conduction. But with one of the exception being water mollecule that tend to expand when it freezes. The water/ice level would therefore rise. If ice forms elsewhere like from the bottom of the water, other than the surface, which isn't the case on earth, the water would expand. Edit: I wish people learn how to read before replying
@@KFC431 - No. The freezing of sea water into floating ice does NOT raise overall sea levels. More broadly, the growth of ice sheets on land (not floating) is associated universally with falling sea levels, exposing previously submerged land bridges. And by trying to quibble over how the volume of water expands when it freezes into ice, you are totally missing the essential point, that the statement in the video simply makes no sense: that human migration to previously uninhabited areas of the globe was made possible by “land routes that emerged as . . . water levels rose.” Rising sea levels do NOT expose land that human populations can walk across. PERIOD. That’s why the video’s statement •was• wrong.
Also 4:23 "dramatic shift in climate change" is clumsy. Not quite redundant - because the patterns of climate change did, also, change - but it needs to be unpacked better.
Homo sapiens have been around for approximately 300,000 years, but the concept of civilization, characterized by the development of cities, writing, and complex societies, emerged much later. This means that while anatomically modern humans have existed for a long time, organized civilization as we know it has existed for only about 5,000 to 6,000 years. Very amazing !
I have seen some suggestions it was more 100,000 - 200,000 years ago when homo sapien sapien emerged. But your point remains, these extinctions were earlier homo species, not our current species. The film maker does partly cover this.
Even then it's disputed if we can even call them humans though. Modern humans are thought to have only existed for 10-30 000 years with at the extreme most 60-90 000 years
@@Brandon-nr8fn Well, let's qualify his bad information by revising it to the fact that "modern" Homo Sapiens, as we pretty much are today, started about 160,000 years ago.
What I always wondered was how did they manage to work out they could make fire with friction and/or flints. I mean, if I already didn't know how, I might try with a magnifying glass but it would never occur to me to try it with friction. IQ would have a lot to do with it. Aboriginals in Tasmania forgot how it was done and they kept two fire sites permanently lit where others could go to get fire. If those sites ever went out, they'd have been in big trouble.
It is one of the reasons why humanity is so uniform, both in morphology and in behaviour. Without this event, there would be much more variations in body shape, intellect, etc.
@@mutteringmale In humans there's a severe problem in having a too closely related DNA which causes morphology and behavior, makes it more often that recessive diseases and deformities appear.
There it is, the big lie the churches, who control all your normal bodily function and makes you pay for it, has told you. The genetic diversity is only really applicable in small populations, very small. Bad genes then get passed around and there is a TINY bit of malformed genetic code. But then, there is the good thing about that also...think of those northern Italians in a tiny village since 100BC who 40% of them have a mutant gene that protects them from cholesterol, heart attacks etc. You can marry your sister, but it's not a good idea for your kids to marry kids from your uncles' Arkansas's children. :)

I remember reading that this event is also suspected to have been caused by something cosmic. Like, a meteor impact or a powerful ray burst. A lot of species went extinct during this event. One interesting thing that those species who survived had in common was that they tended to live at least part-time in caves.
You are mixing up millions of years apart extinction events. The meteor extinction phase saw our rodent-like tiny ancestors hiding in burrows at that time, in a reptilian world.
Imagine being the cavebro whose family had won the cave real estate by combat, you wake up one more morning and all your outside homies are blackened skeletons.
0:07 The picture shows a population bottleneck, not a genetic bottleneck. In a population bottleneck, all populations survive and reproduce, just in fewer numbers. In a genetic bottleneck, genetic diversity has been reduced, usually from the extinction of one or more genetically distinct populations within the species.
@@billcrandall9386 A population bottleneck is just a large reduction in the overall number of individuals in a species, while still keeping its genetic diversity. A genetic bottleneck is an elimination of several populations within the species, greatly reducing the species' genetic diversity. Of course, they can both occur at the same time.
Yea, what he says is wrong. It had the same outcome, as the ice sheets grew migration was easier, but not over land, it was over the ice. Please turn your flag around.
@@bigredc222 Actually there was a lot more land on the seacoast, the ice on the continents lowered the sea levels, ice in the water will raise them slightly as water expands when it forms ice, and yes as the weight depressed the land under the glaciers, other ice free areas would have risen. Ice melting at the North Pole will not make that much difference to the Sea levels, ice melting in Antarctica and Greenland is what will sink Miami. Climate change is a fact and whether it happens naturally or we speed it up, it is real and doesn't give a damn if you believe in it or not. The only reasonable argument to be made is not whether it is happening, but how are we going to adapt to it in order to survive as a viable civilization.

We now know that Toba was more locally devastating than globally. While certain areas of humans nearly went extinct in many other places they were doing just fine.
75,000 year ago Mt. Toba exploded wiping out many humans, animals and plants. If there was a highly advanced human civilization say Ramachandra was more advanced that we will be in 200 years failed to stop the caldera. I would say it was a centuries long civil war that took more time and tech to maintain instead of ending it. Why they were caught with their pants down when it exploded. damaged it severely and 42,000 years ago was the final end to it.
Thanks SO much for your clear narration and this terrific compilation of thoughtful, artistic discussion. When I saw your title, I thought: Toba! It's good to learn that the hypothesis has been updated. I'm also grateful that you took the time to share other hypotheses about the bottleneck. Most of all, it's wonderful that you spoke in terms of species, adaptation and selection, rather than the fashionable scientifically sloppy language. ("Then humans chose to..." 🙄) Great job, gold stars! 😊 👍 ⭐⭐⭐
The most amazing and rapid evolution over the decades is the observation that depictions of our "ancestors" skin tone in books and videos keeps getting lighter and lighter. Fascinating.
they don't and this is all fiction. Humans weren't around 900,000 years ago. Humans weren't around 10,000 years ago there's literally zero proof of any of this without giant holes in it
The term everything happens for a reason is VERY apt for a lot of situations throughout history. The most unanswerable questions are often the ones that vex us the most and the question is, WHY did whatever event occur? The answer is we may never truly know without that one required preserved skiff of dirt that shows us what happened.
The near extinction event discussed in this video happened tens of millions of years after we lost the ability to produce vitamin C. That happened in some stem primate. Edit: All of our nearest relatives (all the way to tarsiers) have the same broken GULO gene. That puts our loss of the ability to produce vitamin C at probably more than 60 million years ago.
The 'Volume of Material Erupted' graphic at 0:39 is wrong, on the date of the Yellowstone Huckleberry Ridge eruption. That was 2.1 million years ago, not 74000. If it was 74000, that would put it roughly concurrent with the Toba eruption - which would definitely help to bolster the Toba bottleneck theory...if it were a correct dating...which it's not.
I thought the Toba volcano was pretty well given it being a Super volcano especially. That's amazing how much things move along nowadays as far as research goes. I really enjoyed the video. Educating myself on things like this is the only thing that keeps me going.
@@deirdre108 Basically every century there are a few periods were people talking about (necessary) apocolypses, end of days, return of jesus etc. There's a big 'ol wikipedia list filled with them. If these claims say anything, it is about the short-sightedness of humans, in which they think the time they are living in is more special than other times.
You miss one hypothesis: That they kill each others to almost extinction... and that we are the heirs of the worst of the worse. The ones who survived.
we would not be living close. our ancient ancestors lived in small family tribes. and would live pretty far from any other tribe. because hunting and gathering requires you to cover huge piece of land to get enough food.... but yea, if you were living close to some other tribe, you would no be very friendly with them because you are competing for same resources. they would probably get into frequent raids. stealing food and women.
They did not die. 900k years ago was when two of the 24 chromosomes primates normally have fused, to create the 23 humans have. It was not a near extinction event, it was actually the start of our species.
@eekamoose You can look it up if you want, it is well known. Search of "when did chromosome 2 fuse" I will provide a link to a paper in a second post, but it may not appear because youtube does not like links. Anyway the current accepted estimate is around 900k years ago, but more generally it is 0.75 to 4.5 million years.
There'd be so much more proselytizing nowadays if the Velocopastors didn't go extinct. Some say it was the ice, others say it was the lack of donations.

8:22: Errata: "Thanks to land routes that emerged as the ice sheets grew and water levels rose." The water levels would be falling, not rising.
I noticed that immediately. That sort of glitch seriously undermines a viewer’s confidence in just how careful and rigorous the writing is with respect to everything else these videos are addressing.
"The water levels would be falling, not rising."
Not necessarily, molecules tend to compress when cold, that principle being applied in hyper conduction. But with one of the exception being water mollecule that tend to expand when it freezes. The water/ice level would therefore rise.
If ice forms elsewhere like from the bottom of the water, other than the surface, which isn't the case on earth, the water would expand.
Edit: I wish people learn how to read before replying
@@KFC431 - No. The freezing of sea water into floating ice does NOT raise overall sea levels.
More broadly, the growth of ice sheets on land (not floating) is associated universally with falling sea levels, exposing previously submerged land bridges.
And by trying to quibble over how the volume of water expands when it freezes into ice, you are totally missing the essential point, that the statement in the video simply makes no sense: that human migration to previously uninhabited areas of the globe was made possible by “land routes that emerged as . . . water levels rose.” Rising sea levels do NOT expose land that human populations can walk across. PERIOD. That’s why the video’s statement •was• wrong.
Also 4:23 "dramatic shift in climate change" is clumsy. Not quite redundant - because the patterns of climate change did, also, change - but it needs to be unpacked better.
The term you are looking for is "glacial rebound" as heavy ass ice sheets melt and recede the land itself rises.
Homo sapiens have been around for approximately 300,000 years, but the concept of civilization, characterized by the development of cities, writing, and complex societies, emerged much later. This means that while anatomically modern humans have existed for a long time, organized civilization as we know it has existed for only about 5,000 to 6,000 years. Very amazing !
I have seen some suggestions it was more 100,000 - 200,000 years ago when homo sapien sapien emerged. But your point remains, these extinctions were earlier homo species, not our current species. The film maker does partly cover this.
Even then it's disputed if we can even call them humans though. Modern humans are thought to have only existed for 10-30 000 years with at the extreme most 60-90 000 years

It is one of the reasons why humanity is so uniform, both in morphology and in behaviour. Without this event, there would be much more variations in body shape, intellect, etc.
Crows and rattlesnakes are so uniform both in morphology and in behaviour. Your point?
@@mutteringmale In humans there's a severe problem in having a too closely related DNA which causes morphology and behavior, makes it more often that recessive diseases and deformities appear.
There it is, the big lie the churches, who control all your normal bodily function and makes you pay for it, has told you.
The genetic diversity is only really applicable in small populations, very small. Bad genes then get passed around and there is a TINY bit of malformed genetic code.

If all the water vapor in the atmosphere were condensed and spread over the world's oceans, it would add 3.64 cm (1.43 inches) to the depth of the oceans. The average global ocean depth is roughly 370,000 cm. So the oceans contain 100,000 times as much water as the atmosphere.

We now know that Toba was more locally devastating than globally. While certain areas of humans nearly went extinct in many other places they were doing just fine.

If there was a highly advanced human civilization say Ramachandra was more advanced that we will be in 200 years failed to stop the caldera.
