    A bit of comic relief about 17:08 "the stone tools that they created were simple and crude". My college history department had a summer 'practical archeology' course excavating flint knapping areas, with a display case of beautifully made, knapped arrowheads/blades, along with the knapping cores and chips they had collected.
    On the bottom shelf was a display of broken and cracked rocks, showing the BEST results of prior student's extra-credit attempts to actually MAKE a stone arrowhead by knapping stone.
    So, it helps to remember that 99 out of 100 university students could not replicate those "primitive" tools...

    Kayleigh, you may NOT be a credentialed paleontologist or physical anthropologist, but you ARE a most excellent scholar and a very engaging teacher. You don't pretend to know more than you do, but you conduct vigorous research, collate the information you collect, and organize it for dissemination. You then accurately and concisely present what you have learned, emphasizing the points which are most critical, which you find most interesting, and/or which you think your audience will find most interesting or useful. You are an AMAZING scholar, and one of the finest conveyors of interesting information concerning human history, prehistory, and cultural, on UA-cam (I know -- I've looked around). If you continue on your current scholarly trajectory I predict you will one day have a half-million subscribers, or more, and will probably lead a small team to create content for your channel. Keep it up -- you don't need a PhD in Anthropology or History to be a great teacher; you just need discipline, humility, persistence, enthusiasm, and a desire to share and grow. You seem to have all of this in ample quantity. Again, you are an EXCELLENT scholar and teacher! Well done!

      I agree. There's nothing in definitions of "scholar" I've seen that requires a degree. The main point is a great deal of knowledge/expertise. IMO, much more important than papers and certificates for the true spirit of scholarship is a joyous excitement about the quest for more knowledge, which Kayleigh displays in abundance. That said, it's fair for Kayleigh to recognize those who've studied more than she has, and admirable for her to show some humility. That's part of her charm; we get to learn more as she does. A know-it-all braggart would be no fun at all. So, as MF said: "Well done!"

      @@lobotiggre6432 There's nothing in the term academic/academia that requires a degree or doctorate either.
      They are just mainly helpful for eliciting funding from rich people who like to see titles behind a name that they are investing in, and also showing that to an extent you have been through the peer review ringer that most academics look to as the gold standard for respectable work in any given field.
      The kind of people that loudly shout that they have found x, y or z from the rooftops without laying out their material evidence for peer review first are the kind you need to be wary of - these are the kind of people looking for attention and money rather than truth.
      Kayleigh clearly studies the material well and cites sources freely, often calling attention to limitations in the source material where they exist - this is the mark of a good scholar.

    KayLeigh, You show more scholarship and scholarly traits than many who have the degrees, but have lost the hunger for knowledge you radiate. You teach in the Ancient Greek tradition. Though Damn the Internet is a very long Log. Sorry When you discount your skills or value, somebody from the cheap seats has to correct your only serious fault. Being an Ocean away from Harvard or M.I.T. just keeps you out of our nasty winters, away from our terrible drivers, and out of our dirty subways. Of course , it denies us a beauty greater than our Boston Common and Public Garden combined, but one cannot have everything. This is the Age of the Internet. We can get all your cold facts by the ton. You give use ideas and learning lit by your love of it and your brilliant understanding. Your details are sifted like gold bearing sands, but it is the tapestry of facts, details and tales which makes your work uniquely come alive. God cherish and bless you.

    Thank you again for another other wonderful addition to discussion about our ancestors! 🙂
    I wonder if you have done Peking Man yet? That is interesting story, and also very sad since all the samples were lost because of war. I always find it fascinating how H. Erectus spread so very very far so early. ... but, I forget, and don't remember if Peking Man is H. Erectus, or ... something else ... an off-shoot like Hobbit? Whatever, H. Erectus was a kinda the first great explorer.
    Another fun, and controversial debate, I think, that comes much much later (already modern human) is the arguments about how people got to the Americas; boats, landbridge, or both, or attack helicopters, or what?
    Also, also, even though it is not human ancestor, it might also also be fun to look at chimpanzee, and especially how the cimpanzee memory works. I mention it before, but, look up "Are you smarter than a chimpanzee", and be amazed at how chimpanzee can remember much much much more detail in brief little flash of short time that is impossible for us to do ... and how that "flash" memory might have implication about the way some of our ancestors mighta mebbe process things, like, for instance, being able to go into cave without fire, and just use quick spark of flint to "see" everything, remember all the details, and move, and then only strike spark again when new area and new picture is needed. I think this might mebbe be part of answer to explain how we do not see much carbon build up on roof of cave places we have evidence of ancient ancestors visiting over long time ... or maybe ceiling soot is just not preserved very well. I don't know. I get ideas. My ideas might be wrong, but, that's ok. It is important to be curious and ask questions, even silly ones, yes? 🙃

      As far as we know, humankind didn't invent graphic representations of speech until a few millennia ago. It seems reasonable to say that for almost all the rest of our evolution (even after the invention of writing, while most people still remained illiterate) human beings committed most of their knowledge to memory and that is what mostly brought us to the present. Remembering in detail what you have seen for just seconds may well be another manifestation of the same need to store knowledge.

      That's the reason why this field of study has already thrown away so many boxes, some of them reluctantly. And I guess they'll keep throwing some others away too.
      We are talking about 2 million years of evolution of the genus homo approximately, but we have so very few remains for such a long period. And they don't come from so many places, even if we have colonized the whole planet. This always makes me wonder how different our conclusions would be if it was ever possible to have a really representative sample of, at least, each subspecies (or lineage) of homo (and if we really knew how many they are), showing what difference it makes to live in different climates, to have access to different food resources, and so on. Who knows what else is still hidden out there, and where. We'll probably never know, although we'll surely discover some more.
      This is the way I, absolutely a non expert, think of these discoveries. Not expecting to revolutionize science with my ideas, I'm just saying!

    Wow, I am hooked. Young lady, you tell an excellent story. Question marks where they need to be. I have a lot of "Educated" friends that are dry as attic cardboard and just about as useful. ;P

    Amazing how you know so much information and put it together for us. You must spend a lot of your time on research. Much respect.
