A Neanderthal Perspective on Human Origins - 2014
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 жов 2014
- The Neanderthals are the closest extinct relatives of all present-day human and the Neanderthal genome sequence provides unique insights into modern humans origins. Svante Pääbo, a biologist and evolutionary anthropologist, describe the current understanding of the genetic contributions of Neanderthals to present-day humans and to extinct human groups. He also describes preliminary analyses of genomic features that appeared in present-day humans since their divergence from a common ancestor shared with Neanderthals and discusses how they may be functionally analyzed in the future. Pääbo is the Director of Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Recorded on 09/10/2014. [11/2014] [Show ID: 28720]

@Gaske Learsi correct English grammatical structure: “As am I.” It’s simply a more formal construction with which younger speakers of English are often not familiar. Notice how my follow up sentence avoids a dangling participle? That’s another example of formal English grammar one does not often hear anymore.

I have read some works of Paabo. I always tell everyone DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. There are tons of people who love to throw their opinions around as if they were facts. If you're an honest scientist or person, first thing you do is PROVIDE THE SOURCE OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE. If you say, for example, that bonobos and chimps cannot mix, where did you get that info?
Scientists like Paabo tell you clearly where and how they got their knowledge, and deserve respect. What he presents today may be superseded or improved tomorrow, but in the meantime he is doing his best and honest work.

i gave the readers where I got mu information. As you say, "do your own research." Research the Seminarian Tablets. There's a tone of information on UA-cam, a good place to start is with Graham Hancock. A rive to your own conclusion based on what you find.
Really, my comment was deleted?
Honesty Fenix: there is knowledge of experience. For years I always understood that mules are not fertile. Then on you tube ( in these programs ) I heard that the female mule can get pregnant (exceptions of course). I imagined farmers always knew of it, but who listens to yokels. The same story between Neanderthals and sapiens. I always read about archeology and anthropology and took this for granted. Now the story has changed-they met and procreated and their DNA appears in modern Italians and others (in Tuscany, 5%.. I wonder if the Renaissance in Tuscany was due to that. I am kidding of course but you never know. Science is beautiful and full of mysteries which are revealed at times by accident and takes everybody by surprivpse
You know that horny Neanderthal men scored alot of CroMagnon b*+ches!!!

A precious gift that is not to be taken away anymore. Thanks for uploading, UCTV.
cool, perhaps in the future we might find the DNA of other Hominids within the genes of present day Homo Sapiens.

We are a mixture to some degree.
YOOOOOO "Lo, there do I see the line of my people..." GREAT REFERENCE!!! Perfect topic for it too. Vikings vs. Cavemen is such a great concept, 13 Warriors is one of the most badass movies ever.
100 percent neanderthal... but no one believes me.
If indigenous populations of the Americas have been traced to Asia it would be very interesting to check if Aztecs, Incas, etc...have any Neanderthal genes.
Thanks very much to Dr. Paabo for sharing with the public at large. I've watched several of these videos and find them informative, easy to follow, and fascinating.

Very useful lecture for the lay person interested in science and trying to understand genetics. Confusion arises constantly when he calls Homo sapiens before mixing with other species "modern humans". I understand that the ones he is talking about are the original humans [Homo sapiens] and the mix of them with other ones outside of Africa resulted in "modern human".
no there were "modern humans" in Africa before mixing with other species.

You don't need lessons on morality to know right from wrong. You don't need lessons in the throes of empathy to understand how treating people respectfully is the right thing to do.
You force the prism of color and project it onto others as if it is the only possible truth. That is some un-empathetical cereal you're eating in front of everyone. You don't have to spit it up also; we see you. However I understand the natural gag reflex and would forgive you for not being able to contain such a gross non- self realizing point of reference.
You're living the forced narrative that you're preaching at others about. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
You make the dixiecrats proud!
No modern in other parts of the world until they spread out of Africa.
Not the other way round. Modern human = came out of Africa only.
This presentation is really terrific, in that it can be understood by a non-academic person like me. I have found Neanderthals interesting from my early adolescence when being different made me consider the bias against "being different". Early on I had compassion for theory expressing a bush progeneragion of human evolution, rather than a direct line from chimp to modern humans. Now, instead of just having a feeling that the "bush" makes more sense, than a "direct line" is made a reality by the additional information from DNA sequencing. Of course, more findings spur more questions. Thanks for all those who work for further understanding.

The speaker got a Nobel prize. Congratulations!
I read Dr. Elizabeth Kolbet book " The sixth extinction" on the Kindle last year and was really impressed. She mentions Dr. Svente Paabo and his research and genome sequencing, what a historical breakthrough. But now that I have seen him addressing, I really find him very smart eg. tall, gentlemanly and a genuine geneticist. I did also hear Dr.Elizabeth Kolbert lecture. But her book was more impressive because when you read all men who are mentioned carrying out the research have a mystery surrounding them. We are curious to know who these research scientists are, and when we hear them we are so much struck by their personalities/ opinions. Great work being carried out at the Max Plank institute in Evolutionary Anthropology and genetics.

Post und die anderen
Fascinating lecture with the just right amount of specific science for non- scientist to be interesting and comprehensive.
Probably one of the most interesting presentations on evolution from a genetic viewpoint. I look forward to hearing more. Denisovans and the late survival of Erectus seems to support paleo discoveries with hybrid traits. The contribution to medical science with the identification of genes responsible for disease or genetic mutations is just icing on the cake. Well done.
Yes, and don't forget organs transplant rejection caused by protein tied to some genes acquired or not squired from Neanderthal or other early hominids. Note how this is verified with Africans who do not have Neantherdal, Denisovan or out of africa Erectus gene. Add to that the admission that species is a human construct and no valid definition of it exist. Then it's clear Africans are the most remote of human groups. If you listen carefully to the parts on neurons and proteins inherited from Neantherdal, there is a biological cause behind certain form of human intelligence tied to cognitive skills not found among other apes and found at lower levels in africans who do not have neanderthal genes. Reality disagrees with the politically correct. Racism is not a pejorative distinction or prejudice, it is the admission of these differences backed by reality. Racism does not preclude prejudice. Recognizing differences in abilities is not a prejudice. Putting people in a situation where that difference affects their lives is a prejudice. You cannot expect both groups to perform the same which is why every group deserves to live in its own adapted environment and not in a mixed society.
Very good video. This should be interesting to creationists but they keep their fingers in their ears.
@@goognamgoognw6637 I much prefer living in a mixed society. Life is so much richer in every way. I grew up in a very white bread environment and while it was comfortable and pleasant -- for me -- I've experienced so much more throughout life in more diverse surroundings. In the words of an old song, "I wouldn't trade nothing for my journey now."
@@kathleenmckenzie6261 your post sounds like a product review in a consumerism society. Melting pots are destructive of group identity and cultures. Usa is the perfect example, no culture but consumerism, people live in a constant clash between communities that hate each other and it's nobody's fault, only the natural course when different incompatible groups are forced to live together. Then a ruling pseudo elite minority takes advantage of the situation for themselves by trying to blame one group for the ineptitude of the other which is pure evolutionary conflict. Put hyenas with lions and expect them to live in one society, they will always be apart.
No, vibrant culture countries with a strong identity and trust among people are homogeneous. If you were bored by your white upbringing it's because they already had lost their european roots.
@@goognamgoognw6637 I like to think my experience trumps your opinion, however reasoned it may be.
Not everyone in the USA participates in "rampant consumerism." There is no single culture; there are many cultures. Just as most major religions teach some aspects of forgiveness and compassion, so most cultures share some positive traits. We love our children and want the best for them. We value family ties. We all develop rites and celebrations marking the seasons of life.
Over the long haul of history, cultures and ethnicities have met, clashed, and eventually come to some accommodation with each other. At right around 250 years old, I like to think the USA is still learning and growing. We're in a rough patch right now, but I like to think, as Abraham Lincoln once said, the angels of our better nature will prevail. That is what I continue to work toward.
At last I get a really good explanation of this. Now I want to catch up with the research from the last 6 years.
By the Numbers...Read THE BOOK OF ENOCH and you will have an even better understanding.

It's a more interesting lecture than a movie. If further studies of the Homo erectus gene in Africa and Asia are conducted, more information about the origins of mankind will be available.
I wonder if Neanderthal genetic’s predisposition to type 2 diabetes made no difference until farming created high carbohydrate diets. If Neanderthals were essentially on the Aitkins’s diet (meat and fat), then they would not tend towards high sugar obesity and therefor genetically not at risk .... until 10,000 years ago when farming changed diets. A clue would be analyzing 10,000 year old human bones to see if the Neanderthal genetic contribution shifted away from the diabetes markers since then but not before.
I also wonder why the bulging torso? Either ability to gorge themselves when they had killed a horse to tide them over for a couple weeks with no food. Or is it for warmth (increased volume to surface area ratio for holding heat longer). The pigmentation is logically beneficial for vitamin D (critical for immune system). The hyperactive immune system may have compensated for lowered immune response due to breathing cold aiir. But now it increases likelihood of cytokine storm reaction to covid.
But they were hunter gatherers
What an amazing lecture. I am going to watch it again and this time with pen and paper to take notes :)
I found the difference on the spine curvature angle fascinating that Neantherdal had more straight spines, and neanderthal genes are present in europeans but not in africans. This can be observed directly on the anatomy of africans, their butts always stick out because of the increased curvature angle. It does not matter if thin or fat, child or old, male or female, this is universally noticeable in all Africans and it confirms the research. It's an untold reality. The question of the function of a more curved spine has been tied to the ability to climb trees and jump higher. This explains basketball.
Also africans are better runners because they're better fit to not overheat. Look at the olympics.
goognam goognws Get info off line.
African Homo Sapiens, apparently, were the sexiest hominids on the planet. They interbred with all of the other hominids until everyone was a homo sapien.
No asshole
@@thomasjackson2223 no, it becomes evident that homo sapiens is an artificial language construct and that those who stayed in africa (africans) and did not mix with at least 4 other hominids : neanderthal, denisovan, out of africa homo erectus and the 4th mysterious one mentioned in this lecture, are missing proteins tied to neural network development, cognitive functions. When added together the genome of neanderthal present in out of africa population today (not africans) is at least 20% of the neanderthal genome, he said possibly 40% (altough all of it never present at the same time in a single individual). That clearly establishes a huge difference between europeans + asians and africans. Add to this that species is an artificial construct and we should be talking about different modern hominids when comparing africans to non africans. As this research advances i am sure one day we will, when people are ready to admit that racism is not inherently pejorative, only what you make of it matters. If racism was pejorative we would 'a forciori' eradicate all other species on earth but we don't, we recognize the need for different natural habitats for different species, so they may all thrive. This is the positive way to embrace racism. The negative way is what we are doing forcing them to live together in a melting pot in the habitat molded by the dominant hominid that will always favor one at the expense of the other. Furthermore it is better to keep pockets of highly differentiated hominids than to try to homogenize it all in a globalized habitat.

Around 1:03 a woman brought up the therory of Neandertal technology, I wasn't to keen on Svante's response. Neandertal community had it's creative evolution just as Cro Magnon or how did they flint spear heads and cutting tools or tan animal hides for clothing. I have a feeling Neandertal population started dwindling, therefore less creative individuals.
1 oh 3 it's still in the introduction?!
The Neanderthals not only invented the spearhead, they invented clothing, waterproofing of clothing, the first industrial strength adhesive, and possibly even written language. Our Neanderthal cousins were no idiots. The Mousterian represents the first higher culture of human beings and represents a true breaking away from Homo erectus.
You’re applying cultural relativism with your rose tinted glasses. There is very little evidence that Neanderthals were smart enough to have a technological revolution
I have a feeling they got wiped out by a flood.
Question: So is the Kalahari Bushman Pygmy Tribe considered a different species from the Watusi?
Species or race is a matter of semantics completely subjective. Theres lots of species of animals that can successfully breed with no negative effects some actual positive effects.
@@danielfinch362 Although the scientific definition of species is complex, and for many animals it is also often difficult and complex for scientists to decide where to draw the line (between species; between different subspecies of a species; and between a species and a subspecies)... it is NOT just "semantics completely subjective" that human beings are all one species. There are ZERO reputable expert scientists who would say that any "tribe" of human beings is a different species from another "tribe"! That we are all one species is neither subjective nor a mere matter of semantics. (Except: a subjective person could deny that accepted scientific truth, and "semantic" means "about the meaning of words". And yes, Pääbo dodges the question about Neanderthals and modern humans. But he would not do so about two groups of modern humans!
no, no group or "tribe" of modern human beings is of a different species from any other living human group or "tribe"! We are all one species. (and Pääbo would agree despite his little dodge about Neanderthals and modern human)
@@jsbrules prove it
I carry 53 variants of EPAS1 with 263 Neanderthal variants, and when I trained for swimming in 3 months I could swim 100 meters underwater and the result was I had twice the normal blood solids, except I am Scandinavian, so I guess there was a lot of hanky panky everywhere back in the day...

Please say you aren’t an organ donor! Haha, seriously. Don’t… say it
😳 And I thought my 27 meters underwater..Without training was quite fantastic. Im Swedish. 😁
dr is brilliant
I was always taught that the best definition of speciation is when the 2 variants can no longer mate and produce viable offspring. So in order to be different "species" then Homo Sapiens and Neanderthal would not be able to interbreed, which we now know was not the case, as is with the Denisovans also. The divergence is thought to have had to occur more than 1 million years for that to happen with primates, this is what I learned in my evolutionary bioloogy courses in college. So according to that set of criteria, Neanderthals and Denisovans, and even other hominid variants may have all been the same species, just different variants, which eventually interbred to produce what we today know as modern humans, but since none diverged more than 1 mil years before, and they could interbreed, by those standards they would be considered the same species. I don't know if they have moved those goalposts since I earned my degree in 1997. But that's what they taught us back then..
Brian V lions and tigers can reproduce.
Hence the scientific communities hypocrisy on defining "speciation".
"species" is purely a constructed concept. We can happily make claims about whether or not different dinosaurs, for example, are the same or different species, without knowing whether they can reproduce, using the morphological species concept. Plenty of plant species can successfully hybridize. At the end of the day, the species of an organism is nothing more than an admittedly extremely useful way of sorting life into categories which are entirely decided by people.
I agree on best definition of species as you mention it but remember the case of circumpolar seagulls able to interbreed with neighboring populations and unable to do so where the ends "meet" and the impact of gene drift is greatest, at the strait of Bering (or was it the North Atlantic?) So even this classical definition of species sometimes failed! But that's Ok! Life and evolution are richer than our understanding of them! 🇨🇷
Depends if you're a lumper or a splitter
What about the impact of female pelvic shape in relation to skull shape on reproductive success in interbreeding situations between humans and Neanderthals?
This! I have been arguing this for years!!!
Please explain.
@@bigsmiler5101
Sure.
The pelvis of the human female has evoved so the fetus can fit throuth the birth canal at the end of pregnancy. Evolution is particularly complicateted when dealing with with both cross species and and single species offspring.
@@GoodnightJLH Yes, I figured most of that, but are you asking whether a half-Neandertal baby can fit through the human mother's pelvis? What do we know of Neandertal infants--there are virtually no skeletons since newborn skulls rarely, if ever, exist from any animal species. Too soft.
White women have a larger pelvis than black women and after much research I found only human women could reproduce hybrid babies not the human men and neaderthal women so it makes sense after watching this lecture....
as type II diabetes only occurs in the elderly, and we only see it now because we live 3-4x as long as we used to, there's a good argument for genetic drift, as well.

Hm... The big question is a Human's language's origin and the potential from. How to say - "Hey - we others..!" How much it must be visible?
Its so curious how we all watched the same video, and people take such vastly different ideas and information from it.
I like your point of view Heather :)!
Any relation to the very talented 30 s actor harold huber ?
I think people kind of believe what they want to believe, and what they see or hear, serves their desires.
My grandfather used to say "if everybody liked the same thing, they would all be after your grandmother"
People are people. We're all different, but we're all people. I believe so called "Neandethals" were people, no different than we are as people. Some people because of the difference they tried to make and taught about them in relation to the 'evolutionary' origins of people, would like to differentiate themselves from their earlier characterisation. Now that they found some of their forefathers were dipping in the Neanderthal poonahnny, the narrative begins to change..
Since Neanderthal DNA is showing up in the genealogy, evidence of some mixing/sexing between them and "more evolved" humans. I notice more scientific articles on the benefits, of Neanderthal "genes" and how it made those who inherited them better humans.

Neanderthal genetics - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics
Interbreeding with modern humans. It is suggested that 20 percent of Neanderthal DNA survived in modern humans, notably expressed in the skin, hair and diseases of modern people. Modern human genes involved in making keratin-the protein found in skin, hair, and nails-have specially high levels of Neanderthal DNA.
Very informative ! Thanks

@@ivancarrasquillo4577 I did not know that . . thanks!
Thank you for sharing.
Exciting! Can someone RANDOMLY inherit a bigger chunk of Neanderthal genes than average for the surrounding folk?? How often? How big a chunk? Any phenotype hints?.. Just asking 🤗 Thank you.
@Rafael Ernesto Rosabal - Are you suggesting that an individual could inherit MORE Neanderthal genes than either of their parents had? How is that possible?
That introductory speaker's pronunciation of German words is excellent for a non-native German speaker.
Lived and worked in Munich and Leipzig for many years.
@@gibbogle That makes sense.
Thanks for the excellent presentation given in a superb style. On the question as to why neanderthal did not have much progress in 300K years while humans had a lot in just 100K I think you gave the answer yourself - during those 300K years, at any given time there were just a few neanderthals living in small groups separated by great distances. Modern man started to make fast progress after some critical population mass had been reached. Maybe neanderthals had low fertility rates? This would explain why testical dns had been selected out of our genome.

This man lives in a very exciting world… fascinating !
A debt of gratitude should be expressed to our simian ancestors...family units...hunting...even tools!
For some reason this made me think of the movie,"The Secret of NIMH," and it's sequel, where mice are made too intelligent.
Also in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy!
Re: Answer to first question, Neadedthal had 400,000 years.
The speculation is our agricultural revolution was only possible because of an unusually stable climate starting 10,000 years ago.
Climate conditions may explain why Neanderthal didn't advance farther in technology.
does anybody have a good source on what the genetic evidence for admixture from erectus in east asia is, at this point?
it looks like markers, but nothing solid. yet. it's there...
Did I just hear him say, Johansson? As he was speaking of Lucy? And Scarlet Johansson played Lucy in that movie. It’s no coincidence.
About some ancestors having a huge (50%) amount of neanderthal genome, and their descendants having 1.5% nowadays, which may still seem to be quite much, considering thousands of years passed: genome is not an indifferent soup of genes - different genes, as I think, correlate, group and gather into different structures in different places in genome(s). This happens each time a new offspring is created. The point is, that the 1.5% was really usefull, or was located/related to regions vital for surviwal of "the mixbreed", so the genes were not removed nor dissolved into this hard to recognize and indifferent soup... the so-called trash DNA, which parts of our genome seems to consist of.
LMAO “our” you mean white ppl or “Caucasoid” …Chile anyways 😭😭😭
Every person outside Africa has Neanderthals bro
You have only to read some of these comments to know why aliens find us so unworthy of visitation.
excuse me? makes more sence than everything came from nothing.
Like yours?
Perhaps the distance to travel here and the energy it would take and little or no chance of a return home might have made Aliens not wanting to visit you, I'm content without any Aliens.

Shitty idea
7:26... The rib cages are so different. Makes me wonder what resulted when they interbred.
Maybe one species had already switched to an "all protein" diet before the other, thereby negating the need for a large stomach and organs required to digest a primarily vegetarian diet. No more need for a large rib cage.
@@tonkatoytruck bingo! 👌humans area great example of when plants were left behind for more nutritious animals! We also needed to support an increase in brain size as it needed so much more priority, energy demands wise. It makes immense sense that we fed on fat and meats to do just that.
@@tonkatoytruck oh and bone marrow, blood and organ meats were prized as well and highly nutritious. All protein isnt a good thing. Look up rabbit starvation. When you look at calories, a nice Ribeye is 70% fat calories and 30% protein.
@@dana102083 Too much of anything is bad. But, I thought that was understood.
The concept of uniformitarianism is a noble observation of nature. What I've seen in the Pacific Northwest says big flood to my eyes. By big flood I mean millions of cubic miles of water being changed from ice to water. That happened very quickly and left its tracks on earth as do the elk.
It did indeed. The Lake Missoula floods alone would have inspired flood myths and did among your people. Go in peace my red brother.
Yes good presentation of findings. Well done research.
Not exactly. He intentionally ignored THE BOOK OF ENOCH that tells EXACTLY where the giants, nephalim, and Neanderthal come from.
@@EdenSophia118 and tells you all about demons. Very helpful-- to God-botherers, but not to scientists.
Colonization... this session gave me some interesting ideas about colonization in general. I suppose the Neanderthals would have a stone axe to grind.
Absolutely 👍💯 %Trith
And what happened to the Cro-Magnon people? They lived in Europe 4OO OOO - 37 OOO years ago. I believed they were the European population ancestors, they looked like modern Europeans and they lived with Neanderthals.
Cro-Magnon is an early European modern human living 48 T to 15T years ago.
It is appearing more likely as time goes by that the Neanderthals were likely absorbed by the people science used to refer to as the Cro Magnons. The Cro Magnons seem to have originated somewhere in the Caucasus, where the bulk of interbreeding between Neanderthals and Cro Magnons occurred. They were both likely mammoth steppe hunters in that region. The actual Cro Magnons, per se, originated in the Caucasus and probably travelled into the European interior to escape the terrible end of the Last Ice Age.
I think that the title could have been reworded to better reflect the content of the video. One change I'd make would be to include the word "lecture".
I thought the talk was worth while… but then the Q&A kicked off with… an actual Neanderthal???!!! My favorite real cartoon voice ever! Omg who WAS THAT?! Needs to be a Venture Bros character. How did the professor (and everyone else) maintain their composure?! I would have 100% died laughing if i had been there.
That must have been one steamy cave!
@The Truth about Africa hurts I am guessing you have some maturing to do.
@@Aluminata 😂
Do you think they had the capability to modify genes way back then and that's how we get modern humans?
The MOST HIGH YAHUAH made modern humans. When you read the BOOK OF ENOCH, you will see variations. Also, in this book it will show you where the Neanderthals truly come from.
Absolutely.

I have Asperger's syndrome, I understand myself better when i learn about Neanderthals. I am 5'6 I have a sloping forehead and my head is bigger than normal size pretty much like scaphocephaly. And I share behaviors that remind me that of gorilla behaviour.

When will dna results be available on giants?
:D
Loyd Pye's "Genetic Intervention" shedsa light on who created us and when!
Undergraduate walks into lab one day and hears, "Hi John."
Only cages of mice are present.
There is a wealth of information presented here. Still, this is a lecture from 2014--- six years ago to date. How much more do we know now?
I am 100% Eurasian with all historical heritage in Europe. Still, genomic analysis reveals I am 2.7% Neandertal and 2.5% Denisovan. My Y-chromosome is Proto-European and my mtDNA is Central Asian (Europid). This information suggests a deep heritage in Siberia.
I posit that Europeans will be shown (if they have not already) to possess considerably more Denisovan DNA than this lecture indicates.
He ignored the BOOK OF ENOCH that tells EXACTLY where the giants, nephalim and Neanderthal (Denisovan) come from. All of the giants were not the same. This may perhaps caused the variations.
Lord hanuman was neendarthal
Europeans did not come out of Africa! That much seems certain now
@@benjaminollis7621 Europeans are descended from the last group of sapiens/neanderthal hybrids to migrate out of the Levant. Unlike previous groups, that group went north and crossed the Caucusus, becoming isolated in Eurasia. Of those, some migrated east to become the East Asians. Others migrated west to become the Europeans, or more precisely, the Great Europid group.
@@EdenSophia118 Neanderthal's were, on average, shorter than us modern humans. Unless your definition of "Giant" mean's shorter, you need to put down your book of fables.
There used to be dominate life forms of one celled animals, dinosaurs, Lucy, mammoths, Cro-magnon ... Are we fascinated with Neanderthals because we see our future in their bones?
1. For this man's sake, I hope someone pointed out the stereotyping nature of his Neanderthal "jokes" re: men and women.
2. Since this man spoke, cave paintings done by Neanderthals have been found - they DID do art.
3. There seems to be more known today of physical traits and medical conditions from the Neanderthal DNA contributions. Very interesting - look it up!
