Neanderthal Misconceptions Explained

- A list of misconceptions surrounding Neanderthals and have all these misconceptions cleared up in one easy to share video!
The first misconception is that Neanderthals were dumb cave dwelling brutes.
There is more than sufficient evidence at this point in time that Neanderthals were intelligent, not just a little bit intelligent but equally as smart as us, modern humans.
There are a lot of misconceptions about what Neanderthals looked like, this has several reasons.
Like for instance the first reconstruction and thus depiction of a Neanderthal was created by French Palaeontologist Marcellin Boule in 1911.
This reconstruction was created after the discovery of the remains of a Neanderthal male at La Chapelle-aux Saints 1 cave.
The remains were approximately 60,000 years old and the Neanderthal male was estimated to be around 40 years of age.
You can see that the reconstruction depicts the Neanderthal male to be slouched, hunched, with bent knees, a straight lumbar spine, large protruding skull and brutish.
Because the curvature of the lumbar spine was missing in this Neanderthal individual it was immediately believed that all Neanderthals would have the same straight spine and terrible posture that was hunched back and therefore It was believed that Neanderthals were semi-bipedal.
Therefore the researchers back in the day believed that Neanderthals hadn’t fully evolved much like we did from the Great apes that we all came from.
Marcellin Boule then went on to further characterize the species of the Neanderthals as primitive creatures, creatures that had no similarities and relations to the anatomy of Homo sapiens, modern humans.
But what he didn’t realize at the time when he made this reconstruction is the fact that the skeletal remains that he was reconstructing belonged to an old male Neanderthal, and most likely one with a spinal deformity as it now seems that the shape of his particular spine was extremely uncommon among the Neanderthals.
The deformity came from the fact that this particular Neanderthal male had osteoarthritis, this is when the cartilage in the joints wear down in a more rapid rate or have been worn off completely, the lack of cartilage can cause the bone of the joint to thicken and move less smoothly.
So after we have discovered more and more Neanderthal skeletal remains we can clearly see that their anatomy is very similar to that of us modern humans, that they stood upright, no bent knees and fully bipedal.

I actually feel sad when I think about Neanderthals. They were our cousins. They were us but different. We outcompeted them and we talk 💩 about them: “you’re acting like a Neanderthal! Have some civility!” But they spoke, buried their dead, cared for their sick and most of us wouldn’t be here if not for our great, great, great x 1000 grandma who was a Neanderthal. They are just like us, but with slightly different anatomy and skills. Imagine what life would be like if they were still here!
We didn’t outcompete them. They were purposely wiped out.
@@astra6712 who purposely wiped them out?
@@anthonyproffitt5341 if we have a look at how sparse the Homo Sapien population has been up until the industrial revolution populations were mostly rural. Few urban centres existed with the exception of old Roman cities in Europe for example.
If we take into account H. Neanderthalis, H. Habilis, H. Naledi, H. Floresiensis, H. Erectus, Denisovan and Cro Magnon that’s a very vast distance to ‘outcompete’. Pockets on Flores or Philippines wouldn’t have died out around the same time as mainland Asia or European populations. And if Homo Sapiens did manage to outcompete all of those species then why do so many H. Sapien Sapien cultures remain? If the method of outcompeting was so successful then there shouldn’t be so many cultures and especially the Australian aborigines should’ve probably died out along with the other isolated species on Flores and Philippines which are in the Asia pacific region.
There’s too much mystery for this to make any sense.
They were not just our cousins, they were our ancestors as well. We have Neanderthal DNA, we have Neanderthals in our lineage.
@@astra6712 unlikely since there was no human organization capable of purposely wiping them out. Homo sapien was organized in groups that were dozens to hundreds strong. A few dozen or hundred people cannot commit to a continent wide or global genocide especially with stone age technology.
Almost certainly Neanderthal went extinct due to a multitude of different factors, which does include both conflict and probably intentional exterminations by homo sapien in specific regions and times.
But considering the amount of genetic information we acquired from them, it was likely we interacted on friendly and peaceful terms with them as well.
Hey Klee! Cause of Naledi, now you're a bona fide Rock Star! 😊 As in Rocks, Stones, Bones, and Pebbles 😅 Many of us are very proud of you! 🎉
This comment rocks lol 😂
Kayleigh, I love your thoroughness, attention to detail, accuracy, documentation, and chronically upbeat delivery.
I also appreciate your willingness to speculate, while being careful to let us know what is agreed-upon fact, consensus but still debated, and what is definitely speculative.
Kayleigh,I love your videos! And I love the way you look as well! Your so beautiful and Uber intelligent!! I also noticed your hands and your fingernails.Your hands look large and your fingers appear to be long and slender! Everything about you is perfect!! Can you tell I have a small crush on you!! Ok thank you for all your hard work,and attention to detail!! My name is Jason Stein...Love you Kayleigh...
@@jasonstein5559 You didn't mention the tig bitties
Can't wait for the video to premiere! Thank you for your work, Kayleigh. Your interview with Lee Berger was phenomenal!
It’s retro sunday with Kayleigh! The blue back drop. The table and the sign board. The sketchy sound. Even the knickknacks. And a tried and true topic. Carry on! You can’t beat the drum enough for the equality of people, then and now.

Hey Fox! Hope you’re having a good weekend.
@@barrywalser2384
Just engaging in my usual inappropriate behaviour and having FUN.
How about you.
Over
@@vulpesvulpes5177 Haha! As long as you’re having fun.
It’s a cloudy, rainy day. I’m just relaxing. Back at it tomorrow.
You were describing to a T ,how cave men were portrayed in movies when I was young. Glad we have made discoveries to dispel that image. Well done as usual, Kayleigh.
Can't believe I missed this live... Oh, well til the next one. BTW, you just got a subscriber. Love you & your content.❤
I always look forward to your videos. Thank you again!
Another fantastic video Kayleigh! I really hope this video helps to shift the misconception of Neanderthals as being sluggish, stupid and brutish race to instead viewing them as a true “people”. A people that we may have actually learned from, who’s genes we carry on to this day, and who we shared this planet, with for most very existence.
You are a fantastic teacher! Teaching my 2 granddaughters your song, they love it.
Kayleigh, I am much older than you and find how our perceptions of the Neanderthal have changed over the years fascinating! Like you said, from hunched over apelike brutes to our modern perception of people like us, but more primitive. We modern humans stand on the shoulders of all the species that preceded us and should be grateful to them.
Same here. In my 70 years, I have seen Neanderthals go from being considered little more than dumb brutes to being considered as smart as humans. We now know that they were sensitive, intelligent, empathetic people who cared for their vulnerable group members, in many cases buried their dead, buit structures and even left cave paintings behind. I'm glad a little of them ives on inside me.
Neardentals were much smarter than humans today, because they interbreed with God only knows how many other human subspecies not as smart.
We are a mixture of smart and dumb subspecies. Smarter than the dumbest but more stupid than the smartest subspecies that our great great grandparents belonged to!
There's a lot that we don't know about the species that surrounded us when we were evolving. I don't think we'd be as far as we are today if we didn't commingle and I still hold the belief that Neanderthal taught Homosapien how to control fire. I'm relatively new to your opinion on the other species that walk there at the time but thank you very much for putting all this information out there, you can't get it from the History channel anymore!
It suggests that if modern humans and Neanderthals were equal in so many ways, then their common ancestor was also intelligent. Maybe there's still another unknown humanoid species that developed intelligence earlier than we think.
The discovery & reconstruction by the French Paleontologist did demonstrate that Neanderthals cared for the sick & elderly, which means they traveled in bands/tribes or extended family groups.
You're the best, Kayleigh! Love your videos!
To be fair I know a number of 'modern humans' who seem incapable of organizing their personal living space.
😂😂😂😂😂👍
A large part of the human population seems to be incapable of building societies they themselves want to live in.
Oh I'm one of those.
🤣👍
jingle, jingle! made it just in time😅
Neanderthals had many, if not all, of the attributes of Sapiens. and, possibly, gave our direct ancestors some tips on survival in the areas where they met. they had already survived many millenia before we came along. that, in itself, is a huge sign of their intelligence and resourcefulness. they created art, music, a tool kit for their specific needs, clothing, rope, glue...and more, i'm sure. definitely our close cousins. give them the credit they are due......not brutes, sophisticated humans!
great show, Kayleigh! even with the sound problem. missed your sparkling chat, tho😢 must be busy with very important concerns....hope you are well!?!? stuck in traffic, perhaps😭🙃 see you live next week!?! goie nacht, mein witte wieven😘
Hey Floyd! Glad you made it to the chat! Yes, the Neanderthals survived thousands of years. They were perfectly adapted to their world. We should never discount their intelligence. Stay lucky my friend!
@@barrywalser2384 yeah, thanks Barry! was even harder to chat, tho, with the sound prob i had to pay more attention to get the gist. but, was good to say howdy to everyone🙂
@@floydriebe4755 The sound will be fine in the next one. I liked your comment in the chat. Something like, Neanderthals are people too.
@@barrywalser2384 aye, i sometimes have good stuff, i guess. it kinda burns me up when folks refuse to acknowledge their humanity. Homo = human in Latin so, basically, all the species, or lineages, if you will, with Homo in their names, ARE human. just less evolved than modern Sapiens. Cro Magnon is not separate from Homo Sapiens. they were just earlier examples of us, not quite as evolved; we are still evolving and will continue to do so until we either become "perfect" or reach our own demise😱 or, are assimilated into the next Homo version. i could go on and on and on.........but, i will sign off now. gonna try to get my kayak wet before the afternoon showers! later, dude👍👋
And Barry wins the lead boomerang! They were people. We are people. By now it’s obvious that there was considerable interbreeding. We don’t interbreed with chimpanzees….the chromosome count is off…though I’m sure some drunk sailor might have tried that once.
We have interbred with just about every species or race of people…call it what you will… down through time. Their traces are captured in our DNA.
So to deny their humanity is to question our own. Beyond that how they lived, how they stood, all that is quibbles around the single point of our genetic record.
Fox out
This video totally changes my perspective about neanderthals! Thinking about neanderthals used to make me so scared at night, as I believed misconceptions that they were scary apes. It's enlightening to learn that they were a lot more like us than I previously thought.
Kayleigh your videos are so interesting, thank you for making them. Please write a book, your book is needed!
You have become my new favorite educational instructor on such matters of prerecorded history. The methods that you explain yourself along with your mannerisms is extraordinarily inviting into your world. I’ve never financially supported any content providers in the past but want to with you to support your passion for truth. I hope to one day get to participate in conversations with you. Let’s see how that goes .
Your videos are always great, insightful and well thought out.
as a fiber artist who spins wool, I was thrilled to learn that Neanderthals were able to make fibers out of plant materials and spin this into string and twine.
I have been watching many of your videos and your work has added to my understandings. As an armateur historian I appreciate all your efforts. You are a lightbulb to and for humanity. Love to you.
Armature, armchair, toMAYto, toMAHto.
Oops..... thanks for pointing out my mistake.......
I really enjoyed your video, in the future would it be possible to show a picture of what they actually looked like . Thank you
Thank you for grouping the misconceptions into one video. I am amazed at all the hard work you put into your videos. They are all well researched.
Thank you for another educational video Kayleigh.
Really enjoyed this video ,good to see you back ,,🎉🎉
I always upload once a week, I'm sure you've missed a few if you think I've been away 🙂
I never really disappear 😂😆
while this is a great video, and i love everything ive seen so far with your other videos, the sound quality i think will really hurt your metrics of viewing. if you can get the audip bumped up ( most video editing software can do this) it would help a bit
I’m curious if you read any of Jean M Auals books especially Clan of the Cave Bear? Although it’s all fictional, She claims to have worked with or read the works of the various experts of the time which would span from the 1960s to 1990s. If you did read her books, even if we add a time compression for when things would have happened, how close do you think she got to a possible reality?
Great question! I often ask it myself. My own amateurish thinking on a potential answer tends to follow the work of the archaeologists I'm familiar with. I used to think Neanderthals were much more vocal and even musical than JAM writes them as being like, and also that they were incapable of forming concepts of the supernatural, a POV informed by theories of Steven Mithen, who argues that they had a sophisticated 'Swiss Army Knife ' type mind made up of specialised intelligences but couldn't mix the knowledge in them to form composite concepts like the supernatural (a mix of knowledge of living beings with characteristics of non-living entities like more durable rocks to produce idea of eternal gods, eg). According to Mithen, it wasn't until a biological mutation in Sapiens that led to a transition from Neanderthal-like fixed and holistic musical phrase-based communication to the modern type of compositional language based on words and grammar that there was a shift from their Swiss Army minds to our 'cognitively fluid' minds capable of supernatural concepts. I actually don't think this anymore, mainly due to the ideas of David Deutsch and his references to research into ape meme replication done by Richard Byrne. Long story short, it suggests that human creativity emerged much earlier than Sapiens, possibly with Erectus or thereabouts. Mithen himself now acknowledges this, citing and correcting Chomsky's recursion-enabling Merge operation within the brain as being the bio-mutation that allowed for human creativity and the development of the pre-compositional musical language of pre-Sapiens hominins, which was later succeeded by the INVENTION (not the mutation) of modern compositional language. So, whilst still being more musical than JAM portrays them as, I now believe she may not have been so wrong about their capacity for supernatural thought, eg. I just think that most of their innovative thinking ended up not being able to survive in a culture geared towards the preservation of their cultural stasis, a fact compounded by their fixed holistic phrase-based language and only partially mitigated by the later development of compositional language, which allowed new creative thoughts to be encodable in communication and so transmissible to others.
I for one would love to see the discussion of Neanderthal minds move beyond the mere assertion of their superiority to apes, and on to taking account of these more specialised- and much more interesting - ideas. So thank you for your question.
I meant to say JMA, not JAM for Jean M. Auel. X
Kayleigh, you defended the Neanderthal case so fiercely, that I'm now convinced that the world missed out on an excellent lawyer.
And that you secretely crave a Neanderthal man.
_smiles in 93rd percentile in Neanderthal genes_
Im turning 40 this year. Quite old for a modern neanderthal 😅
I really like your videos Kayleigh.
Very informative and enlightening!
On the Homo Naledi: i know the conclusion of art & rituals are inspiring, but there’s one outcome I haven’t heard that comes with all the conclusions summed up: Homo Naledi could communicate, they must have had some kind of verbal communication to coordinate the burial and transport of the dead into those caves: those burials weren’t a one individual job, and required communication.
It could as well be a sign language or something we havent thought of at all. There are so many ways to do things.
@@felixtheswiss indeed, you are right, it doesn’t have to be spoken, some monkeys/apes can learn sign language. but, with this type of communication it implies more then asking ‘can you scratch my back?’ - there’s planning and communicating abstract concepts, which is the most perplexing maybe?
Great and Informative video
When getting a genome test, I was a bit disappointed to learn that my neanderthal genome percentage was below average, as I like to think that this addition to the gene pool has been largely beneficial.
Love your vids... Thanks Kaliegh 💗
Looking forward to it!
My 23&Me said I have < 4% Neanderthal, but I like to round it up to 4%. 🍖🏹
Damn, I should have used them instead. It was all I wanted to know from sequencing. How were they on mt-DNA? Ancestry didn't test enough sites to determine what my mt-DNA haplotype was.
@@neilreynolds3858 they have a report for Maternal Haplogroup, which shows the female line originating in Africa... if that answers your question.
There’s new research out that the human brain was more efficient due to a specific enzyme change in Homo Sapiens frontal lobe cortex compared to Neanderthal/Denisovan, making our brain more effective even though Neanderthal brains were similar or bigger in size.
A conclusion was that humans were successful because of this adaptation, & Neanderthal weren’t, which was a strange conclusion, because Homo sapiens sapiens were also on the brink of extinction as such, we don’t seem more special to me then extinct Neanderthal and the likes. The difference seems to me that once we passed the population bottleneck, we were more effective in sharing knowledge to survive.
Wow! Kayleigh. In a previous video I commented on Auel's books and how you explained to us that these theories are not valid today. Good work!
Thank you for sharing your research. NC USA
There is a hilarious video by the BBC that hypothesizes that Neanderthals spoke with a high pitched vooce.
Well done !! Miss Kayleigh very well done❤❤❤❤❤
I like so much what you do Kayleigh!! 🙏
I hope new discoveries of Neanderthals are made soon. This is very interesting.
Now, more than ever, I think I'm more neanderthal than most lol... I'm impressed i can learn so much from you when my native tongue is a supplimental or secondary language to you. Thanks for sharing
Excellent video as always. Not sure why but the audio seemed a bit thin and recessed on this one.
The sound will be better in the next one.
Outstanding Kayleigh! I agree 💯 about Neanderthals.
need to turn up your volume, I turn the volume up too hear you and then get a UA-cam Ad and it blows me out of the room. oh and have your done a video of Homo Antecessor?
I had the hypothesis for some time ago that the excision of the Neanderthals could be because we brought diseases with us.
like we brought so many casualties to the new world as such.
is it reasonable to assume this as a possibility?
that could have worked the other way, also. i believe we assimilated the last of them, interbreeding, perhaps. had more offspring, maybe? out bred them, so to speak🤔
Not likely. Diseases need density to thrive and make a significant impact on a population. Also, humans did not not really start accumulating diseases until we started domesticating animals.
@@SmokeyMax92101 viruses were part of the evolutionary tree from the beginning of it
Sapiens ate the Neanderthals.
@@lindellbohannon5849 could be we have eaten other (apes) for a long time and still do.
Wat een leuke intro. Nadat ik een paar dagen geleden je kanaal heb ontdekt benoem je even vluchtig oude structuren.
Misschien weet je hier het antwoord op maar ik heb jaren geleden een documentaire gezien waar in Amerika in de grote meren halve circils zijn gevonden. Een hypothese is dat het gebruikt werd om grote fauna te vangen. Die halve cirkels bestaan toch ook in europa?
Nu de echte vraag. Als het bovenstaande klopt is er dan een correlatie tussen de beschavingen van Neanderthalers en latere beschaving in noord Amerika?
Thank you for educating people and showing neanderthals were of comparable human intelligence.
It's kind of weird when everybody says Neanderthals disappeared. The difference between a human being and a chimpanzee is less than 1% of our DNA. The average European has 3%. Neanderthal. If 1% of our DNA is all that stands between us and chimpanzee then my guess is that 3% of of neanderth might be pretty important. It's a human beings are all descended from a mitochondrial Eve out of Kenya and how come Europeans more closely resemble a neanderthal than and indigenous person from Kenya. I kind of think that the Neanderthals are doing just fine. Just looking in the mirror.
Being old and having arthritis, wouldnt it also show that Neanderthals looked after each other
All the usual superlatives on your excellent video...but the audio is terribly weak! Turned up so I can hear you, it just sounds like you are talking loudly in the next room, which is unfurnished...just bare walls. Then an ad comes on and I have to quickly turn the volume down so as not to disturb my neighbors in the apartment building.
The audio will be better in the next one.
I can't talk to people about these things. Many in my family are evangelicals who tell me we are not decended from apes. I say of course not but don't elaberate further because they can't handle the truth. Other friends and family get glassy eyed if i even mention ancient egypt so you can see how talking about Neanderthals and the rest would put them to sleep. Personally i am fascinated by this and you make it easy to understand
Ahhh the classic Bible textualist belief that the Earth is only 6000 years old. No amount of scientific proof can change the mind of someone who's so convinced that God told them otherwise. But the first humans did have to come from somewhere, so it's hard to tell what species the parents of the first humans were, or why the humans were humans while their parents weren't.
Oh, that's sad. It really annoys me that someone has to live under those circunstances of chosen ignorance, when there are countless PHYSICAL evidence of the existence of the human species called Neanderthal, dinosaur bones all over, the world, etc, but there isn't even the first evidence about the existence of any of the many thousands of gods that humans invented. And yet, millions of people in your country (and in mine too, although not so exaggerated...) choose to believe it firmly and to deny any approach to reality. I would never understand how anyone can chose ignorance over knowledge. It breaks the mold for me.
But anyway. I came here just to show you my respect, even we don't know each other, because it takes a lot of bravery and courage wanting to get out of a sectarian thinking thought all around you and decide that you want the truth, despite the fact that those people are your loved ones, and sometimes has to be though to see how brainwashed and wrong they are, and can't talk with anyone about it. Our true origins and not some invented ones that don't make sense at all, just because the preacher says it in the cult. Just have to see the standard of living that many of these charlatans lead. There are some, like this Jesse Duplantis guy that should be stuck in prison for deceiving his followers, who even told them that God wants them to give more money 💵 to their cult, and saod that if Jesus hasn't come back, it's because they haven't donated enough. 🤬And he's the same guy that back in 2018 asked for money to buy a private jet, "because God wanted him to have one." 🤦🏻♂️ Here in Europe, this guy would probably be a social And people would be totally clear that this man is a con man and a scumbag, and he would probably end up in prison. And I can't understand how there can be even 1 person who has donated 1 single dollar to this criminal. But he has bought the jet eventually, so he received a whole lot more money than a dollar. Unbelievable.
Sorry for the "book" I'm writing, but you comment It awakened in me a very great feeling of injustice and I just wanted to congratulate you for having chosen the right path, the one based on evidence and reality. Where no one's going to ask you for money. Keep it up and never allow anyone to impose their worldview on you, especially when that view is completely FALSE. If I have to choose between what a pastor says and what an archaeologist tells me, I'm 100% clear: I choose facts over fantasy.
A fascinating video once again. More and more it seems Neanderthals were not a wholey seperate species but rather a divergent race of a common ancestor. Where and when do different races become wholy seperate species. It's all a bit blurry?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the main reason the Neanderthal died out was the oxygen content of the atmosphere and not their own independence. I am no geologist, archaeologist / paleontologist so forgive me if I'm a little ignorant but that's what I remember.
Actually, they have been found that Neanderthal had greater lung capacity than Homo Sapiens, so I see complicated that that was the reason, because if they all had died because of that, Homo Sapiens would had died too. In any case, NO ONE knows for sure the reason for its extinction and, in fact, there are several theories, but I had never seen that one of the oxygen. I hope this clarified a little bit your doubt. 😊
We ought to scrap all the old conclusions completely and start from scratch. Many archaeological foundations are no doubt cracked if not crumbling from "assumption-damage", and we have more tools available to study things *grunt* more properly.
HI Kayleigh, another informative video. Is there a way to make the sound on your videos a bit louder? At times I can hardly hear you . I realize the problem could be on my end but I do have the volume on max. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
The sound quality will be better in the next one.
@@barrywalser2384 Thanks.
She great to listen to ,looking forward to this ,,.
I love ancient history. It brings out the animal in me. So do you.
I remember an episode of a sci-fi show called farscape where they showed a Neanderthal and it was covered in hair. I'm pretty sure we know they weren't
There is a Zebra that they thought it was extinct, but it turns out to be not extinct but still with us today, they had breed into another spices of Zebra and every so often a zebra comes out with the extinct zebra, This is what I think as happen with all the early man given us the man that is here to day
Thank you for this one!! Did I hear you say that the Neanderthal genes seemed to help prevent covid? There are times that I think I have more than 4% of Neanderthal genes, serious! Have a great week!
One misconception I've heard is, 'Maybe we'll still one day, find a group of surviving Neanderthals or Denisovans'. Although not totally impossible for some of the remotest corners of northern Siberia or the Himalayas, this is extremely unlikely simply because modern humans HAVE penetrated virtually every environment that older humans could survive in- and we haven't found them. What do you think, Kayleigh?
I’m a little confused about why we call them cousins if we were breeding together. Doesn’t that make them our exponentially great grandparents?
Your right you haven't talked enough about neanderthals, you can never talk enough about neanderthals.
Please don't stop talking about neanderthals.
History is only 10,000 years old, or around 5,000 say others. Humans have been around for at least 300,000 years, 300 divided by 5 is 60 so there are 59 histories completly missing! We ignore much more than we will ever know of those 59 missing histories. It's very presumptuous to tell people what has happened when nobody knows it.
Good stuff. Thank you.
It is certainly not surprising that interbreeding happened, when you consider that lots of rather different animal pairs can interbreed, e.g. dog/coyote, lion/tiger, horse/burro, ...
Sound is a little echoing. Normally your videos do not have this issue
It will be fine in the next one.
I see Kayleigh uploads a video, i click it, im a happy man, as always, many thanks, you always make my day.

Excellent work and thank you so much, Kayleigh. Regarding your clarification on Neanderthal ancestry in modern humans--what source are you referencing that indigenous sub-Saharans do not possess Neanderthal DNA? I've been trying to locate this research for some time so any help is much appreciated, ma'am.
All living creatures on earth are "distant cousins" if you go back far enough. Even plants and animals, if you go back to the very beginning of life.
Meid, je hebt het er maar druk mee, Jij bent gewoon een mens, en mensen komen van mensen. Ik hoop dat je ook wel eens een leuk feest hebt ofzo🎉🎉, je bent heel veel met deze dingen bezig. Je hebt het heel de tijd over Neanderthalers maar je beseft je niet dat je een super lekker ding bent en volledig mens ZONDER MISSING LINKS!! ❤❤
Nice content! It's just that the audio is off
Sound will be better in the next one.
Only extra thing I could think of (I do not know if it is yet confirmed), but there is the "Divje Babe Flute", which if true would prove the Neanderthals played musical instruments: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divje_Babe_flute
Is there any evidence of religion, or did that come later? I have heard of pets, is there evidence of this? Just wondering because I asked myself if the word dog came into our vocabulary before the word god did. Tho I'm likely looking at it wrong because I think in modern English not the language that would have waay preceded it. But you asked for questions!! Keep it up!!
Religion isn’t human made
Life has more fluidity than human attempts at defining it. If diverse species can intermingle sexually and produce viable offspring, then what does the word "species" really mean? We are forever challenged by our language as new evidence flows in demanding reimaginings of previous specificity now made questionable.
We had enough in common to produce children. But we were cousin species. They had more in common with the denesivians than we did.
@@rebeccarebeccaa2515 I just wish the fossil record were more complete. The wide gaps make me uneasy.
I've always been under the impression that when we evolved there were multiple different cultures mingling together. We had people that lived in caves and did mining. We had people that lived in the forests. We had pygmies that lived on the islands. We had tribes that worshiped volcanoes. Then you had the tribes that were smart enough to live in the mountains. Mix this with the last remaining giant fauna and it reads the stories of orcs elves and dwarves. They were all human derivatives but much like the African tribes that stretch their necks or bind their skulls they might not have all looked the same. I am really interested in the new denisovan discoveries we might make because I think that race might hold the key to unlock everything.
Another informative video. Thank you
Keep going for
"CE" and "BCE".
Okay I set the notification
Thanks for this. People need to know the truth!!
Odd echo made it a little hard to listen to…. Love you Kayleigh.
Years ago i was in an archeology class and i asked about possible interbreeding between the two species. He asked me if i had read "Clan of the Cave Bear" and while i had read thr book i wasn't thinking of this when i asked the question. I really don't know why i asked the question. I bet he has egg in his face now because he said it didn't happen
Yes our distant cousins deserve respect & we should be grateful that their gene within us has ensured our survival! Thankyou for this video and more please!!

How about video about elongated skulls different from binded ones that wanted to copy original?
For us to have some of their genetic material implies sexual relations at some time. Are we to believe it was always rape, or can we accept that we may have found at least some of them attractive, rather than "savage beasts"?
Kayleigh, have you read Jean M. Auel the book series (Clan of the Cave Bear) and if so, what did you think?
One misconception not mentioned is that there was a Neanderthal named Alley Oop.
Osteoarthritis? Please don't remind me I had 1 knee replacement surgery a couple months ago and will have the 3nd in a few months. Its goid i did as my knees were destroyed but it was not a fun procedure.
Seeing your skeletal picture; did Neanderthals not have shoulder blades?
Your always interesting,there are modern people now day's that seem less careing about others now day's
Ethical question. If we cloned a Neanderthal (using a surrogate or an artificial womb later) would we treat it as a "person" or the way we treat simians?
I keep wondering about the ethical and moral implications of cloning extinct creatures. Hominids are a whole other category. We could learn SO much so quickly. And we could test their ability to learn and process new tool-use. Just how high could they go?
So many questions. So many perils.
Catching up and feeding the Almighty Algorithm.

It is a very great pity that, as far as we know - and one must never discount the possibility that this will be discovered sometime down the line - the Neanderthals had no writing, so then we would know without a shadow of a doubt that they had coherent speech instead of grunts and the like. Would it be a stretch to say that they may have thought of inventing writing but conceived of a Word in which those poor Homo Sapiens would have that nagging question in their minds, so decided not to just to keep us guessing? Crafty lot!
