Neanderthal Apocalypse: A Journey from Extinction to Genetic Legacy | Extra Long Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- 40,000 years ago, the Eurasian steppes were inhabited by our close relatives, the Neanderthals. Advanced and remarkably human-like, their disappearance remains a mystery. In this extra long documentary on the Neanderthal Apocalypse, we explore various theories: from their physical traits and hunting methods to the possibility of a devastating super volcano. Additionally, recent genetic studies suggest Neanderthal DNA might still persist in modern humans. Dive into the enigma of their extinction and the legacy they left behind.

I saw something on the internet that was about the bones of a girl found in a cave whose DNA showed that she was half Neanderthal and half Denisoven. It isn't hard for me to believe that I could have that kind of blood in me because my family blood comes from Scotland, Ireland, and Sylvania. I think it is Awesome! Thank you for putting this on the internet for me to see! I am now 86 years old as of January 3rd, 2023 and I love the internet. 👵🐈⬛🐈⬛ me, my 2 kitties Teo and TwoTwo
We all Europeans have their DNA because 750 million of us come in some way from the original settlers of Europe alongside further waves that came, the Neolithic, the Yamnaya, etc etc... If you have Haplogroups U (like myself) you know your maternal line goes back all the way to Ice Age Europe. But even if you have H (a Neolithic farmer haplogroup) since we are all so mixed up you still have DNA from them (just not your haplogroup). I for example have R1b, which is Yamnaya, pastoralist from the Russian Steppe that came into Europe bringing the Horse, the wheel, and warfare 5000 years B.C. While my maternal haplogroup U5 is from 15 000 years ago, the Ice Age Glacial maximum. Meaning foreign men mixed with local women.
My ancestors must have come from Doggerland - DNA of Scandinavia, Northern Europe, England and Scotland.

I've been dealing with them my all life, mate..

Did they teach you how to speak?
How many times did you watch Stig of the Dump? 😉 fair comment though!
They are thriving in Chicago
They are still alive.I see them in Walmart all the time.
I'm 2.9 Neanderthal, 97.1 Modern Human, mostly Northern European. Don't know where or when, but I'm glad of it, although the Neanderthal fat-reserving trait has caused me grief in my adult life.
I loved the entire CLAN of the CAVE BEAR series, by Jean Auel, whose six book series of great reads absolutely set the eighties on fire!
Eat meat, not grains. Neanderthals didn't make bread.
Hello cousin, I’m same percent as you and also loved the Clan of the Cave Bear. I identify as Neanderthal! Hehe
The fat shall inherit the earth.
23 & me says I’m more Neanderthal than 87% of customers.
I guess we’re related, sorta.
I’m 6% and it’s getting harder to force myself to fast periodically with at least one month long fast every year, now that I’m in my 60s Haven’t been able to do it for a few years now. I’m 30 pounds over my fighting weight now without being flabby. But I don’t feel like a high energy Neanderthal anymore
Why must Documentaries contain such annoyingly loud music.
Probably because they think the music is more important than their message.

There is never just one reason for things to happen. It's various conditions one on top of the other that pushes things to happen, ie extinction. The Neanderthals were absorbed into our culture and therefore they exist via us. They've 'evolved' into us. This is a brilliant documentary. Thank you so much for uploading it.
The Africans committed genocide via breeding. The colonized Europe.
So from now on when I hear about how awful white people are, I think I’ll use this.
I'm such a nerd and I love these documentaries. Thank you!
Hello my sister nerd!❤❤❤

@@henryottis295 Hello brother! 🤣 🥰🥰
Hello twin nerd 🤭🤭🤭
Neanderthal’s strength and stamina, their intelligence and endurance-along with so many unique attributes-has always impressed me. I suppose the more evidence that turns up, the more modern humans will have to appreciate-and be appreciative of-the fact that Neanderthals were just as human as “we” are. And not to be disparaged as stupid or brutish. Thanks for the great watch!!
I remember some years ago now that they were presented as being brutish and unintelligent but I saw the volume of their brain pans were generally greater than so-called "anatomically modern man." I remember telling people that they were men (of man kind). And that with a bit of grooming would easily pass as one of us. I am pleased that idea has become evident to other scientists.
Neanderthals loved laughed had a sence of humor they invented things that matched their time era. They made cloths jewelry blankets & toys for their kids. The kids laughed ran around played games explored made toys got into trouble. At camp fires at the end of the day an uncle banged out nice sounding vibrations on a hallow log while others made singing sounds like howling. The clan was a close family & they morned their dead
Perhaps we Neander's were even MORE human than you modern ones. In the true realities and ways "human" is defined. Once again, the modern humans annihilated whatever they decided to "own". That is what they have done since then too.
grooming?? Only when they look like you are they acceptable?? WE were (are) the actually superior creatures, but like so many (cuz they did not look like you) cultures have discovered, perhaps the so called moderns were the BRUTES!! Wiping out in horrible ways, whomever looked differently or lived differently from you. Or whomever they were able to take land and resources from.@@donfronterhouse4759
WHY DO YOU ONLY ACCEPT OTHERS IF THEY DO IT LIKE YOU. WE NEANDERS WERE DIFFERENT AND THE OTHERS TRIED TO WIPE US OUT FOR THAT. BUT SOME OF US ARE STILL HERE, VERIFIED BY DNA ANALYSIS. STILL HERE WATCHING QUIETLY AS THE 'SUPERIOR RACE' TOTALLY RUINS THE WORLD WITH WARLIKE WAYS. SIGH!@@sallymay3643
Took a dna test and was amazed to find out I’m almost 5% Neanderthal. Its one of the highest possible percentage of Neanderthal dna in modern day “humans” and this is something that makes me feel unique!
Close to that myself, which might explain some dreams I've had of what California looked like when the sea level was a few feet higher....(not really of course because we came from Europe, but it's fascinating to consider, isn't it?). Cheers...
I have a friend with a very prominent brow ridge. If he said he was part Neanderthal, I’d believe it.
@@wayne9518; Or your friend took a lot of drugs ... It's proven that drugs cause a heavy brow .
I got Neanderthal DNA. too..its spliced in some of us modern humans even if its a small percentages ..just try to be proactive which what you can hit with the genetic lottery, unfortunately, I got Crohn's disease...Supposedly that's leftover from Neanderthal DNA...You'll have to look at the recent studies on a goog..its pretty interesting.. I guess diabetes and Lupus are from Neanderthal DNA too.

So far they have not mentioned the greater pain tolerance these people had
Perhaps too great of a great pain tolerance 🌝👀
They were literal gorillas and could rip a regular humans head off. In hand to hand combat 1 of them could slaughter whole groups of us. I think they tuned into Bigfoot
And yet they are still here- within us. We are all hybrids, and thus a little bit different from each other, while calling ourselves " sapiens". Just as , one day, all our current "races" and such will be homogenized-

I think the extra aggressive/rage played the biggest factor cause when someone is raging it's harder to think, if you're always angry you're going to make a lot of mistakes.
That constant fight or flight high cortisol state. Imagine how quickly it aged them. If they made it to say 20, their bodies probably very healthy yet aged at least twice that. So interesting 🤔
I wouldn't be surprised if neanderthals taught humans how to survive in the colder environments.
I loved this ! Thank you so much ! So very interesting and so well researched !
Best of the Neanderthal docs so far! Very sensible and realistic.
the area where the neaders lived was destroyed when a caldera in italy went up and made 6 volcanos go off at one in the area of modern middle east , 6k miles of devastation .
they ate the men and bred with the women for about 100k years the male offspring were sterile but not the women so and so it went .
controversial anthropology but it is gaining traction . especially since any human bones found in neanderthal had all kinds of chew marks on them matching neanderthals teeth .
That is one of the most fascinating documentaries I’ve seen in my life very very interesting. I’m gonna have to save this one to watch again.
I have learned about "our Cascadia Zone and the Cascade mountains from Nick Zentner a Geologie professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington He has said that Yellowstone is a "Hot Spot" like the Hawaiian Islands. He mentioned that it last "blew up" when it was in Idaho because of plate tectonics. As the narrator mentioned 64,000,000 years ago.
Yellowstone is definitely a hot spot, but I think you got the number wrong, I think you mean 640,000 years ago. Best evidence suggests that Yellowstone erupts on average every 725,000 years ago and that its last super-eruption happened 631,000 years ago.

😊 keep listening you'll get get the hang of it with
" millions vs billions"
A constant supply of protein/food would be needed, and I think they would have seen animals trapped in mud and also in tangled undergrowth so would have naturally developed trapping methods as well; it's likely that younger, weaker members would have devised simple traps. They had to be intelligent to have thrived in extremely cold areas, they would have had a constant need to understand how to keep warm and feed their bodies to survive - even modern man can die very quickly in such environments with the best of equipment. Making a fire and having enough wood would have been vital in the snow areas. Thanks for an interesting look into the latest thoughts and findings on these ancestors. Regards to all.
the eskimos had no fire in the past. There was no wood in icy north. They had very warm furcloth and snowiglus. They eaten fresh warm raw fish and robs.
Their technology remained stagnant for tens of thousands of years, it didn’t advance.
You know there are parts to all this I just have a hard time believing cause at the end of the day they are theories or you can call them a hypothesis, whichever you prefer. It just doesn't make sense how species that were that hardy and managed to survive for as long as they did, what over 330,000 yrs just died off. It wasn't really until we showed up, you know the killer of all things that the the last two of our relatives went extinct. Now keep in mind that interbreeding could only happen between a Homo sapien man and a Neanderthal woman due to her birth canal and not the other way around. So there are still lots of what-ifs. Until we can travel back in time and observe them we are never going to know the truth. My take is they met us and it went as well for them as the Aztecs meeting the Spanish.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. THANK YOU. I enjoyed this very much.
I was Erectus in high school, Neanderthal in the military until marriage, been Sapien for the last 48 years. 😊
Every morning one part of my body is also erectus, but not homo ...

For the last couple years I have been very intrigued by the Neanderthals and earlier species.This was really interesting ,watched couple times now.
Some of them are your ancestors.
That's interesting for everyone to know, or did you think you were txing a friend?
@@brianSalem541and yours
I am getting confused myself. I am by no means a Neanderthal buff, but over the years I have heard theories on them and other ancient cousins of ours that totally conflict with each other. I guess it is to be expected with science and new technology growing and changing all the time.
THE MORE I LISTEN THE MORE YAKUB STORY MAKE SENSE. HYBRID CREATION. DESTRUCTIVE NATURE. FALLEN ANGELS
When I was young and first heard of the neanderthal it was like they were thick headed and stupid, I did not believe this and I asked my teachers about them and I got no sense from them. I knew that no way could they be that way, they were our type of kin and have followed every bit of news about them and now i am happy that knew info is coming about these people and glad to have about 2 percent of their DNA in me.
Nice to know that you are proud to be associated with a species that has been, for a long tine, the "Other" human race.
Since this new evidence of Neanderthals not being "stupid", or black, I have been amazed by the new acceptance of Neandethals being more than we thought.
I've been thinking Neanderthals need an anti-defamation league.
Yes, indeed. And a new respect for your elders.@@AgnesC1111
Another genocide covered up and “white” made to look dumb. Predator first POC took them out
@@BoB-Dobbs_leaning-leftfor awhile they recently were selling insurance to modern humans !!! So tell me who is smarter ! 😂😂😂
I thought some of the logic was that neantherthals tended to be in smaller groups/tribes. and modern humans tended to gather in larger numbers...and thats what was more likely to have led to neantherthals dying out. smaller groups tend to be more susceptable to not surviving extinction events like bad weather and poor crops etc etc.
I agree with this Hypothesis. It makes sense.
Fascinating! Thank you!
Very interesting episode and I love to keep learning new things. Thanks for posting.😊
So many dumb comments on this . "Native Americans hunted on horseback". Yeah and how did they hunt before Europeans brought horses over? " "why didn't homo sapiens die in eruption?" Because they lived in other areas. Think before you comment.
We bred with them, a mate of mine looks like one ,and his second toe is bigger than his big toe

Why do intelligent, well studied, educated, minds:
🔹 seemingly set aside the "Standards of Science and Research" (excerpts: "Mind fully open, free of any predetermined Beliefs, Theories, Opinions, allowing the Research Methodologies to extract the greater facts").
The "Standards" are an established guide for the Academic and Researcher to apply for the Purpose of "Self Discipline", to prevent the Human Ego Mind from claiming a subject or point is fact to support a hypothesis or theory, ("that in some fashion is serving their perceived desire, opinion, , and in doing so presents inaccurate information as accurate, as fact, thereby offering the Academic/Researcher a gain, fame, a variable serving the Ego Mind if the individual, and misguiding others into an area that is not serving actual Science/History facts and advancement.")
Therefore theres Value in the opportunities for the Academics/Researchers having "Freedom of Thoughts", "Opportunities to present Hypothesises, Theories, that allows for the forward advancing of Exploration and Discoveries, Advancements, not hindered by bureaucracy, personal/private/group interests.
This is at the very foundation of Science, Academic and Research ethics, integrity, the fluid motion towards greater facts findings, allowing for the necessary and desired gains of advancements.
🔹Logic is a center stone of Academia and Research, a Cognitive value and a tool serving to balance direction and give opportunities to alternatives.
There's a Flaw in the current "Administration of Academia" and their Camp, the "Mainstream Academics", as they have established their perspective on a "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline" (Theory) being used as (Fact) and this is a Fatal Flaw in their Perspective, Paradigm, further it has allowed the (Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind) to taint the "Value of the Scientific Integrity" and it has soread throughout the entire scope of the Academic Contents.
Countless examples of Academics breaking from the Scientific Standards, in their behaviors, actions, and works, in their ignoring of "Peer Reviewed Science" and their Statements, in Professional settings and Publically.
🏹 Theres an obvious need gor the adding of an exercise of "Academic Higher Minded, aka Mature Minded application of Thought Practice, for the Higher Mind is where Wisdom resides, and behaviir follows Thought and Thought Perspective.
During the early 20th Century, someone took the opportunity to redirect Western Academia, on a chiisen Paradigm, although their purpose is yet unclear to me. A forcing of the "Darwinian Model" being used as Fact and the full acceptance then resulting un Teaching the Model as Fact.
🏹 Highly undesirable actions (cause and effect) has resulted, countless Peer Reviewed Findings that do not support their M8del, current finding remain filed that literally prived the Darwinian Midel as inaccurate, most notably those of Genetics/DNA studies/findings.
🔹Studies resulting in finding's statements that include:

Please made a documentary on summerian civilization
I think what people don't take in consideration everyone was trying to survive and reproduce so everything was competition. They fought us they bred with us.
They may have been just outnumbered. Or lacked war tactics. Man they must have been tough as railroad spikes
I love this thank you .
I wonder what the last Neanderthal alive felt as he or she awaited their own passing.
Interesting. The physical strength of the Neanderthals would be of little use in facing off against projectile weapons such as throwing spears, slings, or primitive bows. Then again, I'm assuming the Neanderthals also had at least some such weapons; but perhaps they were less effective with them for some reason. On the other hand, maybe humans were outbreeding the Neanderthals, and we overwhelmed them by sheer numbers.
Humans absorbed them through inter mixing.
The number of Neanderthals was indeed much smaller due to harsh environmental conditions.
Possibly the best and most diverse documentry I have watched on the subject..
Kind regards,
Robert.

Wowwww I have no idea YELLOWSTONE WAS ABOUT DUE FOR ANOTHER ERUPTION.
OMG. WHY AREN'T WE PLANNING FOR THIS. We would be LAUNCHED INTO CHAOS AND SAVAGERY. WE WOULD HAVE TO EAT EACH OTHER, MASSIVE RAPES, FIGHTING, AND KILLING.
'diverse'?? Never mind, I don't know what documentry means. Apologies.
If they was cutting a bird up for feathers, i bet they didnt just throw away the meat...i bet they ate it too
It isn't a " mystery" why the neanderthal went extinct. It was obviously a combination of factors. The ice age was ending, modern humans were competing for the same food, and interbreeding. Their population was never big to begin with. The larger population just absorbed them. That's why Europeans and Asians are 2 to 5 percent neanderthal DNA. There had to be a lot of interbreeding. They would have been gone even without any factors. The interbreeding alone would have done it.
Many people don’t realize that Neanderthals were also inbred. As a result their reproduction fitness was lower than Sapiens about 40%. They also interbred with the Denisovans, the added genetic diversity helped their compatibility with Sapien DNA thus further contributing to their absorption by Sapiens.
Also there were only ever about 10,000 Neanderthals alive at any given point of their existence.
It was an informative and scientific introduction documentary about Neanderthals, their's specifically and characteristics....thank you (Get.factual) documentary channel

Many thanks
This is so weird! It's the opposite of everything I learned about early hominids in school, which I thought were the same as Neanderthals. I seriously thought they were like the portrayals in the Far Side cartoons, bashing each other upside the head with clubs (ergo the term "knuckle-dragger")... and then slowly evolved INTO modern humans. This is the first time I'm hearing the idea of Neanderthals and modern humans existing at the same time. I also thought huge facial features were a Neanderthal trait that more or less died out.
Well, if the cycle of the 12000 years of the earth not only "theory", as well that the super-vulcan Campi Fregrei soon or later will go to erupt, as all sign's showing, better to learn some survivor techniques, learning from the history, also by videos like this one. As they're saying, the history repeats itself.
Excellent!!!!!!
really nice video great
Knowing how smarth Neans were, I strongly doubt they were simply charging big animals, they surely trapped them somehow before killing. They could as well chasing to death wounded animals same as some people still do nowadays e.g. Tarahumara in Mexico or Bushmen in Calahari.
We were very smart, creative, artistic, and family oriented. We were not expecting the more warlike ways of your people. We were both wiped out and assimilated by your race. But some of us are still here. You will know us by our fair skin and beautiful auburn hair, as well as our different way of viewing nature and the world. Our intelligence and abilities, our peaceful ways. We are still among you. And by the way...we made amazingly accurate and lethal hunting tools. We did not just chase them around, hopping onto their backs for goodness sake!!! Don't confuse us with yourselves. Most information that is true about us is still not knowable by your people.
@@beckythornton6470 My race? which is?
@@beckythornton6470your incorrect, burials show men were buried with traditions women were discarded as well as children. DNA shows women were passed around to men .

@beckythornton6470 you could be a novelist. Very well written
The brains of Neanderthals were larger than our present day brains......
Let that sink in .....
If you're feeling superior.
Why would anyone be bothered about that, may as well feel inferior to apes because we can't rip someone's arms off.
What?? Who sees themselves in competition 😂
No, not feeling superior just feeling 100 percent pure homosapiens.
Neanderthal brains were bigger than modern humans, but the larger parts were parts involved in scent, vision, and motor control. The part of the brains associated with intelligence like abstract reasoning, language, social skills, etc. were smaller than in homosapiens.
They did experiments with the neanderthal brain gene and showed it was linked to slower creation of neurons in the brain’s cortex during development, suggesting that neanderthals had lower cognitive abilities than homo sapiens.
Some chick once called me a Neanderthal at a bar in Dallas back in the 80’s
I said thank ya darlin’
I am mighty successful
Very interesting
Homo Sapiens didn't develop composite tools and weapons for 30,000 years AFTER Neanderthalensis much less "Throwing Spears".
The real key to our defeat of Neanderthalensis was social cooperation leading to much larger social groups. Neanderthals never exceeded 40ish persons per clan/tribe. We formed social groups of 70-120 and cooperated with even larger groups of tribes and clans.
We simply breed more often, live longer and gang up on prey animals and eat all of the food and then move on leaving Neanderthals to starve to death with their lower endurance and lack of habitual roaming longer distances for food.
It’s so crazy that new findings with latest technology get challenged with older estimations/older technologies and the older ones are often considered stronger just because it’s been believed for longer!! It’s so obvious these days that allot of our old beliefs are just wrong!
100 %
Facinating!
Isn't it?
Im glad they are getting their due through
I cannot believe they had to move to another country due to eating all the game in their area.
300000 years of stable existence, superior visual processing, larger brains and no sign of the self terminating characteristics of homo loco. Ontologically superior for sure.

@@hokeywolf3416 Actually that would explain why they died off.
If the Neanderthal died out, how comes my DNA has Neanderthal from 40,000 years ago.???
As explained, it took about 10,000 years after the appearance of modern humans before they dissapeared. You can do a hell of a lot of interbreeding in 10,000 years
They talk about this in the video. Evidence of interbreeding and the presence of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans.
@peggyjones3282 Yes, but they also talked like the Neanderthals were no more. But if this were so that it wouldn't show up in our DNA, would it??? My blood line is strange. Neanderthal, S Africa, N Africa, over toward India, then from upper Russia, Mesopotamia, Viking, Iran, Ireland and finally Scotland to the USA.
Strikes me that the documentary is possibly missing something (so far, I'm abut 2/3 done). The lighter, flung, spears of humans would enable the hunter to carry and thus throw more projectiles per person into the intended victim from a safer distance (9-12 feet is less dangerous than 0"). Also, the argument has been that the physical structure of Neanderthal, for all the advantages it would afford the species, would limit the population... less ability to cover greater distances quickly would mean less successful hunting in terms of volume. Homo sapiens on the other hand were relatively lithe and could more easily cover greater ground than Neanderthal. Hence they had a greater population than Neanderthal... which may have added to the causes of extinction.
I am 2.3 neanderthal and 2.4 densonion according to n.geographic....rather proud ...and now here i am, a unique person, like all of us......amazing to the point of unimaginable ....it is truely awesome.
Oh
You are asian ?
My DNA is 2% Neanderthal. I am Puerto Rican.
3.4% Australian.
2% Neanderthal 98% Scandinavian. Considering how so many societies choose to develop based on greed over compasion and empathy a super eruption or two may be an appropriate natural response.
4% Home sapien neanderthalensis and equal parts Scandinavian, British Isles and German with a pinch of jew. If history has shown us anything it's that all species eventually go extinct and I we will be an exception, probably won't even come close to the amount of time Neanderthals survived.

Agreed.
Thanks for this great video. But it’s still not clear why the Neans should go extinct and not Modern Humans. Both survived west and north-east of the ash-affected area, as the simulation maps show. The eruption may have been a factor, but surely not the only one, and probably not the most important one. So paleontologists and other researchers can be glad to have yet much work ahead!
A most excellent video....Thanks

I'm just glad this proves that modern humans did not wipe out the Neanderthals.
😢😊
I like your point but there is still a chance "we" wiped out the Neanderthals that remained OR that the remaining Neanderthals joined groups of homo sapiens. We, most probably, will never know for sure... There used to be several theories about how dinosaurs were wiped out - and the latest theory is the meteor theory. 😉
Another theory, which is only briefly touched upon is this video, is that homo sapiens was more warlike and agressice than Neanderthals. Even if Neanderthals were phyically stronger and just as intelligent as homo sapiens, they might have been wiped out by them if they were less inclined to fight and expand their territory than homo sapiens. One of the experts on this program does point out that history does demonstrate that homo sapiens is an extremely agressive and warlike species. If the Neanderthals were more peaceful and less aggressive than modern humans, homo sapiensa could have wiped them out over a period of several thousand years.
they said Neanderthals had more androgens = male hormnes - e.g. more tostosterone - as visible in their bones (those hormones effect can be "read" from the bones) - sothey ware for sure a little more agressive, not less
neantherthals survived in an inhospitable ice age europe, they hunted big game like mammoths and wooly rhinos, they have conflicts with other tribes. they were resilient creatures. thus, more aggressive.
what do you mean, where are they? i've seen some walking around. LOL
Yes Ive seen some too, in fact they're everywhere if you look carefully . They never went extinct, no way.
@@Mousearellowe have one in the White House Right now
They are at a Gym, Short but Mascular!., I think Fat Sapiens is the New Species!. 😊😊😅
I've got two percernt Neanderthal DNA. This was a really well done program.
It is amazing to realize that we, homo sapiens sapiens, are the only currently surviving species of mand-kind.
We are not...look around there is so much diversity...
Ive always felt the Neanderthals were the more advanced society and their extinction had to have been a planetary force of some kind.
Aaaliens
Very recently, we have discovered that Paleolithic people painted on stones, and the United States is covered with them. If you really want to see the people of ancient America than learn how to see their art. They wanted you to know.
We are them ❤
BTW, those crossed line petroglyphs were probably the first tick-tack-toe games... ;*[}
I am a Neanderthal.
Hell yeah brother 💪
The Australian Aborigines made huge aquaculture systems covering many square kilometres to catch eels that migrated into the systems every year. The women wove intricate eels traps from reeds. The eels were smoked, dried and the meat traded. I’m sure the Neanderthal would have done the same.
You don’t know that at all.
@@doe729perhaps could rather than would?
Neatherlands are mostly meat eaters but the hunting gathered like hunting antelopes and birds and porcupines and catching fish.Even eat humans.
Australian Aboriginal DNA is Indian/ not European
@@Schwabian ah, but there is very likely Denisovan DNA in them
Facts. Based on a Geico commercial.
This is the first time learning about early humans and neanderthals that made me wonder how successful our ancestors would have been if the neanderthals hadn't begun the process of taming the environment, driving back the monsters and super predators, before the smarter but smaller and probably less fearless early humans showed up
14:39. I've always wondered how heavy, bandy-legged people could get within thrusting range of large animals capable of 35 mph for 10 miles. I got it; they used either traps or snares to delay the animals. Don't know about pit traps but we have Neanderthal spun cordage so I think some kind of rope snare that entangled feet was used a lot. If I couldn't throw a spear it's what I'd do!
The many broken, then healed bones on each Neanderthal found does suggest that they ambushed their prey and speared the prey at close quarters. The rope could have been used as you say, but could have been used for other things instead. The funny thing about Neanderthals is they did not evolve very much or very fast if you compare them to us. They pretty much stayed the same without new inventions throughout their time here on Earth.
@@LadyLeda2 Isaiah describes a hand grenade. If you look for "the Babylon Battery" online you'll see the device Isaiah describes but the explosive didn't last 2900 years. (Thank heavens!) The Babylon Battery was set up as a land mine around a grave. And shows why knowledge of gunpowder and other explosives died out: it's really unstable. Every time something explosive was invented, the inventors exploded. The Chinese didn't invent gunpowder: they invented the ways to keep gunpowder stable until needed. And with block printing and a common literary language they were able to disseminate their techniques widely before somebody got hurt.
The very low population density of Neanderthals combined with what was probably wide language differences between nearby populations would have combined to make the spread of any kind of new invention pretty unlikely.
Bandy-legged ??
Says who ?
@@LadyLeda2
They had it rough in a hostile frigid environment, and just surviving in that climate was in itself commendable, and an achievement.
They may not have had the luxury of spare time and languid afternoons to spend creating new inventions and honing their skills at hunting ect.
They did what worked, and they survived longer than we have been here....
Which speaks volumes for them !
@@LadyLeda2 Certainly a possibility--see what you're saying and why....
what an expert his re-enacting was hilarious
