The First Hominins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2024
- We've made it through the first primates, the first anthropoids, and the first apes, which means we have finally arrived at the emergence of hominins. This is a group of apes that emerged at the end of the Miocene 7 million years ago, as our lineage split off from that of the panins, like modern chimpanzees and bonobos. What are the features of these early hominins, where did they live, and how did they behave? Let's find out!

Why did I read this as *The First Homies*
Me too
Technically its the same thing 😂
I mean that pretty accurate🤣
To be fair, they were probably homies.
Haha same
I read my notification as "The First Homies" and im glad to see i aint alone
Homies are family 😎
The first hominins are my homies
Homes evolved from the Broseph.
That’s pretty accurate too.
😂😂😂 you get a gold star for best comment
I've been really into Paleoanthropology for awhile now because of Gutsick Gibbon and it's been awesome listening to Professor Dave talk about this for the past month.
The funny part is Erika wrote these. Check the description
@@rty08 oh crap lol that's awesome good catch.

As always: Gentle (and of course very modern) apes approve of this video.
Indeed we do ☺
Modern? Speak for yourself. I have a thick and strong brow ridge that would make chimps question their whole lineage.
I feel like calling a flat earther an Ardipithecus would be an insult, to the Ardipithecus anyhow.

I refer to former MAGA. Representatives Kevy McCarthy and Devy Nuñes as the last two living members of the species Fresnopithecus stupidensis.
As soon as Dave said "anterior foramen magnum" I had a pretty good idea who wrote the script for this video. Well done, Erika.
Damn, she's really cornered the UA-cam market on paleoanthropology, hasn't she?
Insider comments
Creationists lie so much about Lucy that you end up accidentally memorising the traits of bipedalism to throw at them e.g. anterior foramen magnum, sagitally oriented iliac blades, inline hallux, valgus knee...
@@Nxck2440 Don't forget that bowl-shaped pelvis; this is when I was certain, without checking the describey, that the script was Erika's. That list of traits, in that particular order, is almost a litany for her.
8.5 minutes no bullshit, just information, informative, no filler words...
Dave, you are the teacher every student deserves! following you since 5 years, thank you for deepening my understanding of countless topics (and making me laugh when you grill flat earthers and intelligent designers ;D)
Sad that there's people out there that will just brush off this incredible field of science with "Nuh uh".
Yes, they'll use their pseudo science book, the bible, to attempt to counter actual science with such bible ideas as: talking snakes, donkeys and eagles. Sticks turning to snakes, 900 yr old people, magic dirt water potions to test women's fidelity, Elijah rode a fiery chariot around the sky, stars will fall to the ground, angels had sex with humans to make a race of giants, Joshua commanded the sun to stop, a god impregnated an engaged teen. She birthed a half god half man and he was used as a human sacrifice, came back to life and is coming back riding a cloud to take believers away to their mansions on gold paved streets.😂😂
Most of the current science denialism (climate, vaccines, globe earth, medication, etc.) originates from creationists trying to prop up their beliefs by creating conspiracies about evolution science.
“The bible says nothing about this!”😂
@@user-gw4oz1rk3i yet believers will counter it with their idiot holy book!🤣🤣
"But where's the missing link? Show me the missing link! Where's the missing link?!"

The creationists are gonna scream .
Not unexpected.
Yup 😂 and probably those Muslim dudes he talked about the other day
I feel like creationists are gonna just flood the comments of this video just so they can preach random verses from a random book.
Dude was waiting Dave to upload about evolution just to write this ancient joke
@@pbnwlook ones Screaming now
The preacher was right, my grandfather was no monkey.
I do share a descendant with the great apes, though.
Depends on what you mean by monkey. If you use monkey as a monophyletic term referring to anything in the anthropoid clade, we are still monkeys now.
Except great apes are a subset of monkeys, and (due to monophyly) we are still monkeys today. Highly derived monkeys, but monkeys nonetheless.

Big old undereducated enthusiastic amateur here. Just wanted to praise Professor Dave for ensuring these videos are clear, concise and understandable to even the like of me. Not gonna pretend “I am now Professor too”. But it’s encouraging to know that, should I ever return to education, all this stuff is knowable and accessible.
To everyone who is religious: yes we are apes
So true my ape brother
I'm religious and I agree cladisticly but just like we are fish but you wouldn't serve us up with chips in that sense we're not fish.
@@christophersnedeker Who said we're fish?
@@NewNecro technically we still group within the clade Sarcopterygii or the Lobe Finned Fish, so we are fish in the same way that we're eukaryotic animals and also in the same way we're mammals and apes, it's just further down the line.

Has Dave ever done full Explains on various world religions or comparative mythology?
actually i am planning on doing that at some point
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Awesome Stuff! Keep up the good work Dave.
That sounds freaking sweet.
I love your work, thanks to your videos I've understood and passed chemistry during my biotechnology studies, before it was hard for me to grasp, especially when it came to organic chemistry.
Thanks for the class!! Hope you are having a good day!
absolutely love this series! Keep up the good work
great video, thank you Dave and Erika!
One of my favorite things about human evolution is how much we don’t know. So many fascinating mysteries.
Love this series Dave!
Thanks Prof. Dave!
Amazing video as always!
Loving the anthropology 🙌
You should do a collab with GutsyGibbon for the hominids im sure shed love to.
she writes the scripts for this series!
GutsickGibbon?
They've both appeared together on Aron Ra's channel in the past.
Love your lower vocals on your intro song!
Thanks Dave!
An excellent series, thanks Dave, a short form of this history of our ancestors. So that I, and I am sure others, can get an easily understandable and digestible history of our species. There's been so much since the discovery of Lucy, which I remember Leaky announcing their discovey the summer after my eleventh birthday. I'm old enough and ugly enough that in my teens I saw him lecturing at The Natural History Museum, London. I was enthralled by longform stories in our Sunday Papers Glossy Magazines, about the Kenyan discoveries. For this old boomer, it's great that I've found a clear explanation of the timeline now. Be safe and always, stay free!
but Dave you left off the other branch off of genus Gorilla, flerthis Nobrainicus, still evolving but REALY slowly
That was cool, thanks Prof 🤓
Yes I have been getting into anthropology and archeology in the last week or so, shout out to miniminuteman , who also talked about in more depth the same skeletons discusses here. I have been wanting a video talking about early human evolution
There's one word to describe this video: awesome!
Hooray for Professor Dave and Gutsick Gibbon! :D
I love this

Looking for triggered creationists...
what would you like to hear?
Amazing
I miss dunking on creationists. Sometimes. I wish they would come up with a new argument already though.
It's so boring to hear PRATT after PRATT. It's like fighting a hydra.
They never had arguements.
At least hydras are cool and scary. Creationists are like whiny 8 year olds.
Feel free to do some dunking, Im ready.
Were the second, add hominin?
not gonna lie I had to google a lot of terms but it was very interesting ! Always like learning about our ancestors !
I love learning about earlier human species. To anybody curious, I'd highly recommend the game Ancestors: the Human Odyssey. Yes it is a game, and thus not 100% scientifically correct, but it does a fantastic job of showing just how far we've progressed since our tree-dwelling ancestors, and showing some of the challenges they'd have faced. Protip: always carry an obsidian cutter so you can always forage sticks and sharpen them into spears fairly easily! Tools are what let humans gain such a huge advantage, and you aren't going to be able to punch out the saber tooth cats of the era! Sticks and spears are your friends.
I have tried to Google the biological definition of a vulgus knee, but all I keep coming up with the deformities, not the actualEvolutionary definition. I was looking for an anatomical comparison of a valgus knee, with the knees of other apes.
Can one of you help me please?
I was about to comment "in before the creationists say NUH UH!" but I see there are already a few of those comments in the first hour of this being up.
Would you ever do a computer science course?
Hopefully one day
@@ProfessorDaveExplains As someone who is now entering 1st Year College BSCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science), I would be delighted to see that from your channel
@@user-ki1un4jg2d Get an education, sweetie. You're humiliating yourself.
I’m always amazed when I think of how recently in geological time that hominins have been around and the mere blink of an eye that our troubled and malignant species has been extant.
23 & Me ? Go back far enough and we’re all Africans.
"troubled and malignant"? You know yourself best.
Love this, and looking forward to the next video. Correct me if im wrong but eventually there will come a time when Homo Sapiens no longer describes our biology and culture and a new species of Human will emerge. Before Homo Sapiens, it was Homo heidelbergensis, Homo erectus, and Homo neanderthalensis. If so there would be a new species in the Human line; What do you think or if you could name them, what would you name this new species?
My bid would be on Homo Novus; The New Man
They call it Homo deus and some say we are already there
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I prefer homo-astrolicus
aka space faring man
Cool
science jesus makes another video!
The creationists are going to love this one.
Yep, I'm here, shall we let the games begin.
why are his videos getting less views
Loved it, thanks!

3:10
Just look at that smug bastard.
That looks says "I'll eat all your ice cream and you won't do a thing about it."
Never been this early
Small mistake that I'd like to point out at 0:24, Chimpanzees and Bonobos are also hominins along with Humans as they also belong to the tribe Hominini (members of which are called Hominins). The tribe Hominini splits into subtribe Hominina and subtribe Panina so i think you really ment to say Homininans/Australopithecines.
So glad you’re doing these!!
After that moron screwed up all the prehistory hominids possible in that reaction video, I was actually groaning aloud and beyond annoyed 😜
Just some casual research on YT from RELIABLE sources would have given him a full background on early humans 🙄🙄🙄 instead of haughtily preaching someone else’s BS with remarkable confidence in its veracity, when CLEARLY he hadn’t checked its validity himself FIRST.. 🤦♀️🙄
This is why PROFESSOR Dave is awesome!!! 👏 thank you!!
What’s a “toe-off” ?
FINALLY
Did the change in canines becoming smaller mean a change in diet?
Maybe... Thats my best answer.
Did suboor reach out to you for a debate yet?😂
Nope
An argument against creation I've been working on refining is that sexual reproduction makes no sense outside of evolution. Sexual reproduction is a huge advantage for evolution because it opens access to a gene pool and allows for an easy way to eliminate bad mutations while amplifying the good mutations across individuals. But if life was designed with a completed body plan then there is no need for a gene pool! If the designer wanted variation in traits that could always be programmed in with specific possible ranges. While critical for evolution, ID and special creation do not need a gene pool. Sexual reproduction comes with a cost that only makes sense if there is a major advantage. As many as 1-4 (25%) miscarriages, having to find a suitable mate, all the energy put into finding a mate, violence often associated when competing for mates or forced copulation, spread of disease, etc... but more importantly there is no way to keep your design the way you want it when traits can be permanently lost in the gene pool and new mutations are unpredictable.
The Bible sort of gives a reason but it's incredibly sexist
@@Bob-the-1-and-only-blob-fish What's the reason? And of course even if a god wanted his special creation to have sexual relationships... why also other animals, insects, plants and even most microorganisms?
@@buttonwizard6644 to make more animals but also something about marriage and how the 2 sexes were meant for eachother that nonsense
@@buttonwizard6644 it's really stupid and doesn't make any sense but that's the reason the imaginary book gives
@@Bob-the-1-and-only-blob-fish Yeah, it's lame and doesn't apply to the rest of the life on the planet. I mean life is sexual so animals have to for there to be more but it's not a requirement or logical for a designer god to choose this method.
Subboor, I hope you’re watching this, you’ll need it 😂
The ads on this video are called Ad - Hominins
Thus sayeth the Mighty Creature in the Sky!
damn those valgus knees, designed for a life expectancy < 30 years. [I considered editing out "designed" there!]
you could replace it with "adapted", I think it's more fitting
I think it was the development of an imagination that springboard us toward what we think of as modern humans. Unfortunately, it may be our imaginations that lead to our downfall.
Ardipithecus has a toe up on the world
I'll be a quadruped when I inevitably need two walking sticks but still can't afford a mobility scooter.
The age of the first bipedal fossils correaltes more or less with the time the Caribbean Plate and the Pacific Plate slowly merged, building the Isthmus of central America. An event which might have contributed to a disruption of oceanic currents...thus turning the forrests of central Africa more and more into grassland. An enviroment that would favour bipedal apes.
Also don't forget the flat earth variety, The Ad Hominins.
Suboor Ahmed should start taking notes.
👍👍
I read the title as "the first homies"
Where is part 2?
This is an 18 part series. Check the playlist.
The main thing I recall about anthropology dates back to 1972
'We did not evolve to live in the societies we have erected'. That sure seem to explain a lot, from inequality to mental and behavioral issues.
We basically evolved to live in tribes and cooperate and not to 💩on each other.
"8 men own as much wealth as the poorest half of humans" just about says it all.
It's not about biology. Attitudes and beliefs are the basis of social institutions and those evolve slowly. Mostly driven by economic conditions, but not totally. The tolerance of extreme concentration of wealth and power may someday no longer be a social norm. It's currently experiencing a resurgence
@@edwardj3070 I did not say it was about biology, although i is in a way,
It's about social life.
We evolved, actually evolved, to cooperate and live un small tribes.
We did nor evolve to live under psychopathic rulers always trapping us in lies and deceptions.
In a way, yes, our biology is not adapted to lives in such complex societies with so many invisible and artificial threats.
Sapiens are about a million years old, but we vegan agriculture and societies only 10 000 years ago.
You see any other species out there changing it,s environment so fast?
Why do you think there is so much mental issues& Doesn't that look like we are not adapted for such a life style.
@@a.randomjack6661 perhaps there has been selection pressure over the past few thousand years from the urban environment for example, making us more docile and obedient to the hierarchical structure of complex societies and to its elite class. Those that did not obey did not get to have so many children, so goes the theory. They hung on the crosses of Rome instead of fathering more kids.

I don't get why people stomp their feet when faced with the facts that we come from other animals. That's very fascinating. I don't see how that reduces our value or importance.
Because the Bible says humans are special, God shaped beings which have dominion over all of the animals.
Because religion is just cosmic narcissism.

*My first homies
He said flat. I heard him.
The first people. Wow.
They weren't "people". That's Homo sapiens.
@ProfessorDaveExplains They were people because they had the creativity algorithm that enabled them to create and transmit memes that were increasingly more complex than the relatively simple memes of their recent merely animal ancestors, at least, that is, according to the theories of David Deutsch. Everyone since these ugly hand-footed guys in your video were people.
