    Goes to show that skin color shouldn't be an indicator of "superiority" or "inferiority," it just represents how we humans have adapted to different biomes.

    Nice video! :)
    11:16 Wasn't there the coincidence, that all other human subspecies vanished once homo sapiens started to settle near them? Like it strongly indicated that the thing they did not survive were homo sapiens? Not to be prejudgment against our own species but.... *gestures wildly at everything*

    It’s fun to ponder that once upon a time Middle Earth (mediterranean) really was populated by multiple human-like species.

    I absolutely loooove your presentation Dr. Sammy! Such a good host for this series. I wish my biology teacher had been like this back in school. I love that I get to reclaim my interest in learning with crash course that school kinda stole from me.

    This was a good one. I came across an old issue of Nat Geo recently (from 2017) discussing how race has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with social constructs. A lot of the info there on things like melanin and migration was presented here, but the details are better refined now, and it's both interesting and really just NICE to see that we're still learning - and still going in the right direction for a more inclusive understanding of humans.

    This caught me by surprise. Somehow I wasn't really expecting such a deft summation of the latest findings. Or such an engaging presenter. There are some nits I could pick but overall I'd have to say this was pretty awesome! I also have to recognize that I'm already pretty familiar with this subject and I have to wonder what somebody who is new to all this would make of it. Hmmm . . .

    When I first learnt about Denisovian in Asia, and having learnt before about Neanderthal and Homo Sapian it brought to mind the complexity of the reality of the situation. Evolution helps to understand ourselves as well as other species shared traits with us. Evolution is absolutely fascinating, as is nature in general.

    This is an opportunity by the thumbnail designer to avenge historical wrongs, as blck hominids were usually put before human white Europeans. You can see designer's pattern of correct perceived historical wrongs and social reparations in the other thumbnails in the video list of this channel.

      You can actually observe evolution in a lab! While not much with humans, because we live so long, insects with short lifetimes are easy to observe. Thousands of years for us is only a couple for them, so we can better see the changes.
