Thanks!
As always, John Hawks delivers. He is the preeminent Paleoanthropologist of our time.
Not a scientist here but...I think I understand a lot more than I did 2 hours ago. Thank you, Dr. Hawks. I appreciate your ability to explain this very complex topic in ways non-scientists can understand and learn from.
Marvelous in-depth conversation. Data rich and nicely assimilable. Great production. Thanks to all.
Thank you! mindandmatter.substack.com/archive?sort=top
This was a great discussion.
@35:30 For example, look at the shape of the head of Nikolay Valuev the Russian boxer, it looks pretty Neanderthal/Denisovan to me
Excellent interview!
As always, John Hawks delivers. He, IMO, is the PREMIERE anthropologist alive today.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have genomics buddy doing most advanced work, with many patents. He says idea of "species" along with other phenotype/non-genomic-based ideas - is inaccurate and an obstacle to new knowledge. 19th century ideas.
We know alot more about the genome now.
300,000 YEO humans in north west Africa, Morocco, likely isn’t the best example of where modern humans evolved at but is where the best examples have been found. Much more will be found. Also west Africa is largely unexplored, and even the best explored places are turning up new fossils as we look closer and without biases. DNA is highly independent active of the bottleneck but not of the larger picture before that bottleneck.
QUESTION:
Are the modern day Africans part of the bottleneck at -70000kyrs?
That has been my understanding until now...
Lee Berger did some excellent work. Unfortunately he let fame get to his head and he stopped doing real science and has now discredited himself. It’s sad to see.
