I've heard that humans lost fur to make us more effective at distance travelling and endurance hunting. Couple this with sweat, and we can just keep on trucking
I'll support any aspiring history.... even pre-history lol, creator. I Absolutely devour any and all historical content. Keep on doing this if it's your passion. There's an underappreciated channel called "dig it with raven" basically going over the archaeology side of historical digs, a mash up between your two types of content where you cover what was discovered & they cover how the dig progressed could possibly be an untapped niche of viewers. Well much love man
Thanks so much for the support. That's a really great suggestion. I'm gonna check out that channel and see if I can take some influence from that style.
Ancient mammals didn't just occupy the night, they also explored many of the niches that were available for smaller animals. One idea suggest that dinosaurs (except from some winged species) never evolved a small size because those niches were already taken by mammals (which did not have wings back then). For that reason there was a lower limit for how small dinosaurs could get. And when the extinction event happened about 66 million years ago, all terrestrial vertebrates above a certain weight disappeared.
@@Paleofactus You welcome. Found the article in Scientific American where it is mentioned. Quote: "For the next 160 million years dinosaurs and mammals went their own separate ways, but both were successful. Dinosaurs became giants and excluded mammals from large-bodied niches. Mammals did the opposite: with their small body sizes, they could exploit ecological niches that the bigger dinosaurs couldn’t access. Having attained a competitive edge in those habitats, they effectively prevented T. rex, Triceratops and kin from becoming small. Between 201 million and 66 million years ago, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, a bounty of pint-sized mammals-none larger than a badger-lived underfoot of the dinosaurs."
Especially in very hot climates. Although darker skin can result in Vitamin D deficiency in locations with less sun. That's why lighter skin evolved in the humans that migrated north. So all skin colours are as a result of clever natural selection!
Sunscreen does protect against UV radiation. Not fully but it's pretty significant. And you do grow more resilient to UV rays, for example your body produces more melanin (a tan)
Thanks for pointing that out. I thought that myself, but for some reason it comes up whenever you search Franz greiter. Pretty embarrassing mistake 😂 hopefully no one else noticed lol
I'm from New Mexico, which is basically the Fallout universe. (Bleak deserts, mutant gangs, giant insects, secret government facilities; we've been nuked thousands of times, no big deal) Anyways, I'm White and I don't wear sunscreen but I probably should I just never feel the need to. I work on a farm a few months out of the year and I do wear a cowboy hat, you have to. It's freaking murder, especially at the High Altitude.
I'm not sure what the YECs is unfortunately. I think you could make a strong argument for this being a theory as it's based on evidence (the Somalian blind cave fish). Thanks for the comment and support!
@@Paleofactus Young Earth Creationists. Their catchcry is "It's only a theory!" when discussing Evolution so a lot of time is spent explaining the scientific meaning of theory vs hypothesis as opposed to the street meaning of theory.

That's a good theory. I havent heard that one, but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the comment!

That's a very good point. I spoke negatively of them having to stay a small size but they certainly thrived as small animals. Thanks for the comment.

Now there’s some stuff I never knew before …
I'm glad to hear it! Hope you enjoyed!
That's why being dark skin is better
Especially in very hot climates. Although darker skin can result in Vitamin D deficiency in locations with less sun. That's why lighter skin evolved in the humans that migrated north. So all skin colours are as a result of clever natural selection!
That's why having no skin is better
This was fascinating, I had no idea Thanks I am no longer anti sunscreen.
I still love dinosaurs, nothing will change that!
Thanks for the support!
If you have skin problems, it would be best to use natural sun screen
@@PlanPlan-jo8tz I don't use sunscreen but I probably should. I'm from New Mexico and I work in agriculture
How Long Will This Extinct Great Auk Video Show Up?!
It's on the way mate, hopefully next week ;)
Sun screen only protects against being burnt not uv radiation. With limited exposure we grow more resilient don't we?
Sunscreen does protect against UV radiation. Not fully but it's pretty significant. And you do grow more resilient to UV rays, for example your body produces more melanin (a tan)
@@Paleofactus pretty sure the dwedish radiation agency said otherwise. Or there were no studies at least. 100% sure because it ticked me off
So Franz Greiter is a pseudonym of Charles Darwin and he lived until 1938? Because that's a rather famous picture of Darwin there @3:55
Thanks for pointing that out. I thought that myself, but for some reason it comes up whenever you search Franz greiter. Pretty embarrassing mistake 😂 hopefully no one else noticed lol
Really interesting, I didn’t actually know this !

Great vid but (and I know this is nit picking) can we not use theory when we mean hypothesis? It only plays into the hands of the YECs.
