  • In this video we discuss the archaeological history of one of our oldest human ancestors. None other than Orrorin tugenensis. This ancient hominid existed about 6 million years ago in Africa's Great Rift Valley. Known only from 13 fossilized bone fragments, O. tugenensis shows postcranial evidence of Bipedalism in its highly intact thigh bone. Join me as I tell you everything you need to know about this ancient hominid species.

What I can say is I absolutely love the sharing of information in these videos, this stuff fascinates me and I love how much enthusiasm you talk about the subject with. These all make it very easy to share in the excitement about some bones.

      @@patricklamonica dude chill. It's 2 minutes (13:00-15:00) of a 13 minute video. That's 6.7% of the video that's advert. If we assume you get a worst case scenario of two 30 second unskipable ads at the start of the video that still only gets you to 3 minutes (10%). And I've not seen two 30 second unskipables in a row yet.
      The video is free to watch and high quality educational content
      Freeview broadcast TV where I'm at is limited to 7 minutes per hour, coming to 11.7% of the content. The ads are not skipable and are typically louder than the show meaning they're obnoxious. They're not marked in the programming, and theyre not skipable in any way shape or form. And the content is often low quality.
      So this guy is providing high quality content with less advertisments than TV, you can skip the ad easily enough, and it doesn't blow your eardrums off.
      People need money to have housing and food. The man took an advertisment deal to get that money. He's not advertising a scam or a predatory gatcha game like many UA-camrs happily do. He's just openly advertising a luxury item that he thinks his audience will like. Ideally the advert would be marked, and you can see in more recent videos he has done. In this video it isn't. Cope.
      Do you expect content to be free, high quality and have no ads? That's not reasonable in our current economic system. You need to either pay in cash (ie with a subscription) or your time. And he's charging less time than traditional broadcasters do. I'd say it's a dman good deal on my side of things.

      Howard Stern uses super high compression on his radio talk show, so that he doesn't have to shout and tire out his voice what with recording 4+hours of content 5 days a week. (I'm assuming nothing's changed.?) One time after a fan called in about something on the tech side of radio. He talked about using compression and broadcast a little sample with and without compression on his voice. The quality change; just amazes... like a pro with photoshop, after watching an amateur without much learnin', nor talent... helps push voice volume, but not only. Better Richness, but not quite. Makes the voice sound much more full, and less fluctuations in volume... 🤷

    I just found your channel a month ago and have been working through all your videos from the oldest. I love history with archeology that especially have examples to show (fossils, skeletons, and images we can see of them, etc.) There are not enough people in these fields on social media let alone UA-cam to give more information about specific topics. Especially not any but you that are relatable to current society of people and how we love to learn and will pay attention.
    I did notice you ramped up your shorts which I don’t watch for any channels but in between your large content videos definitely loved you roasting idiots who think if they repeat another person saying something it makes it true or fact when a short google search will result in the truth and facts so they won’t be lying or be left open to be roasted when it’s so easy for you. Keep it up. (Especially when myself doesn’t gave TikTok nor will I ever. Nothing against you at all, love all your content but I don’t see the point to keep having apps that are just a tiny morph of prior existing apps. Being from MySpace as a college student to everything that has come the last decade as I’ve been a grown adult I have found it to be pointless. Have one for intelligent thoughts and discussions, another for images and short video and another for updating a circle of friends and family especially those in other states 3500 miles away in the ocean I can visit yearly but still watch them then their children grow up. They also can see me and talk on FaceTime so when we see each other in person they don’t get afraid that I’m a stranger to hide or cry. Amazingly my mother did this with me as a child in the 80s having 8x10 photos all over the walls and hallway of family I didn’t see often and was never afraid or upset with their visits.)
    Thank you for sharing your TikTok content here for us who can’t see it.
    Keep up the incredible work and information you share with us. Love how many others are interested as well. You’ll see a lot more subscribers and followers as the algorithm highlights your videos and high jumps in followers. Remember just be you and don’t change because that’s why we enjoy watching your content. There’s so many topics for you to educate us on in deep dives.
    Cheers to all your success. 🎉🤙🏼

      Historian - Classic Enfield or BSA. It's got leather saddlebags.
      Geologist - rock-themed obviously. Closest chopper that comes to mind is another OCC bike. The "stealth" hog but its airbrushed rock colours instead. I reckon sandstone

    We need more historians like you in schools. Making learning various subjects fun with a wide variety of not just archeology, but paleontology and similar fields seem much more intriguing other than: “oh, look at this cool building/bone we found.” But exploring the background about the people envolved and commentating on the sometime absurd shit they got into really humanizes them in an entertaining light rather than just facts recorded on paper. Even when you go into the processes of describing how dating works your simplistic graphs providing a basic explanation to those not having a strong grasp on the subject and don’t know the specifics of these processes. I truly wish for your success and not only that UA-cam treats you well with the respect you deserve for your effort but as well as your career of continuously teaching if you choose to go down that path. ❤

    The only skeletal morphometric problem I've seen so far was actually from your last lost lineages episode:
    Sahelanthropus tchadensis' teeth were broad and flat, not long and pencil-like. In the photos shown, I think you mistook the roots of the teeth for the teeth themselves. Its an easy mistake for someone who hasn't spent an inhuman amount of time in human osteology labs. Plant eating mammals grind their food which is why today mammals like horses and cows how such different teeth than what you see in omnivores like us.

Secondly the claws intrigued me, the "monkey walking" is like Giant ant eaters and pangolins. The shovel like jaw will live rent free in my brain for a long time and will probably inspire my art for a while. I wonder if they clamped down on branches and in an upsweep motion the teeth just flossed the leaves or berries off the branches? Odd creature. ^^

    3. Encephalisation
    4. Forward-facing-toes
    5. Strong thumbs

    7. Reduced sexual dimorphism in almost all factors (mass, skeletal robusticity, height, canine size, etc), compared to other Hominids.

      Looks like she's tripled her subs since Milo filmed! She's gonna be another one to watch soar in subs for sure

    Love your content, love that you're improving production value! I immediately noticed how much better the audio was, and cracked up whenever your vest flipped over and the mic moving muffled the audio. Keep at it, you're going to be one of the legends of UA-cam edutainment. Mostly just commenting to say I was here before you hit 500k!

    I followed you just today and I love your content so much I’ve been binge watching your content for like 3 hours

    I got so excited when Lindsay started talking about Chalicotheres - they're so strange and cool. Especially the more "gorilla-shaped" ones, with their super weird skeletal structure... Probably my favourite pleistocene mammal?

    Good job on the #shorts addition. I'm not a fan of it, but you do you. Sometimes there's really no reason to make a full-feature video on something so I understand the motivation for shorts.

    30 minute video and it felt like 5 minute clip. Amazing job once again!

    Finding videos where someone even talks about such things as skeletal morphometrics. It feels good in a way to hear something, nod, recognize, "that sounds like a real thing, yes it does". But still he fully unaware of the greater implications. It is nice.

    I hope in your later years you become a professor. You would be such a great one with your personality and passion. Thanks for the laughs and knowledge!
