We survived because of two big things. Tool use and cooperation. We are hyper social animals and live in groups. A single wild human would die. We don't live alone, though. We cooperate with and help each other. Emotions have existed since the dawn of animals. Rudimentary emotions are how you stay alive. Fear keeps you alive. Pleasure rewards you for doing things that benefit you. Disgust protects you from waste and potentially dangerous toxins.
Your question seems to be more about what we would describe as human emotions or what some would call "empathy/morals."
This is a bit more complicated. We have this really cool party of our brain called the insular cortex. It's what's responsible for making you puke whenever you eat or even think about eating rotten nasty food. It also responds to rotten nasty behavior and is why every language in the world has a phrase like "that leaves a bad taste in my mouth" or "that makes me feel sick." That part of the brain handles both moral and visceral disgust, but it's not the only section of your brain that deals with morals by a long shot.
If we split the brain, we can see the anterior cingulate gyrus. It activates the exact same way if we get hurt or watch someone else getting hurt. It's a major control center for empathy and the foundation for almost all human morality. There's a catch, though. Humans are tribalistic animals, so it doesn't work nearly as well when we are exposed to the pain and suffering of someone for a different race, for example. More and more studies are showing that the more we expose ourselves to different races and nationalities, the more we start to see those people AS people. It's why social media and diversity have been so important for us as a species.
Life is chemical reactions, though. Every biological process is just a chemical reaction. Everything you've ever done, said, thought, or felt at its most fundamental level is just a chemical reaction. It's just chemistry. Your life is just your metabolism.
It's your catabolism breaking down old molecules and your anabolism building up new molecules, the sum total of which is your metabolism. It gives you the energy you need to live. The only difference between this chemistry and the chemistry in a jar in a lab is that what happens in a jar is a closed system, and our body is not. It's why it can fight up against entropy without violating the second law of thermodynamics. Life is just chemistry. We have all kinds of chemicals in nature or made synthetically that alter how your brain chemistry works and, therefore, alter your moods. Other animals have similar or even the exact same chemicals that can do the same for them.
The origins of "morals" in humans can date back a long time. We have a Homo erectus skull from 1.7 million years ago found just north of Turkey in my lab. The first thing you notice is that he doesn't have teeth, and the sockets are all filled up. This means he lost his teeth LONG before he died. The only way this old man could have survived is if he had a family and community to make sure he had soft and mushy food, extra warmth at night, and special care. This skull proves that kindness, compasion, and love were around over a million and a half years before our species even evolved. We evolved with our morals. We evolved with compassion and learned more from our parents as they raised us. It's part of being human. It's also not unique to humans. It seems to be a social mammal trait. Elephants mourn when a member of their family dies. They will traval miles to gather around the body to mourn together. We have even seen herds stop and gather around a random dead elephant or even just a skeleton to seemingly pay respects and brush it with their trunks. Herds slow down to accommodate and protect their elderly as well. Wolves prioritize the care of their elderly, very similar to humans, as we both thrive off of harmony and ritual. Similarly, African wild dogs will care for their elderly or disabled. Members of the group have been shown regurgitating food for a member if resources allow. The elderly will often care for the young while the pack goes off to hunt. In bonobos, we have seen elderly females not being able to get water, so members of her group will fill their mouths up and bring it to her. Even cetaceans like dolphins and orcas have been seen supporting sick or weak members of their pod by literally working together to get them up out of the water to breathe. Not to mention, the reason mass beaching happen is often because they hear a call for help and all rush towards it, ending up on the beach.
This all does greatly depend on the animals. Elephants are very large and can afford to slow down movement. Wolves are top predators and live in large packs so they can afford to care for kin. Many apes, including humans, have similar large groups, have trees for protection, and have big brains to avoid predators. Gorillas, on the other hand, are ground apes. They do not have the luxury of trees for safety or slowing down to aid elderly. Predation is too harsh. Solitary animals, of course, never usually see their parents or other family, though tigers have been shown to have nuclear family structures for a short time. Some species that follow a dominant male/female do take care of kin, but the dominant does not. He is responsible for protecting their land, so the other members generally are the ones who care for the injured or sick. Lions have even been shown grieving the loss of a family member by crying out in pained roars. Dogs, cats, and deer do this if you've ever seen one hit by a car. They stay with their hurt friend/family for a long time. Also, some animals do not take care of the members who leave, be it the males or females. Those members leave when sexually mature, so there's no way of them being taken care of.
Back to humans, we have fossils showing pretty serious injuries that are fully or nearly healed before the individual died. This shows they were taken care of by their family. Neanderthals have plenty of individuals live into their 40s, which was extraordinarily difficult for the time. We see Australopithecines with broken bone recoveries. We see plenty of skeletons with even physical disabilities that lived into their teens. Skeletons with awful wounds that were healed long before death. This is an extremely interesting topic that is very well understood. Sociobiologists do all kinds of research alongside neurologists and psychologists, among other fields.
Thank you so much for answering all my question!🥹 I read your reply and I felt like my brain got bigger ahahah. And about the emotion part I was so certain we didn’t but you clarified for me that they did, which is crazy! thank youuu!:))
@@Techbunny-x We also survived because we can sweat. Honestly. See, by sweating, we can keep our bodies cool, and not overheat during exertion. Most animals either can't sweat, or only sweat in certain areas of their bodies. This meant that, while we couldn't run as fast as other animals, we could run for a lot farther distance.
Imagine being an antelope on the savannah. You see a strange, hairless ape starting to run at you. You sprint away, and get away, so you stop to rest. Wait, there they are again! Run away again. Stop to rest, and there they are again. Eventually, you are still so exhausted you can't sprint much anymore, and that ape is still coming. With nothing left in the tank, you collapse, and the last thing you see is that ape, a sharp rock in its hand. The early humans will eat well that night.
@@Valandar2 There are ambush predators and there are pursuit predators. Then there are humans and canines, we use persistence hunting and run the prey into the ground.
@@Annaireo And there we have the reason canines became in a very meaningful sense man's best friend, it's not just a silly idiom. Both us and them are social animals, and both persistence hunters, them with sharper senses, us with the intelligence to make greater use of it to benefit us both. It was a match made in heaven.
@@Techbunny-x If you're interested in prehistoric morality, I suggest you react to the video "Disabilities in Prehistory" by Trey the Explainer
Found new vtuber for collection
Gotta collect them all?
You should react to the history of japan by the same guy. Also cute model + cute voice
29:30 Hitler was a conscript during the first world war and he was furious at Germany's humiliating defeat at the hands of the allies. The art school thing is a bit of a meme. I did happen, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the main reason why he became a Nazi and plunged the world into chaos.
Hitler was always a bit of a mentalist, (mostly due to being raised in an exceptionally abusive home,) but being wounded in the trenches and being forced to sit out the rest of the war in a field hospital is what tipped him over the edge into absolutely bonkers.
About the nukes... First, we still did not actually understand fallout and radioactivity at the time. Second... there were far more deaths in things like the firebombings of Tokyo and Dresden. The only thing that made Hiroshima and Nagasaki more shocking at the time was that it was a single device each time. And we did it twice, because the Japanese military told the Emperor, "They can only have one of such a weapon!". We dropped the second, and the Emperor intervened, and said, "We are surrendering." This would not have happened if conventional means were used, and the death toll could have been utterly horriffic. In Okinawa, for example, civilians were killing themselves rather than be in occupied territory, because the Japanese government had told them that Americans would torture and murder them anyway,
Keep in mind the Japanese military probably believed we would do that because it's what they did everytime they invaded someone also to this day every purple heart given out in the U.S. military was made in preparation for the invasion of Japan.
At the time it was just another weapon. Why was leveling a city with one bomb so much worse than doing it with hundreds?
A normal bomb run at that time took dozens to hundreds of planes dropping thousands of bombs. It will only take a fraction to flatten half the country. Nukes are cool.
Up until a few years ago every single purple heart medal (wounded/killed in combat) was made for tge invasion of the Japanese hone islands. Over 1.5 million American lives were expected to be killed or wounded. And that's on the low end. Nukes are horrible yes. But 300,000k over 1.5 million and untold number of Japanese? I'll take that deal. Alot if people are gonna die regardless. Make it tge smallest number possible. Nukes were the smallest.
@@ericweston7353 Because imagine what you could do with hundreds of bombs that can level a single city?
I get what youre saying but the sad thing is Japan would never have surrendered normally. Ive visited Saipan, there is literally a "suicide cliff" where all the Japanese, including the non military jumped off the cliff to avoid capture. Its postulated Japan would not have surrendered without a homeland invasion and many millions more deaths. Its built into their culture that surrender is a loss of honor and honor is everything in their culture.
One of those morally gray decisions that nobody really knows what the right decision was.
Thats false, pure speculation about something that never happened to make americans feel better
The truth is you dont know what would have happened
Saying the bombs were necesary is just hard coping with the truth, wich is the US army performed one of the worse acts of terrorism in human history
We literally told them to surrender 3 times. We told them about the nuke, they refused. We dropped one nuke, they refused again believing we didn't have a second
Humans were able to survive due to the fact that we're generally smarter than most other animals, and also that we are the highest running endurance predators on the planet, meaning that we would literally run our prey down until they collapsed from exhaustion or died, and then we would knock them over the head, kill them, and eat them. Humans are terrifying, honestly. My guess is that equines, like zebras and horses, evolved as the highest running endurance prey animal specifically to be able to outrun humans as they evolved in the same area.
There was no plan, Ghengis just loved *the act*
17:06 Well, Greenland was named such partly for marketing purposes to try and draw more settlers and partly because it was actually fairly green at the time. I'm not sure how iceland got the name, though.
18:29 Gunpowder was invented in China by alchemists trying to figure out an elixir for eternal life.
23:03 For a long time, monks and churches sold what were called "Indulgences", that were, basically "pay us a large sum of money or goods of equivalent value and we'll dedicate some of our prayers to getting you forgiveness for your earthly misdeeds so you can get into heaven without having to actually do anything for it". This made the church fabulously wealthy and lead to all kinds of corruption.
24:25 By having a fuck-off huge navy and lots of mercenaries.
25:35 Haiti is the only recorded instance of a slave rebellion successfully throwing off it's shackles and establishing a successful new government.
29:22 It is a long series of events that aren't all apparent. But, the super simple, slimmed down version is that he was a mediocre painter in Austria who failed to get into art school and so joined the German Army during the first World War, had a not so great time there, worked for the German government and got sent to spy on one of the various radical political groups, ended up getting radicalized, got sent to prison after trying to overthrow the government, then became a politician and got himself elected into power, and then proceeded to push his radical ideology and use that and the pain and shame of the German people after being forced to pay massively unfair reparations to fuel his desire to take over the world. Or at least all of Europe.
31:10 Japan's involvement in WW2 stems largely from two reasons. One, they needed resources. The main islands of Japan aren't particularly resource rich, especially oil, rubber and iron. The US had put Japan under an oil embargo for the previous several years (because of what they were doing in China) and their reserves were running low. The other reason being that while Japan was an ally of the British in WWI, and helped win the war in several small ways, they were not treated with the respect they felt they deserved at the negotiating table after the war and so they felt betrayed.
If you are interested in more history videos, Suibhne and his Animated history of countries are fantastic, out of which I recommend the Animated History of México being my country and all, but there's also the one on Argentina, a country your country was at war with at some point, so that may be interesting. If you're interested in whacky history bits, Sam O'Nella is also a nice channel to check out.
Great video! I love how interested you are in learning new things! On the topic of nukes and the Cold War, Emplemon has a phenomenal video on the subject called "there will Never Ever be a man as powerful as Stanislav Petrov". I recommend checking it out!
Bill: “Society~”
Me: “ah yes. The beginning of all our problems”
Yes, Christians were persecuted, both by local pagan waves of civilians, and concerted efforts by emperors like Nero and Diocletian. Often this lead to execution of Christians. Don't feel too bad about it though. A lot of the time the Christians were really into it.
The Roman Empire was during the 4th century divided into two adminstrative regions in order to manage increasingly difficult situations. The West Roman Empire, with its capital Rome, and the East Roman Empire, with its capital Constantinopel ( present day Istanbul ). When we say that the Roman Empire fell in Europe, we mean the West Roman Empire. The East was still fine for another millenium or so. In history class, the East Roman Empire past the fall of the West is known as the Byzantine Empire
China was the first to invent gunpowder, but it was in Europe, particularly in the Late Medieval Age and onwards, that first saw its extensive use in warfar and advanced development in technology and tactics.
Why did the Ottoman Empire ban Christendom from the spice trade?
Remember those crusades from earlier?
There is a pair of Oversimplified videos on Hitler's background. You might want to check them out if you are interested in how he turned out the way he did.
Also, to be clear. Christians were persecuted not because they were Christians (at least not at first), but because they refused to acknowledge the official gods of Rome. Monotheism was illegal, not Christianity.
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to explain it to me:) you answered a lot of my questions💚
@@Techbunny-x No problem! I enjoyed your reaction and find history fascinating, so I don't mind providing explanations to the best of my ability. I encourage asking questions, because that's how we learn new things.
@@Annaireo I mean that is what being in religion is you have to refuse other gods
@@mranonymous00 No? That's a monotheistic religion, but not religion in general. Rome (and the Greeks that they "copied") were polytheistic, meaning they had many gods. Now you could have a "main" god that you revered, but you still recognized that there were others.
The English accent reduces the cringe.
The nukes were a mercy. Compared to the bombings of japan before them. Millions of cilivans died long before the nukes were ever even an idea. And the if america decided to invade instead. Millions more would have died and the war would have lasted at least two more years.
A mercy is a bit of a simplification. Radiation death is almost certainly the most painful death imaginable. The things that happened in the days and weeks after the atomic blasts are, in my opinion, the most horrible events to ever take place on this earth. Death by radiation is uniquely cruel and agonizing beyond all imagining. It’s your body rotting away while your heart and brain are spared, so you get to experience every painful moment with perfect clarity, as your non functioning dna causes you to unravel into a bleeding pile of rotting flesh.
It was estimated an invasion of Japan would have caused around 1.5 million Americans casualties and tens of millions of Japanese casualties. both Nukes killed around 210,000 people. The American operation was operation downfall, and The Japanese operation was Ketsugo. It would have essentially been the US slaughtering men, women, and children with spears and any other weapon they could get ahold of considering Japan only had enough supplies to properly equip around 1.2 million of its soldiers (by 1945 Japan had a military of 6 million). All men in the country were going to be conscripted from the ages of 15-60 and all women 17-40 were going to be forced into the military to defend Japan with swords and spears. You should react to this video about it--ua-cam.com/video/8FAS2kjrgP8/v-deo.html
Fun fact: America first considered nuking Kyoto, because that was, at the time, the cultural capital of Japan and would have effectively crippled not only Japan, but their culture for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, America specifically searched for two cities that would maximize the death toll of civilians (their definition of "military target" was loose enough so that basically all of Japan and Germany were considered viable targets). It's also worth noting that America provoked the war in the first place, so, if we remember these facts, it changes the entire dynamic behind the discussion around the morality of dropping nukes and suddenly the argument of "it killed less that a land invasion would have" feels totally hollow and falls completely and utterly flat.
Although the USAmerican narrative claims that "nukes won the war", the fact is that Japanese sources themselves put far more emphasis on the loss of Manchuria and the possibility of a Soviet occupation of Hokkaido. The idea of a "North Japan" that wouldn't be allowed to honor the emperor is frequently cited as a decisive factor in the Japanese surrender.
Robert Pape writes: "Japan's military position was so poor that its leaders would likely have surrendered before invasion, and at roughly the same time in August 1945, even if the United States had not employed strategic bombing or the atomic bomb."
@@jeffrepac8197 oh, yeah, that's right, I forgot about that part as well. The decision to drop the nukes was actually an attempt to flex on and scare the Soviets and a reaction to a fear of a Soviet Japan, too. That changes the dynamics of the discussion even moreso against America.
@@jeffrepac8197 The Japanese government feared the soviets while the Japanese military feared the US. The Japanese government feared the soviets because they knew they would all be executed or sent to hard labor camps. The Japanese military was being completely destroyed by the US, reaching Okinawa and then the US started to firebomb their wooden cities, then eventually dropping the atomic bombs. Japan would have been crushed by the US even without the soviets invading Manchuria, but the Japanese government didn't want to surrender to the soviets. So no, the soviets were not the cause of Japan's defeat but rather Japan did not want to risk getting split similar to Germany and having their emperor executed. The soviets would have also had their way with the Japanese women and girls similarly to what they did to the 3 million German women and girls (soviet soldiers did it in Manchuria as well with the most famous incident being the gegenmiao massacre).
@@theviledelinquent3920"America provoked the war." Please tell me how Japan attacking us unprovoked at Pearl Harbor=us provoking the war?Am I missing something here?
The problem with the way people think of the nukes is that everyone conveniently forget that Japan was multitudes more evil than Germany. If you need an example look up Unit 731, the Japanese empire was an existential threat to the entire world. Luckily the US helped Japan rebuild after ww2 which helped them rebound at an astonishing rate, which helped them avoid the route Germany went down after ww1.
Nah. They just dont care because japan is so far away

You might want to check out "History VS." by TedEd. It's this really informative and funny series where they "put historical figures on trial." They argue whether our current perception of them is actually right. it's very interesting.

Funny commentary but considering the recent history, you actually could think westerners have invented bombs :D
Hitler being rejected from art school is very overplayed as a reason for founding the Nazi party. If anything, his experiences as a soldier in WW1 were much more foundational. WW1 was absolutely the worst war that had ever happened in the entire world at the time, and it was especially hard on the immense masses of young men drafted for it (and of course also the civilians who lived in the hottest zones of the conflict).
The majority of the war, save for the earliest phases, was largely characterized by an until then unbelievably bloody war of attrition in which soldiers were literally ordered to run at machine guns in open terrain so that after the majority of them had been mowed down by machine gun fire - an until then unseen method of killing - a few of them might sneak through to kill the machine gun operators with grenades and bayonets. It was a charnel house, and the people who went home afterwards were often too infirm and traumatized to be reintegrated in society - especially since the majority of European states at the time still very much operated on the old military doctrines that viewed soldiers as essentially expendable conscripted peasants, nothing but numbers that highborn generals could cross off a document in order to move dots on a map.
And when soldiers literally went on strike (as happened in Italy after the defeat at Caporetto, which actually was welcomed with joy by the farmers' sons who made up the army, because to them it meant the war that they had no interest in or reason to want to fight, was finally over), high society got REALLY pissed at them, and were out for blood and to pin the nations' defeats on the stupid peasants who just didn't have the decency to go and die for the motherland.
Yes, most people share genes in common with Genghis Khan XD
Techbunny, this is VERY important for a new content creator to keep in mind: the audience reflects the streamer. If you have controversial opinions, your only options are to hide them or own them.
If you try to please everybody, you'll end up pleasing nobody. And the type of viewers who try and tell the streamer what to do are NEVER going to be satisfied no matter how much you capitulate.
Reach out to Ironmouse, Nux, and the other pillars of the vtuber community who've made a name for themselves helping newbies get started. You might not be able to get their direct attention, but just watching their clips that talk about fan interactions will give you some valuable context.
You have a great model, and a great voice, and your personality seems really sweet.
@@RolandOnnaRiver thank you so much! That really means a lot hearing that🥹 I’m always quite scared of saying the wrong things and stepping on peoples toes with my opinion, but I’ll try my best to change it💚
@@Techbunny-x And don't just take my word for it, google it. Do your own research.
There's a nugget of the real you inside the character you play. That's what the audience in here for.
But staying safe online is all about maintaining a wall of best practices to keep you safe and sane, so that authentic voice inside you can remain free.
Know your limits, set your boundaries, and speak your truths. It's a balancing act, but if you look to successful vtuber's videos about past encounters with fans, controverseys, death threats, corporate overlords, etc, you'll start to see the overall patterns and hopefully find your way. You'll get better at it with experience.
Oh, and I just remembered. FalseEyeD's vtuber news channel, Things Vtubers Say, is also a pretty good resource. Not so much for advice, per sey, but for case studies of what can happen, what worked, and what didn't.
Uhh… Nux is NOT a content creator you want to emulate.
Nux is not a pillar of the vtuber community by any means and as a content creator he has a lot of baggage and tons of haters, so not really good for helping new content creators.
It's perfectly normal to feel bad about what your country has done in the past, no country is free from any sins of their past. It's only bad if you blindly idolize it and convince yourself your country has never done any wrong while rejecting and dismissing all evidence to the contrary thrown in your face.
It always makes me laugh when people from Britain criticizes, or acts like America is the most evil country in the world, when at one point, they owned like half the world, and did some pretty horrendous shit. Like my country isn't perfect, but it's really rich coming from the colonizing capital of the world. I don't want to just hold the bad parts of history against a country, because it's reductive, but it's really easy to do when you try to insist that your country is "soooo much better than yours." Like, really? Are you sure YOU have any right to say that?
If you like bill wurtz harmonies and singing, you should listen to one of his songs. I recommend mt. St Helens.., here comes the sun, and might quit.
I’d give it a try when I have time:)

So to answer your question of how we survived. Someone already brought up the fact we live in groups, used tools, cooperation, and are hyper social which is all true but another point is our intellect and ability to learn is faster than any other species on the planet. Not to mention that humans at peak condition have so much more stamina than any other animal on the planet and can still run close to 30mph(about 42km/h). So for example, a deer might run faster than us if we were chasing it but we would eventually still catch it because we can that much longer we can run than them. This is because humans have much more sweat glands and less fur to trap the heat in so we don't overheat as fast as other mammals.
Wow I actually didn’t know that! That without are stamina we wouldn’t be here

If you're travelling to the particular moment the video's paused at? Prolly not the best moment.
In fact, if you're traveling at any point in time before 350 million years BCE, you're prolly just gonna wind up seeing a barren, slimey rock with a nigh-unbreathable atmosphere.
Not going to lie, when you know the actual context behind all of these events, this video is absolute dogshit. It just lists the things that happened without explaining the reasons or very poorly. It's still entertaining to watch but it's nowhere near anything educational.
I think this video is not for you man. If you thought the history of the world I guess was going to give you a iota of context under 30 or so mins then, I dont know what to tell you. Think of it this way, it outline some events of history and if part of the this outline interest you, then you can satisfy your curiosity by zooming in on the details.
@@MrDredme No, you don't get it. I love that video, it's a classic. it's just that she said she wanted to learn the history of the world, that's not this video's purpose.
The video's purpose is to entertain, not teach, therefor it has to purposefully get things wrong/simplify them to a level that makes it so it sounds really dumb even when it was a perfectly reasonable decision in order to entertain.
To be fair, there was no need for Japan to show up and attack Pearl Harbor. Nagashima was a message.
If you want to learn more about H-man's early life, the channel 'Oversimplified' has 2 great videos about it.
Though they may be blocked in the UK... : /
I think the movie Hitler: The Rise of Evil is a much better choice to learn about him.
