    One of the hypotheses for Neandethal extinction is that they had more difficulty than Sapiens finding enough food during the ice age. Because Neandethals are bigger and much more muscular than modern humans, they require a lot more food to survive, estimated to be between 3,500 and 5,000 calories a day. When resources were scarce in the ice age, the smaller homo sapiens would have had an advantage.

"So much of a human's resources are cultural, alone we are not very smart." That makes no sense. Human intelligence, ingenuity, language, inventiveness, social networking, etc, etc, etc...is UNMATCHED.
      Now Neanderthals were masters of their environments, but they were masters to a fault. Once things began to go bad for them climate wise, and with the advent of modern humans, they were in big trouble, and obviously couldn't adapt to survive long term. There's a reason why Neanderthals(even at their peak) did not expand beyond their cold climate comfort zones, and expand to more places in the world. Modern humans on the other hand, were able to not only expand out of Africa, but go on to populate and dominate every biome we encountered.
      Neanderthals are by far the most popular of the archaic human species. But in the end...they are just one of many archaic human species that didn't survive.

      I watched another show where they attempted to recreate brain maps, using some sort of scanning of fossils, of a Neanderthal to a modern human. If both were adults skulls, the earlier actually wasn't a lower and longer skull. The Neanderthals had larger parietal and temporal lobes, which deal with processing of sensory information and memory. Or, at least the proportions heavily suggested it. Similar frontal lobe size for dealing with personality/higher functioning. No surprise that they were able to develop most of the early tools as well as the first signs of artistic expression.

It's especially the case in cities, where most everyone lives. So, imagine that in 4 or 5 generations, everyone living in a city has died without children. World travel stops. We become farmers again. Maybe there is enough time for speciation then? Maybe not. Give it just a few thousand years of farming and people will make cities again. Only to die out again.

    I think I've worked out what defines us as a species now; we always initially think we're more complex and evolved than other species.... until the evidence tells us that we're just like them. In terms of Neanderthals dying out, can a species that has merged with another really be called dead? I don't consider my great grandparents as extinct as a species, but their genetics merged to create this new combination called me. If they started families and tribes combined with homo sapiens then they probably all stayed together, rather than procreating them leaving their partner to hide under a rock and go extinct.

So sentients. Makes me sad to think we weren't always alone here on this floating rock. We knew them, he have their DNA, so we made families with them and they are gone. Sad.

    I understand that more good evidence needs to be found in the Homo naledi case. But still there is the very good question why did they find Naledi deep in that cave. If Naledi used the cave for shelter, than the remainings would have been found at the etrance. If they used it to store things than that would have been almost impossible to drag back out. So what were they doing there if not doing something that has no practical purpose. Maybe it was nothing that they had invented on their own but copied from other human species.

    I've read about Neanderthals having a distinct RH negative type of blood. Could that be the answer? It would cause them to stay in their own groups. They may have been reluctant to mate with others due to deaths when they went outside of their groups. The Basques certainly have one of the highest percentage of RH negative blood type in the world, as do some other mountain dwellers. IDK It seems logical to me.

    • @TmanRock9

      seems unlikely since the effects of the blood time especially during childbirth seem to miniscule to make a difference. also, when the variation first appeared mating must occur between two people meaning they both wouldn't have had this blood type, and this would have had to occurs often for it to spread to such an extent. so why would it stop them now when it didn't then?

  • @SharonSnow-k1q

    Just want to tell all of you that haven't heard of it because, disappointingly, there are MANY closeminded paleoanthropologists...the aquatic theory of human evolution is something i hope you all research.
    Basics are that the first upright hominids were isolated on an island for a loooonnnngggg time. Like many island creatures we changed. Surrounded by water, they gradually went into the water for food, or relief from heat, or protection from predators. The more daring in the group went further in, harvested more food, perhaps saved youngsters from predators. Point being, those who went in further would, without knowing it, be priming their bodies for going upright. Might have taken thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, but generation after generation, we just naturally stood up in water. The anti-gravity feel of water would have made it easier as time went by. (In my mind the braver went further, brave equals good mate.)
    They probably slept in trees at night, thus the curled fingers and longer arms. I think, personally that that is when we lost our hair, not on purpose, but because it was heavy in water. Less hair equals better survival in water equals better mate.
    IF that was ALL that happened, it would be enough for me, but wait...there's more. We have things the other apes don't, like a thicker layer of subcutaneous fat (babies in particular), we cry salt tears (perhaps to rid excess salt from body), some humans are still born with webbed fingers and/or toes.
    Female sexual organs have shifted just as many aquatic species, we sweat salt, our nostrils are pointing down...and if you...right now...push your upper lip up, it fits right into our nostrils...the apes don't have that. These are just a few of MANY differences that they DON'T teach in our anthropology classes. Second point being...coming down from trees to get the lowest hanging fruit is ridiculous...we already did that. Going upright to look over bushes...already did that. You pick the low hanging fruit and go on about you business on all fours because it's faster.
    The Savannah Theory ...we ate it up because the professors said it, and they are the experts right? ONLY IF THEY ARE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS!!!!!! And how DO they explain our ability to swim and enjoyment of water??? It is not chance that most fossils, indeed most humanity, can be found near water. The MISSING fossils are probably long ago washed away by the sea. Just please check it out on your own...be good scientists and stretch your minds. It's a fascinating theory from the 1960's by a scientist named Hrdy. He was laughed at. Elaine Morgan took up the fight to have the theory recognized. She has a few good books, used on amazon for cheap. David Attenborough has mentioned it as a plausible theory, but what we need is scientists to just THINK on it.
    Going upright was a BAD move, as anyone who stands all day will attest to. Losing our hair, so we had to carry slippery babies was a BAD move. (That some hair was left on our heads, so that babies could hold on themselves in water when hanging on to mom) Thanks for listening to me babble...spread the word...minds are to think with, not shut down others theories!)
    One last thought...the mediterranean was dry for much of 5.3-6mya. Maybe it happened on one of those islands. My money is on Zanzibar and Pemba, islands off Tanzanian coast. ( Almost parallel with the footprints found in Tanzania) Elaine Morgan thinks the Afar triangle. But if minds don't open, we will never get the chance to say "Maybe?"
    Aquatic theory has been the most fascinating theory i've ever ever come across, and it blows my mind that our illustrious professors answer to it is that there is no proof. Love it that you all watched this video!!
    Peace out...✌️

      Well the way you descibe human evolution sounds more like Lamarck than Darwin. Thats not how evolution works. You either have a feature or you don't have it. Variety comes from mutations not from active adaptations.
      And every animal is drawn to water. Its literally essential to survival. We are terribly adapted to spend a lot of time in the water compared to other species. Nostrils pointing down doesn't prevent water going in. Its so we don't put rotten smelling food into our mouths...
      Going upright on two legs was clearly a great success for our species and its also for many birds. No other mammal can breath and run like we can. It made us great endurance hunter. Similar to wolves.
      You shouldn't call others, especially experts close minded, if you don't understand these basic concepts of biology.
