What a superb documentary! This is probably the most emotional discovery I have ever seen. Above all, I am glad that Nyah was rescued with much love and tenderness. Welcome to the modern time of our common home, the Earth. ❤️❤️❤️
We Indigenous Turtle Islanders have stories of having to outrun the last ice age. It is said if you didn't move out of its way you froze in place. Here on the west coast of British Columbia we have the story of a great flood and a great whale saved us.
Absolutely not, it is because of males. Females just consumed resources and did menial tasks that would have been a waste of men's time. Just like today.
Incredible. Imagine falling to your death in the dark, feeling the futility, never knowing that in tens of thousands of years time, the purpose of your life was to give meaning to your great 'times 1000' descendants.
Wow.... Just a stunning and fascinating deep dive into the ancient history of Humans in America. Emotional journey of this young Woman and the various important discoveries!
I've seen this video a few times now, i remember watching it years ago & loved it so much..Ill keep watching it for years to come just love PBS & their content....🤯😊😉

I'm having goosebumps aaall the way. I mean, these are the kind of documentaries I love watching. Gosh, I love exploration and finding something fascinating! I hope you upload more of this, PBS!
There I was an hour ago, contemplating on getting myself a bottle of whisky, as I often do on a Saturday night, Then I got watching this fascinating documentary, and I will be watching it again tomorrow, just in case I missed something, Oh" and thanks for saving me 17 Pounds, I could ill afford to spent in the first place. Thank you.
sorry your picture of land bridge wrong . at that time look more like tope going around . plus there was land sea level lot lower in the Pacific. plus lot of wrong about that time and before.
im always interested about history and science. And thanks to Nyah was rescued and gave scienest so much to learn from early people but very sad to what happened to her.
I'm always suspicious when scientists make blanket statements based on one or a few specimens. The way one person looks doesn't necessarily mean everyone looked like that. Having signs of malnutrition doesn't mean all of the people with her were "new" to the area. It means she was. It also could be another sign of abuse that was identified in other areas of her skeleton.
It's interesting that they keep referring to her as a child. In this time, this age, when humans probably only lived to their mid-20s, she would have been considered middle aged. She likely had one, or maybe more, children of her own.
The low average life expectancy was greatly influenced by high infant mortality. Plenty of those who survived infancy would reach their 40s and 50s. A few would reach ages we would recognise as elderly today, depending on the environment they were in and their luck. It's also likely humans developed into adulthood slower than today because of dietary constraint. Only populations with access to as much high energy food as they wanted, for minimal cost in time and effort, would develop physically at the accelerated rate of people eating an industrialised diet.
Hmmm as an archeologyst this documentary is amazing 🥰 the onlie thing i liked to add that being deprived of protein is not always and indicator of a new enviroment. Because maybe in winter they cant get their protein they ate less and were malnourished. But ancient archeology is not my specialty but in later ages that is for sure ☺️
Fun fact. Imagine a sandy beach one mile long that represents earth total history. At one end is the formation of the earth, at the other end is now. Humans have been on this earth the time equivalent of just one grain of sand.
Would have liked to have seen research on the animal bones. When the documentary started,my first thought was this was a ceremonial cave burial. I don’t think Nyah would have been alone in a dangerous jungle. She could have escaped slavery or been shunned. It almost looked as if rope was needed to enter the cave even 13 centuries ago. Did they not say other human bones were there? I must of missed something. Food for thought.
"Funny" how much it looks like some of those alledged space walks, where there seems to be a buble in the air or a reflexion of something, that shouldn't be there aso.. Or the space station clips where an astronot is wearing a harness, or just vanishes, as if it was some green screen trickery..
What do you mean, "always"? Modern human beings first emerged in Africa in the last 200,000 years, and have been migrating all over the world since then.

So the Sibirian tribes are relatives to the Native Americans and they belong to the strong huge Asian family, like Chinese, SouthEast- Asians etc., I welcome the Native Americans to our Asian family!
Science & public opinion can suffer from biases especially from percieved cultural "histories". For example the Maori of New Zealand gets credit of first population but there is evidence of a previous race & their sites are often destroyed or dismissed.There is a real possibility that there was a predecessor before clovis which everyone is fixated on. I look forward to new discoveries myself.
This doco is afflicted by the usual use of constant over dramatic music , the sort that is used in epics, why is it that directors have to accompany every second of footage with doom laden portentous music, accompanied by doom laden voiceovers ? it gets right on my tits. Just because is now easy to add music cheaply from formulaic programs that give you gigabytes of options at your fingertips doesn't mean you have to use them all constantly !!!!!!! The basic rule of filmaking is ' less is more " . Increasingly docos resemble feature films in their choice of music. there must be hundreds of changes in music in this doco and its a merciful relief when the sodding background music stops for just a few seconds.
I think allott of the original peoples sailed to sth. america from the pacific islands Australia. They have found Australian Aboriginal fossils from a cave in sth america, so ice age time line the world looked very different and it would have been not hard to sail, island hop to the americas
These are simply the surviving people of the big flood. The girl like the animals must have fallen into a pit filled with water, covered and turned to stone over time. It is that simple. Now if I was you I would look around the aria for signs of other old bones and arrows because I dont think a girl would have wondered far from home.
@@Matt_Wilson01 sorry if my english is not to your satisfaction, but if this is how you treat people that try to help, scroo you. Hope that was clear enough for you. I can elaborate if you so wish. Spelling corrected
So they found two 11,000 year old infants in Alaska and from that made the leap that it was the same people who originally crossed over 20,000 years ago. Sounds suspect to me. What about the primitive robust skull of the 16 year old girl and others? I'm sure there were different waves of immigrants who killed or drove off earlier migrants, just like how the Inuit replaced the Thule peoples who replaced the Dorset peoples in the Arctic.
Ok the whole time you keep saying that she went in alone????? How can you just ASSUME that???? I'd think that more than likely she'd be in a group!!! Cause they knew better than to go alone!!! You know like after a couple of people getting killed by wild animals and poisonous snakes and spider
So, humans arrived on the American continent 13 thousand to 15 thousand years ago? *BIG DEAL!!!* Australia lays claim to the *OLDEST STILL-SURVIVING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!* Our Aboriginal people have existed on this continent for between 60 and 65 thousand years, that's *SIXTY MILLENNIA!*
@@8698gil American natives(Indians) occupied the American Continent(taking in what's now Canada and the USA) for 13,000 to 15,000 years but Australia's Aboriginal people have inhabited this continent(plus the island of Tasmania) for 60,000 to 65,000 years, that's well over four times the period of Indian inhabitation of the American continent.
its not a fucking competition mate, or are you one of the sort of Aussies that insist that we have to be best at everything , even the age of our ancestors ? " Aw mate, my fucking' ancestors are millenia older than yours, so suck on that yer drongo !"
Not the first peoples black African olmecs were there long before Clovis people stop telling lies.clovis as you call them were part of the Mongolian migration across baring straights 13-16 thousand years ago practically yesterday compared to how long the africans have been there 😢
Science gives the best explanation with the evidence we currently have. New discoveries may add onto an existing theory. Science never stops. There is no "end".
@@butterflyladeda1080 no, not really in comparison to EVERY other race it is minuscule, but if you were being honest and not just a pseudo academic lemming "white man hater", you would admit you already know that, but let's be honest, you don't like facts interfering with your stupid world views.

Nyah died alone 😥..so glad were respecting her today..certainly young girls like her are why we are hear today..
And now she is a part of the reason we know so much more about her people and her time. .. she’s a special sort of time traveller.
Lol here for the young girls

Only one human bone structure? That would take a mountain of faith for any cultural species.
Very articulate. Reminds me of a young George Galloway.
AMAZING HUMANS ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was so interesting
I realized how important water, light, and gps was during the ancient times.
So they weren't interested in that big ass bone above where the skull was? 😅
It was probably a Mastodon, lol. not THAT uncommon.

No

It’s amazing that the lady who originally. Got the bones was unusual that she passed them on to someone else.
