If you had said this 40 years ago you would have been laughed at. We are still learning so much more and I do wonder what else is waiting to be found or re-analysed!
She needs to be laughed at multiple finds in Europe and Asia show HUMANS 9 million years ago making it absolutely impossible we came from Africa or Ethiopia. And if they existed before us where the PHUCK is WAKANDA. This stuff is racist Anti White Propaganda.
All of the replies here are wrong, nope not a archeologist, but my uncle is, and they've had indications since the 1980s that the homo species is older than thought, and for the fool who said what they did about dinosaurs, archeopteryx fossils were uncovered with feather imprints long before the 1970s, so maybe, you know Google.
Don't put yourself down you have one of the best channels on UA-cam keep on making great video's not only are you are attractive but knowledgeable on your subject
The suggestion that Homo Erectus evolved in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 maybe surprising, interesting and certainly very helpful to Ethiopian national pride; but not mind blowing being that, as far as we know, this was the group of Homo to first leave Africa and spread though out Eurasia. So the move from the Low Lands to the High was just one small step to ever greater moves.
You have no reason to doubt your countenance. It is a joy to see your videos and your take on early mankind. If wishes could come true, my wish would be to have the ability to travel back, and forward through time. (Not beyond my current time.) It would be exciting to see.
Always interesting and fun, evidence constantly changes and keeps this topic always shifting and fascinating. The reason d'etre for homo erectus was thought to be an adaption to the low lands (grass lands) and maybe that isn't so.
No, bipedalism is a lot older, older than hominins, maybe 6-7 millions years. Homo Erectus is all about a powerful and smarter predator than previous Homo.
I currently live at 2000meter elevation, it’s nice here. I can see our 2 million yr old ancestors evolving there. I kinda question the reliability of using polarity reversals for age dating, how well could it be calibrated, but I’m no expert specifically on it. Great topic though 👍
Thanks so much for this update! (making head explody noise here) :) And it's quite an interesting angle, how evolving in the highlands of Ethiopia would suit the species well in migrations to northern locations. The video quality is great. No need to worry about pores. Luckily you don't have a "face for radio" like I do. :D
Thanks for the video. Keep in mind that it only took 12k yrs to go from the stone age to space age. 2 million yrs is a very long time. Fossils are very rare. We need to keep our mind open to very different interpretations
Home erectus, like Homo sapiens, but unlike Neanderthals evolved to be highly flexible in where it could live. This points at an evolution where they did not evolve in a single niche, but rather that there were different groups that exchanged genes. One of those groups lived in the highlands, others in the lowlands.
2,000 meters is pretty high if you ask me. Here in the USA we think of Denver as being high up in the mountains, and that is only about 1,700 meters above sea level. Don't worry, we can't see any pores!
Kayleigh, I wish I had had a teacher like you at any point in my life. You are proof a higher education is not needed for genuinely brilliant people. I can only imagine what you may achieve in this life.
Another timeline shocker! But this is why I tune in to you. You must read non-stop to keep up with the latest news, and it works out for me, because there is just so much stuff coming to light all the time. Thank you for sharing the things you have learned.
The short bit near the end of the video in which you referenced that "all y'all can see my pores..." sounded exactly like a lady from a region in the Southern United States. I'm an expert on this dialect, as I live in the region. I enjoyed the 4K video, and I think your pores are lovely, there's nothing ugly about you, and I wish for you continued success. Your content is amazing, and I look forward to every one. Peace
Amazing video as Keyleighs videos are . And again I get hear Keyleighs wonderfull dutch accent .... There just about that accent that I like. I dont what it is . I have a dutch friend called Marcel. And being friends with him just made me love the dutch accent. So thats why I enjoy Keyleighs accent. Just hearing it brings a smile to my face
This is an amazing find ! The ingenuity of early man never ceases to amaze me ! The video quality was just fine . Have a wonderful weekend , Kayleigh 🌹
i was not surprised we always knew sapiens came down from the trees to walk upright. love the update glad to see the rest of the world catching up lol :D
What an amazing find! As a layman with an interest in paleoanthropology (one that was whetted during my Sociocultural Anthropology education), I've been hoping for a bit more clarity on some of those remains that are variously classified as H. erectus or H. ergaster. Thank you for such a clear and informative explanation!
Great video with lots of info to think about. One thing that is not up for debate is your calling yourself ugly. Your not! Be proud of who you are because you are both smart and beautiful.
I would venture to say they may have lived in both, migrating to and from them to follow animals and maximize gathering. While it may seem like a daunting task, I feel erectus is often underestimated.
Go Homo Erectus! They were much more versatile & even greater adaptive explorers than previously thought 🤯. Once again being astonished by our distant ancestors. 🙏 🇬🇧
Ethiopia is high and dry and bones can easily be found. Wet regions tend to be covered in foliage making finding bones difficult and many bones don’t survive long in wet usually acidic soil. If man had evolved in a wet area it’s unlikely archaeological evidence would be found.
Quite possible that the achulean toolkit did pertain better food preparation and more nutrients. And also clothes. If you live in the Caucasus you would need heating such as fire and clothes. No ape can live in the cold 🐵🥶 without warm springs like they do in Japan. Homo erectus was not an ape but it would have needed warmth in the winter to sustain life on higher latitude.
Ugliness??? I REALLY WAS going to say how GREAT you look. The room is beautiful just like you. The science is changing and "THANKS" for the wonderful report.
aaahh, Kayleigh, darlin'. you've no reason to be fearful. everything looked so good, including yourself. can't wait til next time, gonna watch this one again😊 so, after the second watching, i have gotten the gist.....too busy chattin' before😅 it's not surprising the H Erectus would have traveled far and wide, in a relatively short time. it's a human, if not hominin, condition....curiosity of what's over the next ridge or the other side of the lake or river. which, possibly, led to the invention of water craft; logs, rafts and, eventually, boats....which they needed to get to Java, yes? anyway, the age of their existence in the higher elevations IS mind blowing🤯 they were thriving at a higher altitude than Butte, Mt or Denver, Col, both being mile high cities in the US. granted, the climate was most likely warmer than those, but, they had more primitive housing, clothing and heat sources. ssooo, quite an accomplishment. hokay, i'm done.....for now. sure looking forward to your next video, Klee! B'bye!
Floyd. I’m disappointed. All the travel was not curiosity. They were staying one jump ahead of the bill collectors. These are, after all, our ancestors. Let’s not sugar coat this. Fox out
Very interesting and informative video. I can imagine a species like H. habilis coming to a new climate and, while adapting to it, picks up some new traits that help it adapt to others niches.
Beautiful as always. But i usually watch at 360-line resolution on my cell phone. I'm not seeing any pores. Your content is much more important than the video and audio quality. The improved quality of studio, audio, video, and skin microscopy, are only nice extras added to the amazing content.
I love what you do on your channel. I'm wondering if there might be a way for you to show images of what the earth looked like at the time of your various subjects. I find geology very interesting and I'd love to tie in what the planet looked like two million years ago at the time you are discussing or at any time you are covering. I think it would be very cool to see how Africa was back then. I believe there is a website with a program that can dial in any date and place on the earth. If anyone knows, please comment and inform.
Exactly. Where were continents at that time in relation to each other and the poles and equator. Sea levels, climate, co2, etc... all adds information and understanding.@@kagyu1
Yes, if the prevailing climate at lower altitudes was much drier, the Ethiopian highlands could have been open canopy forest with partial clearings. Ie. Ideal for early hominids to adapt and evolve within and to.
If we keep in mind the oral stories that later evolved into fables like epic of Gilgamesh and story of Genesis while keeping in mind the debated Hebrews if Ethiopia … many things begin to make sense and fall in line
The video and audio quality is perfect! I enjoy your presentation style and humor. The microphone appears to be a bit awkward, I liked the smaller one you used previously.
Is it true to say that we don't really have a theory as to why hominins only appeared in Africa? By which I mean why did no hominins appear anywhere else in the world? ie. we all migrated out of Africa?
Thank You so much, Kayleigh. How very interesting ! Thank you for sharing ! Hopefully, Grade-School teachers EVERYWHERE will see and hear your educational presentations . . . and incorporate them into their CLASSROOM curriculum ! 🎎 👍
Actually, if you look even farther west towards Lake Albert and the Rwenzori Mountains, you could find where the h. erectus line split from the other chimps.
Your Camera seems fine and we can see your beauty in even more detail! I think that all we can say about our peceived timeline for our ancestors is that it is wrong, I am sure as we find more stuff it will get pushed farther and farther back.
I'm curious about something. I'm aware of the human genome and how ancestry is tracked. Some research shows that population shifts analyzed geographically and temporaly. In this video we learn that Ethiopia could be an important part of our origin story. Is this the earliest indication of homo sapien, or is there evidence which predates it?
Higher altitude subsistence would require adaptivity in shelter and food gathering technology to achieve the same level of resource access. Often in the geological and paleontological horizons, it is the outlier populations living in different conditions that manifest the quickest adaption to their new status quo. Colder climates require greater warmth resources; a higher fat diet, the adoption of clothing and the construction of more efficient shelter. Once that new set of skills paradyme had been established, HE would have been enabled to settle the planet once the HE body adapted to the physical conditions. The emerging mental plasticity enables a technology-based adaptivity to outstrip biological adaptivity, making further adaption to be initially dominated by newly invented/discovered artifacts and subsequently by biological modification. From HE to the present, most developments in Homidae have focussed on cortical development. Our modern human body is surprisingly primitive and slow to change when contrasted to the rapid evolution of the brain and neuron network.
With spotty data based on what fossilized and where, and what is accessible now, it makes sense that our assumptions that aren't based on hard evidence are questionable. It's always nice when we learn more, especially when it wasn't expected.
If you had said this 40 years ago you would have been laughed at. We are still learning so much more and I do wonder what else is waiting to be found or re-analysed!

Back then, dinosaurs were slow, dumb, lumbering reptiles. The past isn't what it used to be.

Tim White and Donald Johansson speculated felt humanity originated in afar valley in Ethiopia.

It's interesting that you would prefer to travel to the past. In contrast, I myself would prefer to travel to the future (or rather "a" future).
Nice to see the statues again.
I just have to say thank you. Always something new, and you have given sound theories. Just plain good logical content.
I'm going to look up what the Ethiopean highlands were like back the,
Always interesting and fun, evidence constantly changes and keeps this topic always shifting and fascinating. The reason d'etre for homo erectus was thought to be an adaption to the low lands (grass lands) and maybe that isn't so.
Yes, definitely. They say humans started to walk upright so we could see over tall grass. Maybe not!
No, bipedalism is a lot older, older than hominins, maybe 6-7 millions years. Homo Erectus is all about a powerful and smarter predator than previous Homo.

Your video looks great! New camera did a good job.
Don't worry about what we think of you. We like you and and we love your videos.

Good stuff. I wonder what the oceans, continents, mountains and rivers looked like 2M years ago?
As long as they had a convenient source of water and food, why not? Highland, lowland, both lands at the same general time. No sweat.
Great vid K.
Thank you Kayleigh. I enjoy the way you educate us on old ways of thinking.
Home erectus, like Homo sapiens, but unlike Neanderthals evolved to be highly flexible in where it could live. This points at an evolution where they did not evolve in a single niche, but rather that there were different groups that exchanged genes. One of those groups lived in the highlands, others in the lowlands.

The lady is the Whole Package: Brains, looks and also Funny(and cute) Dutch accent.
I'd laugh my socks off if one day they discover humanity truly evolved here in Groningen ;-)
Looking forward to the vid, Lady K 👍
🌷oet Grun', T.
8:40 The quality is excellent!
You waxed eloquent, your reasoning a pleasure to follow. Good one, Kayleigh!
2,000 meters is pretty high if you ask me. Here in the USA we think of Denver as being high up in the mountains, and that is only about 1,700 meters above sea level.
Don't worry, we can't see any pores!
You present information so simply to enable us to absorb it easily. Thanks for an excellent video.
I think you hit the nail on head ,Kayleigh, food sources in the highlands.
Hello lovely lady! When you mentioned the 4K I went back and changed the setting and watched the entire video in the higher resolution!
Thank for the video.
The very NL reaction to the concept of living at 2000m was quite funny.
Kayleigh you certainly make the mind think outside of the typical realm. I love what you do! keep bringing it.
I love the quality of this video and the sound. Plus I feel this is an important update in the story of human evolution!
I love your presentations‼️In particular, the homo naledi one. Very moving. Thank you and happy birthday 🎉
Such a nice presentation! Thanks for sharing your insights.
Your videos are always interesting and well done, and you're easy to watch too.
Kayleigh, I wish I had had a teacher like you at any point in my life. You are proof a higher education is not needed for genuinely brilliant people. I can only imagine what you may achieve in this life.

Kayleigh said, "All Y'all" --- meaning "Everybody", like a proper Texan ---- I like it when Europeans choose to use our Texas English words !!
Y'all is the all purpose pronoun. It can mean a single person or a group of any sex.
Good afternoon from Copperhill Tn.
This is an amazing find ! The ingenuity of early man never ceases to amaze me ! The video quality was just fine . Have a wonderful weekend , Kayleigh 🌹
i was not surprised we always knew sapiens came down from the trees to walk upright. love the update glad to see the rest of the world catching up lol :D
You’re not even close to being ugly. Absolutely gorgeous for sure🥰❤️
This is incredible. Very fascinating and educational video. Thank you very much for sharing, Kayleigh.
Oh Ms. Kayleigh now that you have better camera 📸 equipment (and much better sound 🔊 equipment ) we can see how much more Lovely you are ❤
Maybe this is why we are so adaptable. :D I am not surprised by their findings at all.

Would the geography been that high that long ago ? Continental drift etc. too. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

My older son married a girl from "the country of Georgia", who he met while travelling there. He is from the "state" of Illinois.
The Eartly Humans evoved at beaches. The lack of fur and feet and hands that have so much surface area make it easier to swin and run on sand.
Yes, if the prevailing climate at lower altitudes was much drier, the Ethiopian highlands could have been open canopy forest with partial clearings. Ie. Ideal for early hominids to adapt and evolve within and to.
Not to be confused with homonym. Nor with homogenous.
I suspect they moved to the highlands as a defense strategy. Easier to see your enemies approaching.
If we keep in mind the oral stories that later evolved into fables like epic of Gilgamesh and story of Genesis while keeping in mind the debated Hebrews if Ethiopia … many things begin to make sense and fall in line

6000 feet elevation near the equator seems like pretty ideal weather. Good for growing coffee beans.
Super cool
Thanks for your hard work! And for saying
"All y'all" that was a heartwarming goofy surprise.

Wow.
What were the differences in tools? And why did they need to change their tools?
Your camera is your friend Kayleigh, it obviously likes you a lot. Good episode, but I must admit I'm more into Neanderthals. They rocked!
I hadn't noticed your hands previously. Nice touch! The new camera, hides no secrets.
I'm curious about something. I'm aware of the human genome and how ancestry is tracked. Some research shows that population shifts analyzed geographically and temporaly.
