Could there be a discovery made in the near future that rewrites the entire history and perception of the human evolutionary timeline?
This is a question that has plagued me since i started to research the human evolutionary timeline.
Is it possible that 1 single discovery changes everything so drastically that we can no longer accept the current believed theories?
We might find one of the ghost species that we know have existed because we have found traces of their dna within our genomes in modern times.
We might find an entirely new up until this point unknown species that changes everything we thought we knew about evolution.
We might find new evidence on already known species that changes everything we thought about the capabilities of ancient species and how we have perceived them up until now.

I imagine this topic is very tricky, because our history is based on things that are being discovered as time goes on, and they are based on very small things, spread over very large parts of our world, therefore I don't have any doubt you are right, our history is not set in stone yet... great video! ...
Kayleigh, your love of history and paleo anthropology is contagious. Thank you you sharing you wide ranging discoveries and information. As to the question you raised in this video, “one big discovery that changes everything we think we know”. I’m of the belief that historical knowledge is like frog in a pot of water. Add heat gradually to the pot and the frog will allow itself to be boiled to death. Through the frog in a pot of boiling water and it will jump to safety. Historical know seems more like a gradual process that rarely catches the public attention. Eventually, we look back and realize how much our beliefs have evolved. There have been a number of wonderful and revolutionary discoveries that you have already highlighted in your videos. When those discoveries are added to the collective knowledge it becomes apparent that our core beliefs are evolving in ways we hadn’t anticipated. It’s not the single discovery that changes everything we thought we understood but the cumulative growth in knowledge that has the greatest impact on our beliefs. Thanks again for sharing your research with us.
Absolutely history is there for further discoveries and hence rewriting! Whenever modern human gets a little arrogant about their place in history our ancestors always seem to pop up and correct our thinking! That aspect I find fascinating
I enjoy when a human ancestor turns out not to be as primitive as we thought. Sometimes, we homo sapiens think entirey too much of ourselves and need a reminder that we're not "a that".
@@harrietharlow9929 I totally agree! Homo sapiens need putting them in their place from time to time!
The question you raise is very interesting Kayleigh! As a final year Paleoanthropology student I've often asked myself the same thing. Not only do I think it will happen, but I am convinced it will happen sooner or later. Especially with the advances in space exploration, I think finding bones on Mars or elsewhere in our Solar System that share human DNA would definitely be a major breakthrough!
If bones containing human DNA were found on Mars, that would be the grandaddy of all game changers. And I don't think that's impossible. There are some who beieve Iife may have been seeded from Mars via meteorites--after all, we know meteorites from Mars have made it to earth. The Shergotty Meteorites are a case in point. others think life was brought here purposely from Mars. I don't think we'll know unless and until we get boots on the ground on Mars.
And I think paradigm-shifting discoveries will be made right here on earth.

@@moodist1er Don't clown the lady. It is certainly possible, no matter how outlandish it sounds.
Of course, the odds that the "oldest" example we have discovered of stone tools are actually the oldest stone tools to have ever been made, are extremely slim.
I had the chance to discuss this same Information with my grandpa just recently. He grew up a fairly staunch Catholic and went to a Catholic boys school but he was a huge fan of Dr. Leaky their discoveries that were published in magazines. I was sharing with him how many new discoveries since just 2013 when I graduated high school. He was floored at how diverse everything is and how there’s still so much to discover. It’s weird coming out of a “young earth” view to find such a diverse and rich world. I’m currently studying anthropology at the local community college and it’s been such a wonderful course! I’d encourage anyone to take at least a 101 class to broaden how you perceive people.
Yes, I enjoyed watching! Strange, I have an abbo and didn't get the 'meldingen'for the last year. But now we are back! You got so far since the first vid's, with you on the couch with the cats (I'm so happy the cat cam into the video as well today).
To answer your question: YES., we learn so much more every day, mont and year about the history of humankind and our planet. On the radio today (january 4th) was an item about how the Neanderthaler did haunt the biggest elephants that ever existed, by luring them in a swamp: that requires phantasy and strategic thinking. Neanderthalers weren't stupid!
I love the old history, but there is also so much to dicover in the recent history. We have also a prjudice about the 'Middle Ages' (500-1500 after Zero) being 'dark' and 'stupid'. But the Visigoths got a high culture in Spain, and also the Cordóba Kalifate flourished. The Mongols had their TENGRI believes about harmony with nature and living with other peoples (after they beat them in battle), the Imazighen culture is also so old and highly developed; Lithuania was a haven of religious free thought (that's why the Jews settled there).
I always learn more, every day (perhaps I could tell about that on my own YT-channel).
Thank you for your history lessons. I will endorse them through my Facebook account of Filosofe Café Hoorn.

Excellent! What I learned about paleo anthropology in the 1960s has been revised many times since then. History, as well, is a constant voyage of discovery. I recall an old cartoon: “ if you want to change history, become an historian.” An open mind is the sharpest tool of use to historians. Keep up the good work.
My bioarchaeology professor has asked me to make an updated lecture for Homo naledi for his human evolution class (and guest lecture the class on it). So excited to show this updated info to students.
Wow! Thank you Kayleigh, for the update on the discoveries of the past Decade. Not being a graduate, I don't have the intellectual ability to be able to challenge your statements, but as it is, I have always held reservations about the Evolution of our Planet and the Human Race. I suspect, that we have only scratched the surface of what is hidden from view, under millions of years of sediment and that sooner or later, we will have to completely change our views on Human Evolution; especially as Scientific Advancements produce even better Instruments to determine such things as Ancient Genetics. As a man of 75 years, I doubt that will happen in my lifetime, but hopefully, it will happen in your lifetime.
I'm 70, but I hope to see a few discoveries made before I pass on. I imagine that Kayleigh wi witness a ot of changes in her lifetime.
@@harrietharlow9929 I'm over 70 and agree!
@Russ Betts Count your blessings that you're not a graduate (like Kayleigh)... because you'd be infected with pseudo-science also. She, like many, if not all, graduates who have earned a sheepskin, are locked in to a belief system which they find virtually impossible to rectify.
She's wrong on so many levels, if you follow her religion, (Because science is now religiously believed) you will be wandering, and wondering, aimlessly too...😉!
@@TomTwain A Christian college philosophy course, posited the idea of "Pre-Adamic Men," thereby allowing for evolution of Homo Sapiens from earlier species.
Unfortunately due to geographic and environmental factors, plus simple probability, fossil records will always be incomplete. A good example of this is the Cat-Gap. During the 7 million year long Cat- Gap there are almost no known cat fossils, despite cats existing before and after the previously mentioned time frame. Humans, and other primates have strong preference for warm, tropical environments, such environments are bad for fossilization. So we must have many missing fossil species of apes and humans, that may never be known to science.
Something you said in this video has given me a new outlook. You mentioned that Naledi had a brain size smaller than a chimp's but that they had control of fire. I take that to mean brain size might not be as important in brain performance as I previously thought.
🤔That's why my 175 lbs Saint Bernard who's brain is the size of a softball, can't outsmart and is pushed around by my 4 lbs Chihuahua who's brain can probably be carried in tablespoon.😉
Smartphones are smaller than commodore 64s after all
You should see how my friend's cockatoo outsmarts and bosses around his German shepherd (who's no dummy).
"Should We Rewrite The Story Of Humankind?"
Yes... periodically... ;)
Yes! With these discoveries you have noted, plus one more *BIG* one, may let the whole list fall into place in a new coherent way. Looking forward to it!!
I'm with you on the new discoveries. In fact I believe that a statistician could calculate the odds of, and the effect of, potential new discoveries if they knew the explored sites vs potentially explorable sites, including under the seas and oceans.
I would hazard a guess that only a very tiny percentage of discoveries have been made to date
I share your passion for evolution and history and love the programs you make and find you so charming. Its a pleasure to Watch and always wellpresented and throughly studiet . Thank you for making it more available since im ill and do not have time and energy to dig so deep myself so i deeply appriciate you and a few others like you whom make it more asserbly to the rest of us
I’m so grateful for you, and your interest in history ❤ congratulations to you and Kevin 🤙
With that huge number of well preserved Naledi teeth and Lee Berger's recent trip to Copenhagen this video sounds like the perfect prelude to a genetic discovery linking Homo Sapiens to an archaic population. Perhaps Mbuti pygmies are descended from Naledi? Or maybe the ghost DNA in West Africans is related to Naledi? This video is a great primer for the future, Kayleigh!
We are all Africans !!!
@@SebastiaanHolStadsgids I believe that, but many think the Out Of Eurasia theory is more plausible. If you have to search Highly Compelling and check out his latest video including my rebuttal. Africa is the cradle of Homo Sapien origin, friend.
Yes, we've changed our understanding of human history within my memory, if only the fact that Homo sapiens did, in fact, interbreed with Homo neanderthal, and often enough that it makes a noticeable (albeit tiny) contribution to the genetic makeup of modern populations. Likewise Homo denisova.
But there could easily be something much, much, bigger that is found tomorrow, and becomes generally known and accepted within a few years amongst the lay population who doesn't really pay attention to these things.
While not directly in *our* line of descent, three other massive changes that percolated from the scientific community into the general awareness during my adult life show just how profound these sorts of discoveries could be.
1. The Alvarez Asteroid Theory of the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs at the K-Pg Boundary was only published in *1980* , and the Chicxulub anomaly was only published as an impact crater (as opposed to a lava dome... and identified as occurring at the K-Pg Boundary, in *1991* ). What was completely unthought of before 1980, and widely rejected before 1990, has been internet meme-worthy since the first internet memes.
2. The acceptance that many, if not most, dinosaurs were warm blooded and active creatures, rather than sluggish giant lizards. While proposed at the end of the 19th Century, and reproposed in 1968 by Dr. Robert Bakker and colleagues, the idea of dinosaurs as cold blooded reptiles persisted into the 1990s.
3. The idea that birds *are* dinosaurs (maniraptors, specifically), and most (potentially all) of the coelurosaurian dinosaurs were feathered - something not even fully accepted by the scientific community,, much less the general public, in the 1990s when Jurassic Park came out. Now, of course, it's meme-worthy, which is a good indication it has fully taken root in the general public. (Fun fact: from a cladistic perspective, this reorganization of Aves into being a *part* of the dinosaur lineage either than a class in its own right, means that either birds are reptiles or crocodiles and turtles are not, as it is impossible to draw a claim that includes crocodiles or turtles with lizards (and tuatara) and yet excludes birds. Kinda cool...)
Of course, you are right. Thanks,
I agree with your opinion about brain size and it being more complex than just mass but how that brain is wired and arranged as well. The ratio of brain size to body mass is considered. For example, Homo Naledi was possibly small statured so the ratio would be higher, leaning towards higher intelligence. Just saying.
Great show as always Kayleigh !!!
I love when the kitties show up for an appearance.
Also I agree with you!
Holding out for another discovery like Ötzi? Baby mammoth was found in the permafrost on Wrangel Island. Perhaps a burial of a H. Sapiens ancestor or near cousin still awaits. 🤞
I agree that our human history books will be rewritten, and I expect that in the near future someone will find a key to explaining the sources of "ghost genes" in human DNA that seem to do nothing. They obviously did something at one time, we just don't yet know exactly what. We have so much more to learn about ourselves and the world around us. It's good that we have the luxury to be able to search and conduct digs and perform analyses of findings. Thank you for your fascinating, informative and thought provoking videos.
Absolutely we should rewrite history every single day as more research is done. Otherwise people will continue to believe in historical mythology (religion) as reality and permanently perpetuated. In other words we will continue to abandon the truth, which I believe is always a bad thing.
Personally, I would worry more about those who misuse science for political ends. Religion is simply the strawman some of us beat on when we become frustrated that our ideas are not getting across.
@@M167A1 political, religious, scientific dogma and those who entrench themselves in it all appear the same to me.
@@M167A1 WRONG
Adrian Visentin, atheism is a religion. It is the choice to believe in nothing. We are not more advanced or civilized. Skeptics have existed first thousands of years, so atheism is not 'modern'. What people believe is extremely important in history, including in the future.
Exploring has taken an interesting course finding evidence of our past. The only evidence missing is in places we haven't looked. It either too dangerous or remote. Funding is an important factor. Seems that going to Mars is easier to achieve. It seems that everything that could be seen by satellite data covers just about everything except the Poles. Thick jungles are also areas to continue exploring with LIDAR. It seems there's very little research. This should be like Gang Busters. So far, Africa should be focused on with priority. Say hi to Kevin. 🍦🍨Here's some ice cream for both. 😊
Of course there will be new discoveries that changes popular perceptions. I studied astrophysics, and if the field didn’t create a mind-blowing news story every five years, we were surprised. Not every field does it that frequently, but most do it.
Terrific presentation!!!! All of this information, including your own show, is making us all ask more questions, and question not only what we have been told, and what is being taught in schools, but why some of the significant discoveries of the recent decade have not had any impact, or even been included in the general story of the history of humankind which is in the public realm. Thank you.
A thought provoking video. I agree that it’s an exciting time for anthropology /paleo-anthropology. A lot of discoveries have been made in this century and no doubt there are more to come. Human evolution has tended to be cast as a ladder of progression, “primitive” to “advanced”, and it is important that the fossil evidence not be examined with this restricting viewpoint. The history of hominids may indeed resemble a “bush” more than it does a ladder, with several lineages existing at the same time. The end result could be a matter of contingency and not one brought about by an innate superiority of a single line. As mentioned in the video, interbreeding apparently happened between branches as evidenced by DNA sequences from Neanderthals and Denisovans in contemporary human populations. Interbreeding likely happened earlier in hominid history as well. Molecular biology and DNA analysis offer techniques that were not available in decades past. They can work alongside analysis of the fossil record to reconstruct our evolutionary history.
Since you asked: my guess is that there will be some consolidation of the mapping of the Homo genus - meaning fewer species, but larger groupings settling some debates. i.e. is Homo Longi a separate species or just a great example of a Denisovan? Given the number of amazing discoveries over the past two decades (Naledi, Floresiensis, Denisovans) hopefully the funding and efforts to explore will increase, providing us with more evidence to solve some of the current riddles.
My sister was born at almost 26 weeks and I was born at almost 35 weeks.
We are both missing parts of our brains and have dead areas. Our brains rewired themselves and we can do things that we don't have the brain area and/or function for.
I can see our ancestors and cousins especially those that are a bridge between species/traits having a similar thing happen.We know the homo sapien brain experiences a great deal of neuroplasticity It came from somewhere.
I've been watching lots of videos about ancient stone tech recently. Many of them seem to conclude there was a civilization going back 12000 years. But I'm thinking it's much more logical that there was an advanced civilization before the last Ice Age. Especially with the push back of Homo Sapiens timeline. Makes much more sense to me that the Ice Age ended things than some worldwide flood. The alignment of the the pyramids with the belt of Orion happening one cycle back. Making the pyramids 85k years old (at least). Nice watches btw
Every discovery changes the equation to some degree. I had not heard that other Denisovan finds, beyond a few finger bone bits, had been made at other sites. A mandible is like finding the owner’s manual. That’s why I’m here.
I 100% agree that history needs to have the history books need to be updated and taught once that the science is proven. Great video.
The major discovery you mentioned has been in development and finally achieved break even. It's fusion power, the opposite of fission power and instead of breaking atoms apart we fuse them together creating vast amounts of energy.
You make history interesting for the greater good. Keep on the good work. It is very important. Thanks.
This is why science is amazing. It is based on facts, replicable theories, unbiased math and the most up-to-date discoveries. Unlike religion in which what was said 2000 years ago is final. I believe another video you may consider is what type of new technologies are now being used for anthropological studies? I know lidar is fairly new but are anthropologists using drones, AI, DNA extraction methods or whatever new tech on digs and analysis?
Happy for you @History with Keyleigh on Valentines. Beautiful.
The fact that we can consider 6,000 years ago the "stone age" makes us a bit confused when there are stone tools 3 million years prior to this. Where did time go? How many times 6,000 years fit into 3 million years? What would remain of my iron ax head left 3 million years ago (hypothetically) - dust. Can we let AI tools examine the dust and figure things out?
You jam! Congrats!
Do you have a timeline w/all those species near to us & their locations? I'm curious about overlaps, concurrent use of land & resources.
In my novel I've got a series of purposefully sealed caves with the last ones including burials of many different hominid species. My point in that section is to posit comingeling collaborative interactions as the norm between species.
I love your videos. Thanks for all the effort you put into them.
It is important to continuously update the Database from which we learn. Book Recommendation: "The Dawn Of Everything - A New History of Humanity" David Graeber and David Wengrow
With you! In fact, rewriting history won't ever stop. Awesome video btw.
Although the path will eventually fade, the passage of time erases almost all traces, that does not mean that we should stop seeking to understand and explain how we came to be as a species and as a civilisation.
New discoveries throwing what we know into question and thus upending everything we thought we knew are, in my mind, basically inevitable. The fact is, the more you learn and know, the more you will inevitably realize that you don't know. Whether these discoveries are about our origins, or something else, is always up to debate. But the fact that a lot of the discoveries that have changed the details of how and when we evolved have been from things that were small on the surface. Small, but significant, and it is most likely to be the compilation of those and future discoveries, not a single one, that changes how we see things.
As for why some things are not widely known, most people don't really care about the small details as they don't throw things out of whack in our minds the way one giant discovery that gets a lot of publicity would. And the general lack of publicity also plays a significant role.
More than 50 years ago, my senior thesis was on Australopithecine sexual dimorphism. At that time, there were only a handful of homonid fossils known, and there was a theory that the robust Paranthropus specimens were male and the gracile Australopithecines were female. I'd say it's likely we'll revise our theories.
I went to school when techtonics drift was a " new thing" so I am not surprised by new development in science.
Agreed 💯 percent keep moving forward with learning.
we dont rewrite theory's when we find out new information unless we find out something wrong with the fundamentals. then we rewrite them. otherwise we just adjust them like with anything when new data is found
Totally agree, with new and older, repurposed, remote sensing equipment plus improvements in GPR for sure we will rewrite history.
Exciting time to be around for those interested in human history. I agree that we are likely to discover more important finds that both enrich and rewrite our understanding of this in the coming months and years. Thank you for the very informative videos
This is the best way to prove your point.
Excellent.
Nice Work as Always, Kayleigh!
There are five major geographic areas where humans have distinct developments. It would be very possible for Homo Erectus to have inhabited most of these areas and for there to be more resulting divergent species for modern science to discover.
As the future, the past too is a work in progress. Isn't this great?? Always looking for the next horizon, while we cherish those close with us, here in the present. Nice vid again, Lady Kayleigh 👍
Groet'n oet Grun' 🌷, T.
It's an evolving story. And we've really just started to write it!
Yeah.
I do think as well.
Just don't stop.
Other side of the pond.
Different, I love snow and being cold looking.
I'm with you, Kayleigh! I feel like there are so many more exciting discoveries that will be coming along. My idea of Heaven, is going to a place where I can stream actual video of ancient history as it happened. Everything revealed showing how everything really was. I soooo want to know it all! Thanks again for another great video!
Have you read Arthur C Clarke The Light Of Other Days? It's a great story about developing technology that opens windows into the past. I won't spoil it...
@@UberGringo I have not! I will have to look for that, thanks!
@@UberGringo Thank you for the tip!
That would be majorly cool.
Such words for a headline from Kayleigh!
All this discovery is nice somehow, but the real question is, from where do we come from?
Where is the origin?
And why only one species survived?
A single footprint in the sand on a beach.
Some people don't give it a thought.
Some people wonder why there are not 2 footprints.
Some people wonder if the footprints behind were washed away.
Some people calculate when the last tide might have swept the other footprints away.
Some people wait for the next tide and claim there were no footprints.
Looking forward to the video on our ancestor!
If more people would step back and understand that what we have found and deduced thus far is dwarfed by that which we have yet to discover. I try diligently to have thoughts and information and avoid having beliefs.
I'm very interested in human evolution first time I've heard of homo bowensus though I'm looking forward to learning more thankyou
I am curious about the arrival of humans in the America's. Why did it take so long and how they were able to populate two whole continents so quickly. Also why there were no other great apes there. I do love your series and you have taught me a lot. Thank you.
Took so long for essentially the same reason it took so long for contact to be made with them again. The Americas are very far away, without any convenient route other then the Siberian/Alaskan one and that's very harsh terrain for humans to survive in.
No other great apes (or any apes) because the apes evolved relatively late in Africa and Europe and until humans came along none of them thrived in the near arctic climates needed to reach the Americas.
i enjoyed this. I often in fact daily argue or debate with Christian young earth creationists which is infuriating as they believe evolution is a lie and that the entire universe is only 6000 years old. Even when you provide them with evidence they're wrong, they don't back down. Such a shame.
New discoveries. Isn't that what science thrives on? And it will be boring when the last piece of the jigsaw is in place and there is no more to know, sigh! But thankfully that is a long way off, well, if we don't destroy ourselves and our planet before then.
Another great video Kayleigh.
The story of human evolution is gradually evolving as more is found out with time. True academics have it much of a choice in the matter!
There only one group of people are the really the truth human beings that evolved from apes that is white people any other groups of people they evolved from baboons.
I suspect that gradual changes are more likely than a complete rewrite. Depending on what one means by "rewriting", I suppose. It makes me think of pseudo-sciencey "everything they taught you is wrong" nonsense, but I don't think that's really what she means.
This is why I have such an enthusiasm for your efforts on this subject. The Lomekwian tools could be connected to the population of hominin "Kadanuumuu" was a member of. The nearly 3.6 million year old unusually tall male who seemed to not be the same thing as near contemporary "Little Foot". "Kadanuumuu" seemed physically more advanced than Australopithecus Afarensis was believed to be. Therefore, perhaps, he was something different, and his kind were on their way to Homo, and 300,000 years after his time made those tools.
My Parents who were brilliant, and devout Roman Catholic's, taught me their Religious beliefs and some about their sciences, and how to believe in both without one affecting the other. They also let me know that a Priest's can write in ink as their canon never changes, but Scientists should write in pencil as their teachings, learning, and information should be ever changing. Let me go on in that could you learn something that totally changes timeline history? YES! This shows that you are learning, which also follows my Dad's thought's on life because he taught me that the second you stop learning, is the second you start dying.
i'll be fine with rewriting history as long as we don't find a monolith buried on the moon.
I would absolutely agree with what you presented. All fields do eventually evolve in knowledge as new information is added through discovery, experimentation, and confirmation of theories. Here is one that I have now read now 3 articles on. there is a theory being put forward that homo sapien sapien may have developed on the Eurasian continent and immigrated back to Africa. To my knowledge the majority of academics still hold to the out of Africa theory with multiple sites rather than the single site. What do you know of this? I ask you because you follow what is known but have optimism over new knowledge as stated in this video. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and appreciate all the time effort and research you put into them . I hope you take Valentines off and enjoy time with your man. thanks again
Entertaining and informative as always, Kayleigh...Thanks
Hello Kayleigh. I believe that it's possible.
I do know this Kayleigh ,Kevin is going to love that watch!
Here is how Archaeology and Science is employed practically. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle all ate dog, or at least sat at tables with fellow citizens of Athens while dog was being eaten. Dr Flint Dibble, a modern archaeologist and son of The Dibble, is a archaeologist specializing in Greek archaeology, more specifically hitherto under-researched and/or ignored bones in ancient Greek material cultural remains. Until his PhD work in Athens, it was thought that the rapid transition from goat and sheep as a main protein source in Greece in the Chalcolithic and Bronze ages to Beef in the Iron age represented significant changes in culture. You can find all sorts of wild "cowboy Greeks" theories and more if you look for them. Dibbles work illustrated that there was no change in the protein source composition but rather the more acidic soil assemblages of the iron age led to enhanced deterioration in the bone assemblages; larger bones withstood the march of time better than the smaller bones of goats and sheep. All proven with science collaboration with geologists employing advanced geological methodological analyses. Furthermore, Dibble encountered the bones of butchered dogs in many assemblages, butchered in the same manner as other protein sources. Change My Mind. Your reference to H. bodoensis is vague, it is based on the reclassification, or more correctly deletion, of H. heidelbergensis as the hypodigm of the mid Pleistocene catch all classification of the lineage. The name was chosen based on the previously discovered ( 1976) Bodo Skull Holotype. You should do a deep dive on that because it is important.
I love your channel. The video on the prehistoric surgery was the most inspiring to date. My fiancee read The Dawn of Everything, and she thought it was exciting and inspiring. I respect Graeber and Wengrow. I've seen a recent interview with Wengrow in which he states as fact that the ancestors of our species were varied; therefore, there is no single ecosystem in which our species evolved. In a short article published before their book, Graeber and Wengrow state that our species is roughly 100,000 years old, and there is no evidence of nomadism for at least the last 40,000 years. Are there counterarguments to that claim? Even if it is true, what about the previous 60,000 years? Moreover, what about the find you mentioned in Morocco?! Thanks for all of your excellent work!!!
I don't know if it's most people , but many people still "Believe" that they were created by a fairy-tale. Changing the World takes a lot of work.
*Let the Sunshine In...*
thanks
I agree with you.
Just keep digging
Saw Holland once, knew it was time to go home if i was going to work on monday. I was working. Proof of Concept Sea Trial of inboard Sea Nymph, man it is a long time since I last typed that. 1972
I haven't been on your channel as much because of health issues (horrible cluster headache cycle). I love ancient history - modern history, not so much!! But I love anything BCE and the further back the better.
Does that involve sinus problems?
Hi Kayleigh, I sure like your videos! They are like a college course which I really miss!
And don't forget the cats, who share their point of view...
I am excited by the fact of the complexity of the story of human kind being exposed, rather than a simplistic evolution-based Out-of-Africa model. Yes, the future is exciting because of that; and the fact that we - as mere amateurs - have a role to play in taking on board the discoveries of the scientists and Indigenous knowledge, and offering new interpretations which may be revealed by those discoveries. Not all scientists have the ability to analyse their discoveries and those of others in a truly significant manner. So the opening of access to their papers and research is a good thing is a good thing, as also is an expansion of that research beyond the previous Eurocentric + Africa model. The Denisovan discovery, and it associated DNA presence, is one of the truly exciting things we can take on board, but also look forward to weaving within the bigger story of our evolution as a species.
Fire tamed by skill
Warmth, light in the dark night
Civilization sparks
Thanks!
You are exactly right. And very exciting. You're a smart lady! Do a basic math equation that represents the proposed population over the period of interest and divide it by known sampling.
What percentage are we looking at and what about the lost lineage line's and how do they represent?
Haven't done the math cause I'd get bored with the. 000s
You hit the nail, it's all down to interest. When you don't have a degree people ignore you anyway. But, if you read all articles and periodicles and check references you can know way more than a scientist who is not a specialist in the field.
Having said that , there are still those who argue for homo sapiens having a central Asian origin. I thought this idea was put to bed but it is still advocated by a great many. More ancient stone tools would be expected in Africa if they can be identified to a species that are our ancestors but even that has been difficult to nail down.
I agree with you. In fact, I will go as far as to say that recent studies of animal intelligence have begun to prove your point of brain structure over brain size. We don’t know as much as we think, and, when we find new information, we should definitely change the information we teach as being facts.
Just brilliant as always !
Dig deeper, more holes, Satilite and infared, Ground radar metal detectors. All we are learning what we dont know. A lot is under water.
Kayleigh. Several things; Kevin is a very lucky guy to have you in his life. intelligence, personality, and extremely good looks that you bring to the world go without saying. Secondly, The small brains were very important in your presentation, which was top-notch as always, but some of them exist today in those that do not want or drag their feet to re-write history. I am a history buff and also into forensics (I teach them in college and have worked in them for over 35 years) and have come to realize that history is constantly changing and the pre-historic periods you cover are essential in the understanding of mankind and we need to re-write it as it happens and scientific proof is confirmed. It is constantly evolving as our history and the way I look at it goes with the old saying "it ain't over till the fat lady sings and she hasn't sung yet. Keep up the good work. Stay safe
I don't get where the problem is here. New findings change local timelines, there are countless examples of the re writing of pre history according to new findings. Wether it's happening in Africa, Europe, Asia. Who in the scientific community refuses to adapt the history according to new findings?
More rarely one single discovery get to change The Timeline, of all our standing ancestors on the whole planet. Discovering Lucy's remains did that if I recall correctly, discovering Ardi too, pushed the hominid family back 1.2 million years. Affecting the universal timeline. The pre history scientists, researchers, professors, simple high school teachers, all changed happily and publicly the story that these creatures had lived much much longer than the previous discoveries had let us think..
Whether it's a discovery of something we knew already so just the timeline changes, or we discover a new object revaling to us a new ancestor for example, also changing the timeline and that part of the history.
So who says that history isn't changing when evidence comes and makes the previous version of history obsolete? Or did I misunderstand the whole debate here. The argument of the "historians refusing to change their theories even confronted to proofs" can happen if the historians are presented with fake proof, it has happened a lot. Or proof that aren't significant enough to change the whole pre existing theory.
Or that story is used by pseudo scientists trying to sell their personal version of the history, without the approval of official specialists on the subject. Like Graham Hancok accuses the historians, geologists, archeologists etc to all refuse to change the storyline of human societies because no serious evidence points to that direction. And even if Götligepe moves back a couple of thousand years our knowledge of the ability of humans to erect massive stones, it doesn't change the fact that historians will refuse to admit that a super evolved society existed and just vanished without a materiel trace. But the cavemen science found actual traces of, their remains and artifacts not only existed but some can still be seen today.
I hope that here we can all admit that this is not science forming a kabal to hide anything from the public. Or historians refusing to change history out of fear of losing their positions in academia, their fundings. Or just out of fear of losing face publicly, having to admit they were wrong.
I see historians who would very happily share the new history if there was a shred of proof, if there was an undisputable fossile or artifact, changing the timeline. And bigger the paradigm shift would be, the more excited the scientific community would be.
Science has slowly lost its way.
It needs to go back to cold hard facts and remembering “the science is never settled” and “there is no such thing in science as consensus”.
Something that has been bothering me for the past month and a half, since I brought out my Faux Wolf Fur Blanket. Well, two questions actually. 1) What was it like sleeping in a cave with fur blankets, and fire, 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. 2) When did it become normal to cuddle up with someone that looks modern human, regardless of skin colour or regional (Asian, Euro, African) modern features.
Just two questions that puzzle me as I snuggle down into my blankets, the fur tickling my nose.
The timeline is like the universe, the further you look back, the more things you discover, it is an endless journey.
It’s not hard for me to believe that our ancestors were smarter than modern humans the hard part is believing they were less smart.
I sure hope so - our sciences are so young.
History is history and is written such that it can’t be unwritten…what changes is our understanding of history in light of new discoveries…I find it fascinating that more and more “experts” are jumping on the bandwagon of disbelief in evolution in favor of “intelligent design”…not of an intelligent “higher being” but intelligence within the dna molecule…they only acknowledge “localized evolution”…it’ll be fun watching those learned folk argue/discuss/discover….
I fully support this arc. Get em, Kayleigh
Hoi, hoe gaat het met je? Did you happen to see my suggestion to read Red Earth, White Lies, by Vine Deloria Jr? You'll find some interesting ideas on there pertaining to this topic.
We may have been chased down from the canopy.and discovered fire.
Looks like a Great company you are supporting! Love what I saw of their work! Bravo on your excellent video content also, as always! Your approach is Commendable!!✨😁👍
Thank you!
Every new discovery always rewrite humankind story.
What came to my mind immediatly after you presented these very old stone tools is the question: what about non-humanoid species? Are there other species that used to make tools?
There are many species that use tools - chimps selecting and refining sticks to hunt with for example, I also remember reading about monkeys that use stones to break nuts open (I think) that left piles of stones not dissimilar to those left by early man - sorry, my memory about the monkeys is very vague! Also many non-mammal species use tools, especially birds.
