A bit of comic relief about 17:08 "the stone tools that they created were simple and crude". My college history department had a summer 'practical archeology' course excavating flint knapping areas, with a display case of beautifully made, knapped arrowheads/blades, along with the knapping cores and chips they had collected. On the bottom shelf was a display of broken and cracked rocks, showing the BEST results of prior student's extra-credit attempts to actually MAKE a stone arrowhead by knapping stone. So, it helps to remember that 99 out of 100 university students could not replicate those "primitive" tools...
Kayleigh, you may NOT be a credentialed paleontologist or physical anthropologist, but you ARE a most excellent scholar and a very engaging teacher. You don't pretend to know more than you do, but you conduct vigorous research, collate the information you collect, and organize it for dissemination. You then accurately and concisely present what you have learned, emphasizing the points which are most critical, which you find most interesting, and/or which you think your audience will find most interesting or useful. You are an AMAZING scholar, and one of the finest conveyors of interesting information concerning human history, prehistory, and cultural, on RUclips (I know -- I've looked around). If you continue on your current scholarly trajectory I predict you will one day have a half-million subscribers, or more, and will probably lead a small team to create content for your channel. Keep it up -- you don't need a PhD in Anthropology or History to be a great teacher; you just need discipline, humility, persistence, enthusiasm, and a desire to share and grow. You seem to have all of this in ample quantity. Again, you are an EXCELLENT scholar and teacher! Well done!
I agree. There's nothing in definitions of "scholar" I've seen that requires a degree. The main point is a great deal of knowledge/expertise. IMO, much more important than papers and certificates for the true spirit of scholarship is a joyous excitement about the quest for more knowledge, which Kayleigh displays in abundance. That said, it's fair for Kayleigh to recognize those who've studied more than she has, and admirable for her to show some humility. That's part of her charm; we get to learn more as she does. A know-it-all braggart would be no fun at all. So, as MF said: "Well done!"
@@lobotiggre6432 There's nothing in the term academic/academia that requires a degree or doctorate either. They are just mainly helpful for eliciting funding from rich people who like to see titles behind a name that they are investing in, and also showing that to an extent you have been through the peer review ringer that most academics look to as the gold standard for respectable work in any given field. The kind of people that loudly shout that they have found x, y or z from the rooftops without laying out their material evidence for peer review first are the kind you need to be wary of - these are the kind of people looking for attention and money rather than truth. Kayleigh clearly studies the material well and cites sources freely, often calling attention to limitations in the source material where they exist - this is the mark of a good scholar.
I love her. She reminds me of my first girlfriend so I can`t help it. I have to scroll down so I can`t see her to be able to pay attention to what she`s saying. LOL!
Doc. I think she is already in the process of arranging her own globe trotting, the better to make her own documentaries for our mutual enjoyment. Those that can, do. Fox out.
I cannot stress enough how much I enjoy your content, learn from it, and your personality is just amazing. I wish you the very best in everything you do! ❤
Thank you, interesting and entertaining. And most appreciatively, the cat will behave while one of the Kayleigh videos is running. Makes it much easier to set in front of the TV and have a snack.
Some of the deductions you present in your well packaged pieces are just too genius to almost believe. Love your style, really enjoyable to absorb. Cheers!
KayLeigh, You show more scholarship and scholarly traits than many who have the degrees, but have lost the hunger for knowledge you radiate. You teach in the Ancient Greek tradition. Though Damn the Internet is a very long Log. Sorry When you discount your skills or value, somebody from the cheap seats has to correct your only serious fault. Being an Ocean away from Harvard or M.I.T. just keeps you out of our nasty winters, away from our terrible drivers, and out of our dirty subways. Of course , it denies us a beauty greater than our Boston Common and Public Garden combined, but one cannot have everything. This is the Age of the Internet. We can get all your cold facts by the ton. You give use ideas and learning lit by your love of it and your brilliant understanding. Your details are sifted like gold bearing sands, but it is the tapestry of facts, details and tales which makes your work uniquely come alive. God cherish and bless you.
I follow so many history channels on RUclips I thought I followed them all. I can’t believe your channel has just been recommended. I don’t think anyone has as much content with ancient humans. Looking forward to catching up
I just stumbled onto your videos today. Wonderful content and it's always great seeing someone with such passion sharing their passion with us. You are amazing, hope you keep growing as a channel.
I think that what you are doing is sharing infos on the subjects you and the followers have a sincere inclination. I call it scientific journalism, and it is an important duty to share proper knowledge as widely as possible. Dankjewel.
You’re lovely. You’re smart. You’re a great speaker. If you want to have a longer topic I say Go For It!!! As long as the subject takes. Keep up the fantastic way you approach the subjects. I’ll show the bad boy here and tell you I used to cut school to go to the Museum of Natural History in New York because I could easily spend the day there. Easily. Keep it up!
As a Trained Historian (Ancient History), I approve of this video, without bias. Which, of course, is a lie. It's hard to be unbiased when a subject is presented so well.
Once again a very good video, you make me want to learn more about our history, as always just as many questions as answers. For me personally I could quite easily listen to you, talk for much longer. Your enthusiasm is very contagious. Please keep the good work up and I'm looking forward to more. Thank you Kayleigh.
Problems with Homo Habilis include. * All we have is fragments from scattered finds. They may not even all be from the same population. Nothing that I would consider to be a decent skeleton. *Something was making tools but which critter was doing it is less than clear. They may have all been doing it. *The remains look like an Australopithecus. The defining feature was supposed to be stone tool making. Yeah, that no longer works. *That is only a small slice of the problems. If you want to know more dig for it. Some you can find in museums and publications but when you put everything we know together out ignorance is still profound. Have fun. Learning is fun.
Always find your discussion interesting. ( I am my handyman. The problem is I’m a financially poor one.). The more I think about your different discussion on human evolution the more I think folks are trying to write the tree as fact instead of a possibility subject to change as more evidence is provided. We need more data!
Such a shame that whomsoever left those footprints behind 6mya, didn’t heat the debate up by dropping a tool or two along the way. Anything would do - screwdriver, corkscrew…
Not a scholar? Well you certainly have the knowledge and presentation of one, sweetheart! I just love the subject of human origins and I will be listening and viewing as long as you are talking😍
Thank you again for another other wonderful addition to discussion about our ancestors! 🙂 I wonder if you have done Peking Man yet? That is interesting story, and also very sad since all the samples were lost because of war. I always find it fascinating how H. Erectus spread so very very far so early. ... but, I forget, and don't remember if Peking Man is H. Erectus, or ... something else ... an off-shoot like Hobbit? Whatever, H. Erectus was a kinda the first great explorer. Another fun, and controversial debate, I think, that comes much much later (already modern human) is the arguments about how people got to the Americas; boats, landbridge, or both, or attack helicopters, or what? Also, also, even though it is not human ancestor, it might also also be fun to look at chimpanzee, and especially how the cimpanzee memory works. I mention it before, but, look up "Are you smarter than a chimpanzee", and be amazed at how chimpanzee can remember much much much more detail in brief little flash of short time that is impossible for us to do ... and how that "flash" memory might have implication about the way some of our ancestors mighta mebbe process things, like, for instance, being able to go into cave without fire, and just use quick spark of flint to "see" everything, remember all the details, and move, and then only strike spark again when new area and new picture is needed. I think this might mebbe be part of answer to explain how we do not see much carbon build up on roof of cave places we have evidence of ancient ancestors visiting over long time ... or maybe ceiling soot is just not preserved very well. I don't know. I get ideas. My ideas might be wrong, but, that's ok. It is important to be curious and ask questions, even silly ones, yes? 🙃
As far as we know, humankind didn't invent graphic representations of speech until a few millennia ago. It seems reasonable to say that for almost all the rest of our evolution (even after the invention of writing, while most people still remained illiterate) human beings committed most of their knowledge to memory and that is what mostly brought us to the present. Remembering in detail what you have seen for just seconds may well be another manifestation of the same need to store knowledge.
I could listen for an hour. Thank you for such wonderful content. It would be great if someday a bunch of us could get together for a conversation. I think besides the logistics, just one hour wouldn't be long enough. But it would be a great exchange of knowledge. Thanks as always.
The shape of your mouth make it look like your smiling, just a little, when you're being dead serious and wouldn't have been smiling. That's a very interesting and positive feature to have. And yea, your presentation, as always, was flawless! Thank you so much!
So much information; thanks a bunch. I really appreciate the images you put up showing locations. If you can find the resources and time, add more images depicting what you are talking about, it helps give context.🙂
You are great, you do a great job researching and relaying it to non-historians. May I suggest a north american tube on archaic progression of population, everyone has their own idea and Id like to hear yours. Im an avid artifact hunter and own enough land to find many points from archaic times.
That's the reason why this field of study has already thrown away so many boxes, some of them reluctantly. And I guess they'll keep throwing some others away too. We are talking about 2 million years of evolution of the genus homo approximately, but we have so very few remains for such a long period. And they don't come from so many places, even if we have colonized the whole planet. This always makes me wonder how different our conclusions would be if it was ever possible to have a really representative sample of, at least, each subspecies (or lineage) of homo (and if we really knew how many they are), showing what difference it makes to live in different climates, to have access to different food resources, and so on. Who knows what else is still hidden out there, and where. We'll probably never know, although we'll surely discover some more. This is the way I, absolutely a non expert, think of these discoveries. Not expecting to revolutionize science with my ideas, I'm just saying!
@@silviac221 The more knowledge we gain, the finer distinctions we can determine, the more the concept of boxes dissolves, IMO, so I am pretty much in agreement.
Wow, I am hooked. Young lady, you tell an excellent story. Question marks where they need to be. I have a lot of "Educated" friends that are dry as attic cardboard and just about as useful. ;P
quite the interesting subject, thank you. Ps.. Feel free to go off on tangents, I like listening to you talk, and you are like WAY smarter than me on this subject. So Keep being you, and I will keep loving the hell out it. ;)>
Feel free to go off on tangents as much as you want. It’s very entertaining and informative. You may just be reporting but we enjoy listening and learning from you.
I remember in the late 1980s or early 90s there was a movie about a nerd who was always being made fun of by his high school classmates for using the scientific terms homo what have you. He end up highly impressing his science teacher though and eventually finds a time window near the school that sends him back where he meets the first attractive blonde among the homo erectus. She falls in love with him and him with her because the others of her species consider HER a nerd and even though he gets sent back to modern times, by the end of the movie he goes back in time again and spends - as far as the viewer knows - the rest of his life with her. And of course there is the meme going around Facebook that asks "what would you do if you found out if your son was a homo sapien?" that often catches people off guard. Anyway keep using the term if you want. And go smart blondes! (My nieces are smart blondes too.)
hi, Klee! another great video from my favorite tuber. i'm watching a bit more carefully for your alerts, hopefully, i won't miss anymore premieres. that habilis character looks like my kid brother but, i wouldn't exactly call him "handy". more like "needy". (sorry, Jay, just tellin it the way i see it.) anyway, we're all Homos on this bus! Sapiens Sapiens, that is. have a good weekend, my dear! see ya next time, for sure!
As a teenager in the 60's and 70's, I had great interest in human evolution and our family tree. It would infuriate me when a book would state that Australopithecus came before Homo habilis and erectus, but that there was no indication of eigther evolving directly from Australopithecus. These species existed sometimes simultaneously or sequentiy, but they would never state that one had evolved from another. They would state that other species of Homo gave rise to erectus , but there wasn't evidence which.. I'm glad anthropologists are finally admiting to evolution.
Although we have found many fossils of our Homo branch of life we are trying to figure the whole 200K piece jigsaw picture puzzle from a handful of pieces, so much guesswork is still the order of the day. Lots of variance in the Habilis and Erectus Taxons even from the very limited information found. I am sure we will discover some stuff in the future very shocking to our present interpretations. Hope its before I check out!
Homo Habilis always makes me think of a song from the 1950's that was revived by James Taylor in the 1970's. Yeah... "Handyman". "I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule, I'm handy with love and I'm no fool. I fix broken hearts, baby, I'm your handyman!". Hope you get a laugh Kayleigh! Your videos are very enjoyable!
Grin- and on a comic tangent, "Ancient Handy Man" means I can't help but think of blues singer Alberta Hunter's 1981 recording of the double-entendre standard "My Handy Man"
You are the second Dutch RUclipsr whose channel I chose to subscribe to…the first being ‘ History Hustle ‘, produced by Stefan, a high school history teacher,..he also produces work completely in English, focusing completely on early to late modern history, mostly ( not exclusively ) European. Have you seen any of his work ? And, I wonder if you have ever produced any video work in Dutch ?…

Finally a teacher you can actually listen and learn from. Smart and stunning.
Well, if she had ever been one of my teachers it would have been impossible for me to NOT pay attention to her 😉

I remember in the late 1980s or early 90s there was a movie about a nerd who was always being made fun of by his high school classmates for using the scientific terms homo what have you. He end up highly impressing his science teacher though and eventually finds a time window near the school that sends him back where he meets the first attractive blonde among the homo erectus. She falls in love with him and him with her because the others of her species consider HER a nerd and even though he gets sent back to modern times, by the end of the movie he goes back in time again and spends - as far as the viewer knows - the rest of his life with her. And of course there is the meme going around Facebook that asks "what would you do if you found out if your son was a homo sapien?" that often catches people off guard. Anyway keep using the term if you want. And go smart blondes! (My nieces are smart blondes too.)
hi, Klee! another great video from my favorite tuber. i'm watching a bit more carefully for your alerts, hopefully, i won't miss anymore premieres. that habilis character looks like my kid brother but, i wouldn't exactly call him "handy". more like "needy". (sorry, Jay, just tellin it the way i see it.)
anyway, we're all Homos on this bus! Sapiens Sapiens, that is. have a good weekend, my dear! see ya next time, for sure!
Very handy, also pick up a lot of artifacts at home when I'm not being handy in the town..ig. for a few such things
I love your channel
As a teenager in the 60's and 70's, I had great interest in human evolution and our family tree. It would infuriate me when a book would state that Australopithecus came before Homo habilis and erectus, but that there was no indication of eigther evolving directly from Australopithecus. These species existed sometimes simultaneously or sequentiy, but they would never state that one had evolved from another. They would state that other species of Homo gave rise to erectus , but there wasn't evidence which.. I'm glad anthropologists are finally admiting to evolution.
Although we have found many fossils of our Homo branch of life we are trying to figure the whole 200K piece jigsaw picture puzzle from a handful of pieces, so much guesswork is still the order of the day. Lots of variance in the Habilis and Erectus Taxons even from the very limited information found. I am sure we will discover some stuff in the future very shocking to our present interpretations. Hope its before I check out!
Homo Habilis always makes me think of a song from the 1950's that was revived by James Taylor in the 1970's. Yeah... "Handyman". "I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule, I'm handy with love and I'm no fool. I fix broken hearts, baby, I'm your handyman!". Hope you get a laugh Kayleigh! Your videos are very enjoyable!
You're awesome
Grin- and on a comic tangent, "Ancient Handy Man" means I can't help but think of blues singer Alberta Hunter's 1981 recording of the double-entendre standard "My Handy Man"
We don't know that we know as much as we don't know because we don't know how much we don't know till we know it all.
You are the second Dutch RUclipsr whose channel I chose to subscribe to…the first being ‘ History Hustle ‘, produced by Stefan, a high school history teacher,..he also produces work completely in English, focusing completely on early to late modern history, mostly ( not exclusively ) European. Have you seen any of his work ? And, I wonder if you have ever produced any video work in Dutch ?…
