That little girl is possibly the mother of millions of descendents.
THE ARTISTS OF TJOSE PAINTINGS WERE PROBABLY NEADRETALS.
She could have also died several moments later from ingesting paint, or tripping on a rock in the dark.
Billions and billions. In just 20 generations, it equates to at least 1 million paternal ancestors.
Jesus F. we have neanderthal dna
If she left ancestors she is most likely directly ancestral to all europeans. All Europeans share the same set of ancestors around 1000AD. That is - everyone alive in Europe at AD1000 is the direct ancestor to everyone alive today. That is mind blowing. Look it up!
Wow. It's like someone extending their hand from 35000 years ago to you.
I love cave paintings. It shows the brilliance of our ancestors, it’s such a raw and human experience.
Unfortunately most of these are fake.
@@direfranchementLike your personality but we’re not talking about that
@@ToastiestWaffle No, my personality is not fake. I will tell you exactly what I think of you. For instance, I think very little of you.
a simple handprint has a bigger meaning underneath
I agree
The fifth episode was one of the most awe-inspiring, optimistic pieces of TV I've ever seen. Faith in humanity restored.
When I see these paintings, especially when I see the hand paintings, I get the utmost desire to go back in time and see those people. I want to know how they looked like, if they had a name, how they lived, how they died. It's sad that they are forgotten and we'll never know anything about them.
They aren’t really forgotten as every human has pushed our species forward, these guys discovered things that lead to their future descendants to discover more things, and eventually leading to our world today. If these guys didnt do anything and then just all died we wouldn’t be here
If you ever go back in time and meet them, you are more likely to get killed by them by thinking you are either a demon or a spy from another tribe. They are not nice people as these archeologists explain.
I painted my weenie on wall for generations to come
Imagine thousands of years in the *future* though…
Because of cameras, photos, and ESPECIALLY the internet, we will now NEVER be forgotten :D
It'd be cool to shag one of the Sheilas, too. You know, provided she took a bath first. Maybe shaved her legs.
They really should be using flickering light. That was part of the art.
Good point. Archæologists have done that, and realised that flickering light highlighted little details they had not noticed before, and confirmed that the effect of the torches originally used in accessing the deeper areas of the caves probably heightened their spiritual senses as they drew the animals and beings-they seemed more alive and almost 3-D.
Just so incredibly.............I don't have the words. I hope they know we love them, or at least I Do !! Thank you for communicating with us.
My teacher at the university told me to watch this documentary and he will ask questions from this 5th episode in the exam tomorrow. I watched well. I'm going to watch the first episodes now.
That was awesome
We still have wild humans. They live on remote islands, deep in rain forest and within the Artic circle. It's hard for most people to perceive this. This planet is far larger than they imagine it is.
@LtLuke and then dying at 35 of a simple infection
@LtLuke It's been pretty well established that the average lifespan for ancient ancestors was probably around 35 or lower. There are plenty of articles discussing it online.
@LtLuke Nah
@@johnnyjohnny2650 “Average” lifespan tells you nothing. That average lifespan is inclusive of the horrendous infant mortality of the time. If you made it past childhood, your life expectancy would’ve been significantly longer than the “average”.
@@chadwells7562 Most anthropologists would say after you made it past childhood an average lifespan for an ancient man is about 35-40, which is significantly shorter than an average modern lifespan.
I'm high and I got so lost in this preview that when it ended, I got shook. I didn't want it to end. Brian's soothing voice also probably had something to do with it. Time to find the full video.
Im in love with you
I am over awed by this. The childs print of her hand. Amazing.
Makes you wonder what will people of the future think about the graffitis we leave behind in caves.
Spray paint won't last as long due to it not being as stable as natural pigments
Super Noodles but things like carving things with initials and stuff
I think they'd have an idea, unless the internet gets wiped and become something like a void century
@Eska cas lol
@@donutello_ wouldn’t that be splendid?
I just came back from visiting these caves. Sadly I saw none of these paintings in walk I took through the cave. I wonder if I am incredibly dense and missed them or they were in an area blocked off from regular tourists.
They cave painters (from Indonesia to spain to france ) seem to operate from a type of 'hive mind' with a shared iconography,in the days before the printed word.
The background music is so relaxing
BEAUTIFUL
Very interesting
how could they tell it was a little girl by the hand outline alone?
This annoyed me-I'd rather see the works of art and hear the narrator, not see the narrator, hear the narrator, and occasionally glimpse some of the art.
True! that angered me too! Thumb down
Then I would recommend an awesome documentary called 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams.' Directed by Werner Herzog. Simply Amazing.
yes this guy loves himself and needs to just get out of the way.
I'm guessing you don't appreciate who he is!
'the narrator' like he isn't important himself
Brian Cox in the picture you click on, it looks like his hand. We have been here before.
2:48 I call this vandalism, what a shock to the world.
If only i had a time machine...
----> 2017!!
I gotta admit: The first time I enjoy watching 3 mins of bbc stuff
My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great Uncle Grok made some of these paintings. And he never received so much as a mammoth hide for them.
Amazing
Seeing the hand print leaves me wondering what life the artist had afterwards. Did they grow up and raise lots of children? Did they live long or did they die young? Did disease or injuries take them? I hope they lived a happy life but you know it had to be a hard one.
Don’t project so much onto these fake paintings.
@@direfranchement how do you know they're fake?
@@direfranchement Sigh. I’m sure vaccines, the international space station, evolution and the moon is also fake. There’s always one.
what would make the people go so far into the cave?
Why not? It exists, so explore.
@@theempressrotsinthesun no i meant in prehistoric times.
@@kevinhoward9593 yep, so did I
This was before humans thought of making their homes, so they were looking for a safe place, and the caves were suitable for them, and they may have been a migratory group and lived in the caves temporarily.
In southern France and northern Spain, there is no evidence that the caves were ever used for human habitation. The reason they went so far back into remote and almost inaccessible areas was specifically so that the uninitiated were not likely to see the images. (Not all of them were painted; some of them were etched or engraved into the stone with some kind of a stylus or sharp tool; a few were carved in relief) The images are not art and were not made by artists. The guys who made them were not interested in being creative or expressing anything to anyone. The images were made by statisticians from sports teams keeping records of wins and losses of prehistoric championship tournaments. The images are emblems, logos of mascots of the teams --- the bears, the bulls, the broncos, the lions etc. My advice would be to disregard the ludicrous, conceited and preposterous speculations of the the archeologists, anthropologists, and all the other pompous academics, as to the meanings and purpose of the images.
My dream is to safely travel to past and space exploration
I don't suppose anyone can tell me who scored the music in this?
I suppose it should be there in credits of the full episode, which is not accessible in my geographical location.
I found out, thanks. It was Philip Sheppard.
Thanks for sharing.
Alex Watson did find out the name of the score?
No. I think He made the composition especially for this series.
Brian Cox meets Werner Herzog. Awesome.
It amazes me that people these days lack the simple intelligence and deduce everything they see, its actually quite sad. "Paint can't stay on walls for that long" it's not paint lmao. The ingredients used to make the pigment was all natural which would last in conditions, "oh how can you tell it was a female" if you used your common sense and measured the height of the hand from the floor the dispersal of the fingers and circumference then you'd quite easily understand males and females are different in size and shape, but each day something new pops up and it's all about debunking without evidence or fact. Flat earth was debunked thousands of years ago by science by simple common sense yet when you show categorical proof they still look for something to debunk it because its ignorance to reality, these are people you encounter every day, people you work with, people you school with and its actually quite sad because the world is made up of alot of differences but thier is static science to things and things have been proven, if evidence was solid on both sides of something then that would be fine to debunk certain theories, this was creativity that child did that because their mind was creative just like how you are on your phone, in sports, on your consoles. It's not that hard to compute and its shocking that people cast doubt on such simple things and not actually take in the sheer beauty and understanding of our forefathers, in time to come when we are long and gone imagine someone coming along and telling their friends it's all fake etc. The video was lovely. Although brian is annoying.
I love this comment.
best comment in this website
What if I told that that art was from the future, not the past?
Don't think it was a 'group gathering'...a selected few, shamans and hunters e.t.c.
You have to understand that these are just some of the Amazing Discoveries that actually survived. Human beings have been on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years. At least 460,000 years. So you have to understand the timeline. Everything that is going on right now in this world might never be known to the individuals that are living in 150,000 years. Can you understand that? That's the same thing that's going on right now with us. We are not witnessing the beginning of Art or the beginning of understanding of time and your place within that time. We are just seeing some artwork from survivors of some type of cataclysm that came together to survive as long as they could in the hopes that they could somehow grass what had come before them. And I'm not trying to be deep and philosophical and overthink anything. That is just the facts how I believe them
Exactly. They talk like everything started just 35000 years ago but humans have been around way longer than that. There could have been many cycles in between where little remains, doesn't mean that art and the concept of time etc. all started back then. It probably started way earlier. There is a lot of human prehistory that is probably still lost or not yet discovered.
He spaced out his head. Defo on crack that one.
How tf does this guy know it was a girl
bro bs my great great great gramps drew that crap like 200 some yrs ago
How could you possibly deduce that, that hand print was made by a girl? No way!
You can look at the ratios of the finger lengths in relation to each other also the width of each finger. You can also use the height at which it was painted from the floor.
For a given height (on average) men/boys have larger hands. Do you can look at different variables
Height of print
Palm size
Finger lengths ratio
Finger width
The catalog of other hand prints in the cave
Hope this helps
@@supernoodles908 it looks like OP was being sarcastic, but my question is: why tf would he be sarcastic about this
Pablum.
2:49 Brian turns into a horn
Those paintings could be modern and were all been tricked
Can we see more of the paintings and less of this guy's face please?
No
lol
Got to love these scientist's wonder and curiosity in a universe and world they find essentially meaningless with no absolute conclusion or any desire to arrive at one.There's something really disingenuous about the position they take.
dont touch the limestone
Did he just assume her gender?! How dare you!
The little girl would be annoyed some BBC dude kept showing her art for a second then fading to black.
Full adult,your wrong, denisovans,ill explain more if I'm paid.....alot.
That guy looks Like Luke skywalker holding a lightsabar
His voice and face makes me wanna break something
Tristen Eskine I agree, he's excruciating
Superstition? That's quite a loaded word.
Exactly.It's because he sensed something supernatural and had to counter it and give some scientific justification for why he shows interest.
Thousands of years of history only to end up looking like North Africa. I wonder if the European Caliphate will destroy these like their cousins did to their own artifacts.
Why in the world does it necessarily belong to a girl? Seems a bizarre assertion to make for no reason I can tell. You can’t even tell with a child’s skeleton, let alone hand outline.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Scientists seem to pretend they know things sometimes just to make it more compelling
Brian Cox reminds me of George Formby. Give me a superannuated David Attenborough any time.
Too bad, people love Brian Cox, suck it up.
I'm a painter and decorator and I find it hard to believe that paint can stay on a wall for 35000 years.
Well, there's a reason why you're a painter and decorator and not a scientist...
@@MarcosFerreira-kz8he GOT'EM
Marcos Ferreira god damn 😂
Must be good paint
It's not paint 😂😂😂
It look pp
But the world is just 2018 yrs old
😥😂😂😂
Its more like millions years old
I really hope you're not serious
This being managed to be born. And says the world is 2018 years old. That is pretty damn sad.
And some people don't understand sarcasm.
its a prank!
The hell you on about?
Much more than art à « deep » (😏) relation between the whole creation and individual ( this tragedy called « man »).
sorry, this guy and this production have no idea what they are talking about.
Still can’t build pyramids
the programm is great but you have david attenborough, he show to you explore and learn more brian cox, is like big nap no have any spirit to explain the universe is really sad to leasing here with any more like repet a dash. A lot of hair BROTHERHOOD
Who does this guy look like? I can’t get my finger on it
Transvestigation
Bob Denver of American vintage TV show Gilligan's Island. Mixed with Steven Tyler, and Google's Larry Page.
@@RUclipsr-ep5xx Yeah, if Cox said Denver was his grandfather I would believe him.
Lmao........And on the other side of the planet Pyramids were being built, languages developing, spirituality......... Europe handprints!!!
Pyramids weren't built the same time as this art was. This art was 35,000 years ago. The pyramids of Egypt were only built 5,000 years ago.
wait lmao... Do you think (Egypt) was the only place that had pyramids? There are pyramids much older than 35,000 years. And even your 5000 year mark is off if you're talking about so called Egypt.
Shay Pierce pyramids older than 35000 ? Are you deluded ?
no, I'm well informed.
Don’t worry everyone she just wanted to attempt to prove that black Africans are superior than European, which is stupid bc color doesn’t matter. only to racists
4d/2d ratio is a MALE hand. ever hear of science?
Random man on internet believes he’s smarter than researches who have spent their lives studying human development 😂
Brian Cox is like: '50% of these hand prints should be female'.
Not rocket science is it!
But the bible says no to this. 6000 years with Adam and Eve at the beginning!
Bible is just a book made by some people.
Bible never was and never will be a valid argument.
