There was an actual British documentary a few years ago where a well known tv personality was made up to look like a Neanderthal and walked around London and didn't get much attention but that's London for you.😂 It was "The British Isles,a Natural History".

In terms of species, modern humans are Homo Sapiens Sapiens and Neanderthals were Homo Sapiens Neandethaliensis, so we were basically just different subspecies of the same species, kind of like wolves and dogs. Most people with ancestors from outside of Sub-Saharan Africa have some Neanderthal DNA, and depending on where you come from, you could also have up to 6% DNA from another species of human called Denisovans. Especially Aboriginal Australians and Melanesians. Fun fact: The first Denisovans that were found all had around 17% Neanderthal DNA themselves and an additional 4% from some unknown other species of human. Additionally, they all lived alongside other species of human, like Homo Erectus, who was the first species of human to venture out of Africa and was pretty ancient at this point, and also Homo Floriensis, who were tiny, island-welling humans. So, yeah, what it means to be human has certainly changed a lot. If I had a time machine, one of the first things I would do is to go back to that time, to see how different subspecies of humans interacted with each other.
The butler in Downton Abbey was played by the excellent Jim Carter. A fine character actor, who is married to another fine character actress, Imelda Staunton.
Neanderthals (and Denisovans) were (as far as we can tell) never very numerous, and tended to live in smaller groups more widely separated than did the more recent immigrants from Africa (i.e. us). It may be that in large part they simply re-merged into what became the much larger Sapiens population.
There is a really big chance that most of things in your book from college are outdated. Someone finds 3 bones of the wrong age in the wrong place and the whole chronology changes.
Are you talking at the end about QI presenter Sandi Toksvig, the legend that is the "Togs". She's Danish/American and it took years to coax her into the cage and tame her into the HUGE character she is today (a stature joke). We are keeping her as payment for Denmark inflicting on the UK, Vikings, The Dane law, Lego and Carlsberg beer among very few other things.
I've visited Málaga in southern Spain on holiday, where they have an excellent museum of the local history. There's plenty of evidence of a long-lived Neanderthal settlement in the mountains behind it.
QI is THE best programme. Quick wit and some interesting facts. I think they are up to letter T - SandiToksvig is the host and is as smart and quick witted as Stephen Fry. The format is aways the same, the comedians have changed over the years except for Alan Davis who keeps it rollling and provides lunacy if nothing else is coming.
British tv presenter Alan Titchmarsh was made up as a neanderthal for a documentary series, The British Isles, A Natural History. He got a few glances when he walked down the street, but not much more than that. It was cleverly done.
If you like the idea of a prehistoric person in the modern day, check out "California Man" (Encino Man in the US), from the '80s. Starred Brendan Fraser & Pauly Shore.
This is a very recent discovery. In 2009 Alice Robert's documentary series ,"The Incredible Human Journey" episode 3, she said so far no Neanderthal DNA has been found in humans. But subsequently I saw the headlines about the mixing. The series is about humans leaving Africa and spreading around the world. Only on daily motion now ;)
The big question is how did humans as we are now evolve so quickly. Like Nick said, ancient humanoids were around for a vastly longer time period than we have. As far as I know no one can explain how a complex species such as us can have evolved so much in such a short space of time. And not all of us have evolved at the same speed, some of us are building spacecraft while others are living in grass huts and hunting with spears.
That's all a matter of learned culture and the snowballing of knowledge, not physical evolution. Someone (I think David Attenborough)in the 1960's said something to the effect that, "In New Guinea, the grandsons of stone-age head-hunting cannibals are piloting airliners."
My fave humanoids were Homo Praestigiae, a species of early human-like people who spent most of their time juggling. This was highly advanced behaviour at the time. These days its not.
I like both old and new qi . Yes sandi toksvig is still hosting it . This year we will be doing the letter v series . . Only v w x y and z left . This programme will then have been on 26 years when it comes to an end . Stephen doing letters A to M and sandi doing letters N to present day
Its all bollocks, In the Bible humans lived upwards of 1000 years until God limited out lifespans to 120 years, so humans gradually lived shorter lives. When we age our brow ridge grows and protrudes, if humans were living hundreds of years then then brow ridges were more pronounced , thats all these people were, biblical humans who at one point lived longer. Of course modern science try to sell another narrative

You should check out, “Jeeves and Wooster” where Stephen Fry is the butler, just as Carson is on Downton Abbey.
Great show I remember watching it as a kid not sure if non Brits would grasp the comedy of the show though

I have met several of these Ns on buses and trains!! We now call them hippies 😂😂😂😂😂
I've been on the S28 with Neanderthalers, travelling to Dusseldorf. It's 4 stops on the train.
You should explore more of Jack Dee. He was the first Comedian to draw the big crowds at the Apollo Theatre!

This is one of my favorite clips. If you want to see a real neanderthal check out the RNC.

Always loved QI very funny 😆

Well, she was good on #73, at least.

You should watch an episode of "Jeeves and Wooster " its got Steven Fry in it and also the actor who is in House and Blackadder.
Yes, we all have a bit of Neanderthal.
Well, not sub-Saharan Africans.
Your mum does

The series is on RUclips. It can be found in episode 3.
It’s all good.

She famously laughed at the idea, because she decided she wouldn't fancy one. Bit of a faux pas for an archaeologist
@@grabtharshammer Well she is probably very picky who she goes out with :) She had her DNA tested. She is 2.7% Neanderthal.
@@DevaneDevane yes, but she was adamant at the time that it could never be true, she was wrong

They could start again
Nothing to stop them starting from A again
You want to see a Neanderthal on a Bus? Just look at everyone in a Bus in Peterlee (north-east England)
If the bus as vote Reform on the side of it.

No it's not; the Japanese call it qi, pronounced kee. The Chinese call it Chi, pronounced chee
