I really enjoyed this talk. I am so grateful for Dr. Berger & others, for changing the status quo- possessiveness & childish "it's mine" attitudes do nothing to benefit science & knowledge. Learning is no longer only for the rich, connected & privileged, despite all the attempts to keep it that way.
Interesting....unless he think as the changes in the early primates through to neanderthal to sapiens ''as the development through out thousands of years had to change at some stage ..but I get what you're saying...
1:40 finally some honesty from the evolution community. Walking thru the natural history museums, you'd think they found full fossils of "missing links"
Agree...but people won't go to a museum to look at a piece of bone or tooth..the want to see ''homo erectus ''or neanderthal in full ...but I get what you're saying...
I have qualms about Google. If you ask it how many sides does a tree have, it says none. That is narrow Euclidean thinking. There's an Inside, and Outside. If it is fallen, we notice it's on its Side. May be able to ascertain Cardinal Directions, moss on the Northside. Pictured from above reveals a Topside...
A number of quesyions. Why are the comments sections of anything on evolution always invaded by the semi-literate, religious fundamentalist meme. Second, are all such comment writers American, if so (or even just the majority of 'em) why?
Alan Hasson - As an American, I can not quibble with your analysis. Though I lack formal education myself, I often cringe when I read the comments of my fellow citizens. Why are so many spouting “semi-literate, religious fundamentalist” rhetoric? I lack an answer to that question.
The bias of research shows when you actually compare information. Anyone for chimpanzee bones? Or 2 single teeth end up being an artists' rendition that has a full body, muscled and haired & erect with a whole family surrounding it. We buy a whole lot of supposition to support a paradigm. Ask a dentist, even some of the jaws that are found are placed in positions of impossibility to change the face look from ape to more human like and photographed. These mock ups of reality are then put in the magazines as 'science'. These jaws would not function as the ligament attachment points would mean the leverage point would not be in position for the jaw to actually operate. But hey we need a story to fit the answer science wants. Evolution without evidence. ..........Millions of years and apes changing into man. Most people are not critical in their thinking and trust so much in science without questioning the paradigm in any way.
@@FreshAirRules It's how I see it. The first to tell the "truth" always seems right. Truth is a controlled commodity now. There has been a lot of silencing over evidence disputes.... Frankly evolutionary theory is up there with belief if Christ....except one is real the other is faith in interpretation. Science has become a religion for people who want to avoid God & judgment. I have experienced a personal healing from the Messiah & absolutely adored science biology in my younger years. Put bones of various sizes & densities in a muddy swirling bath of water with intense power in total chaos .... Animals engulfed in minutes by intense snow fall. So to be petrified, ossified or preserved whilst still eating. The big bones end up down the bottom & the Cambrian explosion mainly above in the non quick chill area. Crustaceans on mountaintops....trees petrified through layers that are millions of years difference according to the established theory... .yeah that dumb Christian myth of a flood catastrophe is so stupid. Not.
This is a beautiful video, but unfortunately it's unscientific biologically: Mio-Pliocene hominoids (apes, incl. australopiths) were already upright, but not for running: they waded bipedally & climbed arms overhead in swamp forests (like bonobos & lowland gorillas still do in forest swamps in search of waterlilies or sedges), google e.g. "aquarboreal ancestors". And for the evolution of the genus Homo during the Ice Ages, google "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo PPT".

Casey Jude - Well spoken, thank you.
What a fantastic program. It's a great story and exciting science. So glad Dr. Berger can do justice to his find; he's an excellent speaker.
What a lecturer! Fantastic.
And this was even before they discovered the rising star cave!
I have see this so many times and it still keeps me engrossed …………. you cannot even make this up.. lol. wow.
@@b.g.5869 Please don't get me wrong............. i am really grateful for this vid. totally opened my eyes.
39:50 why add whites of the eyes to this primate? Do we know it had human like eyes, as opposed to primate eyes (no whites)??
Interesting....unless he think as the changes in the early primates through to neanderthal to sapiens ''as the development through out thousands of years had to change at some stage ..but I get what you're saying...
This is great! Good work Lee Berger!
Fascinating and inspiring talk.

@@captur69 if religious people took a piece of wood, then rebuilt Noah's ark, it would be laughable :) I don't see a difference here
The shift in perspective is very powerful. When one views the world like this magic happens.
Thanks for this.
Reg Gupton
Fantastic discovery!
Where can we find the paper showing how these were dated and by whom?
Thank you Sir.
A dedicated, brilliant scholar with intuition and intergrity at work.
What a great discovery !!!
this lecture should be herd in every school every where along with the climate emergency .
Awesome talk
Amazing!
He and Dr. Hawks will encourage more students to become anthropologists and I think more than Indiana Jones

Also at Halloween, some may reveal a DarkSide....
Or as a director to cute munchkin, 'Please stand at the tree's Leftside.'
sounded like he introduced the series as "Toxic Google"

Some people really believe the earth is a few thousand years old...and can't fathom what the experts say....I guess...
@@barryblackwood6050 Well said Barry. Finally some common sense. Finally some rational thinking.

First comment...couldn't help it.
Great talk
I foresee a day when Google will make these videos disappear for political reasons.
That must be exciting for you.
we need to find this stuff before we destroy it because we are our own worst enemy this should be the most important ?

No such thing as "an abnormally long arm."
Is Google funding this research?
I doubt it
