    I saw something on the internet that was about the bones of a girl found in a cave whose DNA showed that she was half Neanderthal and half Denisoven. It isn't hard for me to believe that I could have that kind of blood in me because my family blood comes from Scotland, Ireland, and Sylvania. I think it is Awesome! Thank you for putting this on the internet for me to see! I am now 86 years old as of January 3rd, 2023 and I love the internet. 👵🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ me, my 2 kitties Teo and TwoTwo

      We all Europeans have their DNA because 750 million of us come in some way from the original settlers of Europe alongside further waves that came, the Neolithic, the Yamnaya, etc etc... If you have Haplogroups U (like myself) you know your maternal line goes back all the way to Ice Age Europe. But even if you have H (a Neolithic farmer haplogroup) since we are all so mixed up you still have DNA from them (just not your haplogroup). I for example have R1b, which is Yamnaya, pastoralist from the Russian Steppe that came into Europe bringing the Horse, the wheel, and warfare 5000 years B.C. While my maternal haplogroup U5 is from 15 000 years ago, the Ice Age Glacial maximum. Meaning foreign men mixed with local women.

    There is never just one reason for things to happen. It's various conditions one on top of the other that pushes things to happen, ie extinction. The Neanderthals were absorbed into our culture and therefore they exist via us. They've 'evolved' into us. This is a brilliant documentary. Thank you so much for uploading it.

    Neanderthal’s strength and stamina, their intelligence and endurance-along with so many unique attributes-has always impressed me. I suppose the more evidence that turns up, the more modern humans will have to appreciate-and be appreciative of-the fact that Neanderthals were just as human as “we” are. And not to be disparaged as stupid or brutish. Thanks for the great watch!!

I remember telling people that they were men (of man kind). And that with a bit of grooming would easily pass as one of us. I am pleased that idea has become evident to other scientists.

    A constant supply of protein/food would be needed, and I think they would have seen animals trapped in mud and also in tangled undergrowth so would have naturally developed trapping methods as well; it's likely that younger, weaker members would have devised simple traps. They had to be intelligent to have thrived in extremely cold areas, they would have had a constant need to understand how to keep warm and feed their bodies to survive - even modern man can die very quickly in such environments with the best of equipment. Making a fire and having enough wood would have been vital in the snow areas. Thanks for an interesting look into the latest thoughts and findings on these ancestors. Regards to all.

      You know there are parts to all this I just have a hard time believing cause at the end of the day they are theories or you can call them a hypothesis, whichever you prefer. It just doesn't make sense how species that were that hardy and managed to survive for as long as they did, what over 330,000 yrs just died off. It wasn't really until we showed up, you know the killer of all things that the the last two of our relatives went extinct. Now keep in mind that interbreeding could only happen between a Homo sapien man and a Neanderthal woman due to her birth canal and not the other way around. So there are still lots of what-ifs. Until we can travel back in time and observe them we are never going to know the truth. My take is they met us and it went as well for them as the Aztecs meeting the Spanish.

Then again, I'm assuming the Neanderthals also had at least some such weapons; but perhaps they were less effective with them for some reason. On the other hand, maybe humans were outbreeding the Neanderthals, and we overwhelmed them by sheer numbers.

    It isn't a " mystery" why the neanderthal went extinct. It was obviously a combination of factors. The ice age was ending, modern humans were competing for the same food, and interbreeding. Their population was never big to begin with. The larger population just absorbed them. That's why Europeans and Asians are 2 to 5 percent neanderthal DNA. There had to be a lot of interbreeding. They would have been gone even without any factors. The interbreeding alone would have done it.

      Many people don’t realize that Neanderthals were also inbred. As a result their reproduction fitness was lower than Sapiens about 40%. They also interbred with the Denisovans, the added genetic diversity helped their compatibility with Sapien DNA thus further contributing to their absorption by Sapiens.

    This is so weird! It's the opposite of everything I learned about early hominids in school, which I thought were the same as Neanderthals. I seriously thought they were like the portrayals in the Far Side cartoons, bashing each other upside the head with clubs (ergo the term "knuckle-dragger")... and then slowly evolved INTO modern humans. This is the first time I'm hearing the idea of Neanderthals and modern humans existing at the same time. I also thought huge facial features were a Neanderthal trait that more or less died out.

    @raymondbass9305 9 месяцев назад +4

    Strikes me that the documentary is possibly missing something (so far, I'm abut 2/3 done). The lighter, flung, spears of humans would enable the hunter to carry and thus throw more projectiles per person into the intended victim from a safer distance (9-12 feet is less dangerous than 0"). Also, the argument has been that the physical structure of Neanderthal, for all the advantages it would afford the species, would limit the population... less ability to cover greater distances quickly would mean less successful hunting in terms of volume. Homo sapiens on the other hand were relatively lithe and could more easily cover greater ground than Neanderthal. Hence they had a greater population than Neanderthal... which may have added to the causes of extinction.

    First question: If we studied Neanderthals and other hominids as though they were not relatives, but any other animal taxon, would taxonomists use the same methods for classification?
    Second question: In the alternate paradigm of study, a species not closely related to the observer, would the hypothesis presented differ, and how?
    To me, it seems simple. If a population of arctic wolves suffered population decline from climate change, and a population of grey wolves took the opportunity to access a friendlier environment and spread over more territory, would we be pouring over evidence for an explanation?

    Another theory, which is only briefly touched upon is this video, is that homo sapiens was more warlike and agressice than Neanderthals. Even if Neanderthals were phyically stronger and just as intelligent as homo sapiens, they might have been wiped out by them if they were less inclined to fight and expand their territory than homo sapiens. One of the experts on this program does point out that history does demonstrate that homo sapiens is an extremely agressive and warlike species. If the Neanderthals were more peaceful and less aggressive than modern humans, homo sapiensa could have wiped them out over a period of several thousand years.

      They did experiments with the neanderthal brain gene and showed it was linked to slower creation of neurons in the brain’s cortex during development, suggesting that neanderthals had lower cognitive abilities than homo sapiens.

Both survived west and north-east of the ash-affected area, as the simulation maps show. The eruption may have been a factor, but surely not the only one, and probably not the most important one. So paleontologists and other researchers can be glad to have yet much work ahead!

    It’s a little misleading tho saying that homo sapien had superior spear throwing technology when homo erectus it is believed to have had superior spear throwing abilities due to a more open shoulder socket and homo erectus being older than heidelbergensis

      As explained, it took about 10,000 years after the appearance of modern humans before they dissapeared. You can do a hell of a lot of interbreeding in 10,000 years

      @peggyjones3282 Yes, but they also talked like the Neanderthals were no more. But if this were so that it wouldn't show up in our DNA, would it??? My blood line is strange. Neanderthal, S Africa, N Africa, over toward India, then from upper Russia, Mesopotamia, Viking, Iran, Ireland and finally Scotland to the USA.

      The way we determine species is very vague. You technically have 2% neandethal DNA, but because 98% is Homo Sapien you are considered Homo Sapien. Adding a dash of salt to a batch of cookies doesn't make them salty cookies. It's just cookies.​@johnbethea4505

    I think that the brow ridges of Neanderthal's probably helped them see better in all of that snow. Maybe they developed like that due to their location. It just makes sense to me.

    This is very well illustrated and informative. However, the tests comparing modern human throwing spears to Neanderthal thrusting spears do Not convince me. I don't know what the actual velocities were--they're using guesses. Secondly, a big advantage of throwing is that you're further away from the horns of the charging bison or the tusks of a huge mammoth.

    • @jaymannewell
      @jaymannewell Год назад +10

      Those stone points need not be used for thrusting alone is the anthropologists misconception.
      There are many known ways to use them, from pit fall traps to spring traps, then in favour of close contact, one might be in a safe high place like a cliff or tree giving a gravitational advantage. Neanderthals were definitely smarter and probably safer than this video implies.

      How do millions of species come from a pool of primordial soup?
      We have plenty of evidence of species going extinct but no evidence of this mysterious process that creates new species. Why didn’t evolution save the extinct animals? It wasn’t because of man made climate change that caused these extinctions either.

    I think Neanderthals didn't go extinct by the definition of that term. Yes, they disappeared as a distinct and separate genenome because they interbred with the homosapian of that epoch. Scientists have found Neanderthal DNA in many cultures around the world. I imagine homosapian women would have found them very desirable as mates. They would have likewise found these women very desirable.

    • @margaretlouise6200
      @margaretlouise6200 Год назад

      I think this is made obvious since if you have your DNA analyzed there is often a category of Neanderthal. Many people have found out they're, say, 2% Neanderthal. These people, the ones I saw videos of, were all European Caucasians.
