Wait... So the hippo being the royal animal for Ankh-Morpork wasn't just (though still mostly, obviously) Terry Pratchett being extremely silly, but because hippos used to be in London? Huh. :)
Pterry was extremely well read so he would probably have known about all this really cool history of Britain and incorporated at least some of it into his writings.
That was a great video! Normally with a bunch of new words and names your brain checks put but the speaker was so eloquent with great pacing, made it easy to follow and enjoy!
My hypothesis is that Neanderthals didn't back across into Britain, because they were having too much fun with horse racing, which would also explain why the horses never came back at that time too. You know that Neanderthal with the gammy leg? Fell off his horse in a steeple chase. Damn it, now I can't get the image of Neanderthals wearing racing silks and riding boots out of my head.
She shouldn't need a female voice to get into science, I loved Bill nye and other male scientists, you should teach her to appreciate being taught from anyone not just a female, it isn't science for girls it's just science ❤
@@Thebeezzkneezz. Little girls will listen to a pretty young woman and see themselves in her more than a handsome young man. That's just one of the differences between boys and girls. Girls tend to want to see an idealized version of themselves before they take an interest in things, boys are less likely to do this. There's nothing wrong with either, it's perfectly natural. Criticizing a girl for having this inclination is like telling to "stop being such a girly, girl!!" :)
@immortal_shrooms6757 hmm ok but I never really understood that, As an example Tv shows; as a female myself I easily saw myself in the male characters I saw I didn't need a women to look up to to be inspired, I'm not very much into "science" but i enjoy listening to this stuff while I draw cuz its interesting, hearing a different narrator throws me off sometimes, (no hate to the narrator ♡) but thats just me tho
I believe it was mentioned that Britain at that time was an island. My guess is that maybe the difficulty of getting across the 'English Channel' was just enough that the gene pool of the Neanderthals that made it across was just too small to survive more than a few generations.

Hippo is Greek for horse, and seeing as there's horses still trotting through London (often bloody and crazed), then technically there are hippos in London 😂
@@CTY547 and ocean extinction events. The late pleistocene extinction is very interesting as well because how recent it is and conflicts with most people's ideas about humanity.
Would the sinking of Dogger land perhaps answer some of these questions. They already found some human remains under the water where Dogger land was as well as pottery and tools. Maybe that is where the humans were during that time period.

This is an example of a really really good presentation on RUclips. Too many videos the person thinks the viewer is there to listen to them yap. No. Give me the information. You presented this perfectly. Well done. I really enjoyed this video.
Had to watch 3 times, great video, clearly spoken and well put together. Presenter way too pretty tho, didnt hear anything for the first few minutes was in awe of her natural beauty.
Great video and I learned heaps about Britain's prehistory. My only criticism (constructive) is that Neanderthal is pronounced Neander(t)aal with a 't' sound and not a 'th' sound. This is because they are named after the Neander Valley in Germany and the german pronunciation is used, meaning the h is effectively silent. Overall a really well researched and interesting video, and it was really well presented! 😁
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you don't sensationalize or add your own personal opinion it's just the actual facts thank you so much for that
This was so clearly presented & in such an interesting way that I was able to follow along w/ very little trouble. Hippos in Britain! Who knew! I think the Neanderthals discovered riding, got on those horses, & scooted south for a 15K year vacay! Yeah? More like these, if you would be so kind, & I enjoy Emilia's presentation style.
Fascinating. I am American and so the ice age education I have only encompasses the USA, some of Canada, and Russia + East Asia because of the land bridge. I’ve never been exposed to any information about Britain’s ice age. I’m loving it!
Here in America you can see the local versions of hippos, elephants and even land whales, at any Walmart. Around Xmas you can even find them in stampedes 😂.
8:22 Slight correction there - it was P. spelaea not P. leo that occured there. Cave lions were able to live in the warmer climate too. African lions are unknown from Britain outside captive specimens.

Believe it or not, our ancestors NEARLY went extinct 900,000 years ago and were restcited to the shorelines. There were only a few thousand of them left. No one knew what caused such a near extinction, but our ancestors managed to survive.
That is the premise of 2001 A Space Odyssey. It begins with humans nearing extinction and being saved by the ability to use tools. It’s not a very plausible idea now we know many animals use tools. But at least it’s a coherent narrative
Neanderhals were bad at navigating. We only know of a very short coastal leg they made ever in all Prehistory: between coastal Greece and an island barely off shore. This may be an explanation for Neanderthals not reaching the Atlantic Islands if they were not there before.
"Bad at navigating" may have been a stretch. Perhaps inexperienced at crossing large bodies of water? I'm sure their navigational skills were fine considering how long they existed and how far they spread.
Humans made their second home in Australia right after Africa. And we continued to spread by boat at a rate unlike any humans before us; so more accurately it's just that we're awesome at navigating. For a great ape, they were probably fairly good navigators, just not compared to us
@@WeAllLaughDownHere-ne2ou - Archaeology suggests that they were really terrible at navigating because we don't observe them crossing bodies of water anywhere (with that Greek exception I mentioned). We see them walk all the way to Altai and Yemen even but they never crossed Gibraltar or Bab el Mandeb like we did, or to Crete, Philippines and Flores as seems some other sort of archaic humans did (pretty awesome but still not Neanderthals). Neanderthals were strong, smart, short legged and not into boating nor ranged weapons.
@@LuisAldamiz navigating and sailing were two different skills. Neanderthal has very good land navigation skills that likely translated over onto the water as well. What they lacked was long distance sailing skills. The ability to predict and analyze water currents and tidal interactions.
Yeah I don't think Neanderthals would have had any problem with warmer climates. Humans are very adaptable. You could take an Inuit person from Canada, Alaska or Siberia and move them to Florida and they would adapt to that climate quickly enough. I wonder if Neanderthals are truly a different species, or just a subspecies or pre-species. They weren't stupid at all, they were simply different physically. There are probably some humans born today who are physically neanderthal but nobody notices or recognises it.
Something similar happened in conic sliver of the east of Canada and much of the east of the United States, around the end of the ice age. Human activity disappeared for somewhere around 2000 years from those regions, when people from the west and southwest moved into these regions where they’ve been ever since.
Maybe the flooding event in the English channel created such a intergenerational trauma & misunderstanding of what was happening & why that they were scared to go there for a long time?
The auto subtitles really tried their best. I know it takes a bit more effort, but RUclips has a tool where you feed in the script, and it connects it to the audio, and it would really make videos more accessible - and it would be easier to take terms and search them having the spelling
