It is good this lecture was recorded and uploaded to RUclips. Richard Leakey makes a number of salient points. Considering how important his contribution to paleoarchaeology is, he was a modest man who always kept things in perspective and down-to-earth! Thanks for uploading.
The great Dr Leakey. RIP. The world is still wobbling on.
Actually, you put it very well.
Watching lectures like this is very important for increasing our collective knowledge
The value of Doctor 's Leakey words only increase with the passing of time .
Richard - having made observations of his fellow man at airports - spoke about modern humans having no Neanderthal admixture, but obviously since this talk was given, genetic studies have shown that, not only do humans have Neaderthal admixture, but that some have Denisivan admixture also.
Despite the lecture being given in 2008, it is worthwhile to listen.
He is spot on about our wasteful habits: I call our wasteful lifestyle “abject consumerism”.
Skip to 9:30. They took 3 minutes to introduce an introducer.
I slide forward the cursor til the tiny image shows I have reached the real speaker. Introductions are usually a useless bore.
Great man. RIP Richard Leakey.
I had no idea he is kenyan and was born there just like dawkins,,
I embarked on a journey of recreational dna testing with 7 different companies
To satisfy my curiosities
I never thought the testing will take away the old testament
Because the new bart erman had already taken it away from me
A week ago I cried with lots of emotions
To the fact that there is no heaven to go to
Neither will I resurrect as Ezekiel 37 says
I now will focus on this life
Never let the theories of men rob you of your soul. Your soul is eternal. Theories are transient.
Live your best life....this is all there is.
Welcome to the side of Reason.
Oh, I see. It's dated 2008. That explains why he believes modern humans have no Neanderthal DNA.
Nope, it’s 2021 and here’s that spanking-new Leakey research affirming your gross nieghbor is not part-Neanderthal ruclips.net/video/Hf93HpoqYso/видео.html
That video is from 2010.
Eric Dondero: glad he found out we do have DNA from Neanderthal before he died.
RIP Dr Leaky. Your fear of a future pandemic came true. Enjoy your rest.
Please share with other people my two brief videos. Thank you.
He was a great speaker. I haven't heard him speak lately.
He’s dead
He just died on January 2, 2022. I've been watching many videos lately from the Leakey foundation. I just heard of his death today. So sad.
He is wrong about his denial of a semi-aquatic past, but it was not a recent bottle-neck: it was how we became obligate bipeds in what is now SE Europe (on what is now the island of Crete) 6 million years ago....as we know from the Trachilos footprints (see Gierlinski et al 2018).
If we pared away the excessive intro and the politics, we might have an interesting 20 minute lecture. There have been other cataclysmic climate changes since the ice age, and also the 65000 year timeline seems way off.
Science marches on ……. 😊
It is very intriguing the fact that the only hominid present today on earth is Homo sapiens sapiens; all other hominids are extincts. Is this the consequence of a competition for space and resources? Or something totally different is the cause?! This should be clarified.
It is not known yet.
9+ minutes of needless introduction before lecture.
Great
I don't know how they say we do not have DNA from Neanderthals as we don't know what DNA they had as there isn't any one to take DNA from if there was only a few thousand humans on the planet so many millions of years ago how come we all have different blood group and different DNA and to say we didn't come from the sea is a qeastanable as our blood has the same salt saturation as seawater and that is the same saturation in all the 7seas and for all human beings lastly nature is a force to wander it will reduce the population of humans by either viruse or wars and you my think wars are made by man but nature is the key an example when a viruse wants to get into a sheep to attack and eat its brain called scrapy it first gets in to an ant the ant then each day climbs to the top of a leaf of grass and stays there all day every day until a sheep comes along and eats that blad of grass and the ant with the controlling viruse ends up the sheepskin gut and then the virus makes it's way to the nervous system of the sheep and it's amazing how it knows how to control the ant and the sheepskin nervous system which brings me to the fact that humans are probably no different we are probably being controlled by many different viruses with different intentions
Watched all of it
"Africa has considered almost residual appendage and yet it is Africa that has produced everything that gave rise to us…" "If we could demonstrate ... how we came into existence as a modern population … how WE relate to humans that live in Africa…" - Leaky just did exactly what he said people shouldn’t be doing. He refers to “WE” (i.e. modern humans) as if WE exist outside of Africa (with its origins in Africa) and as though the modern humans that have lived and evolved in Africa over the last 200,000 years are of little or no consequence or perhaps don’t even exist. He's talking as though Africa is important, but only because of its distant history and not because of who has been there since then except in as much as they've contributed to non-Africans.
Because they're not really from Africa...that's a lie. He speaks like that because they do "exist outside of Africa".
@@deaconsonnygriffin7732 Do you mean that humanity originated outside of Africa?
@@gastronomist No, I'm saying they didn't originate from Africa. Which is why they've been so against the people of Africa.
@@deaconsonnygriffin7732 How is that a "no" to my question then? 'Not from Africa' and 'outside of Africa' is the same thing.
@@gastronomist Humans originated from Africa...but everybody is not human.
why do people use quantum physics to prove their point when no one understands quantum physics?
Quantum proves a point not the other way round. I think you've mistaken authority over proof. Quantum is difficult AF but is descernable. Have another go at it xx
It would be more accurate to say that the people who use quantum physics to prove their point don't understand it nor do most of the people they are talking to.

To bypass the Introductions of Tedium.
{:o:O:}
good point 59 mins ... dont waste water
Please,
people of Sub-Sharan descent are working everyone here too hard here, i get more science work done when people argue with me,
but i really wish people would stop making this so much work for me.....i have other things i need to do, understand?
their idea of " slavery" is simply not letting them breed faster that the food grows..
they are not going to un-lean that ...this has to stop.
Dr. Leaky should read Svante Paabo’s book “N.M. - In Search of The Lost Genome”!
I expected more from Dr. Richard Leakey intervention! Disappointing!
first thing he said is " if it is true" lol
How curious: When he makes a joke the audience all make these " Ooo, ooo, ooo, ahh, ahh, ahh..." sounds.
Bad audio.
The old man's data is out of date! This is politics, not science.
Crossing chimps and humans, as he says, is senseless. He forgot also to mention that human caryotype is 46, while chimpanzee's is 48, and thus there is an inter-species biological barrier.
"Dr." Leakey is obviously not familiar
with V.D.
Ughhhhhh. Disappointing
Living in a world of theory.
Hypotheses and theories, the best way to reach the truth.
@@DulceN solid evidence is best way to the truth.
Race science.
Is there truth to Giant Red Haired people in US History.
The hubris of the man to claim fundamentalist threaten humanities survival.
It's hard to tell if he is over-estimating himself or over-estimating fundamentalists.
You are part of the problem.
We did not come from apes or monkeys or any of those stupid ideas.
You have the proof either way ? No, of course you don’t..therefore you must be religious, so that alone makes you a fool.
@@ianwatson3315 And your proof to the contrary? I didn't think so. In case you don't know, it is just a "theory" that the scientists think we came from apes. You DO know what ""theory" means don't you- or are you still an ape? LOL!!!
We share 98.8% of our DNA with chimps dude what other proof are you looking for… these videos always seem to attract angry religious nuts and I guess bored trolls.
@@alexburke1899 The lobster shares 99% dna with a roach, but neither are the same. All life comes from DNA, but it is the genetics that make the changes. Modern man Suddenly appeared about 45k years ago- that does not happen with the slow evolution. Do some more research. You are being lied to. Do not trust science controlled by money and interests.
@@newstart49 dude at least get some of your facts right if your going to argue this BS, modern Homo sapiens go back at least 300k years and we skeletons of homo erectus and other ancestors millions of years before that.
