Brilliant area of research, that seems to have been ignored. Evidence revealing the intelligence of early peoples has long been ignored. You go Girl!!!
Excellent discussion of a vital topic... What it seems to boil down to (in my opinion) is - just how "human" were the Neanderthals (and Denisovans?)... It seems more and more likely (with each new archaeological find) that the Neanderthals painted on cave walls, buried their dead (or at least eventually learned to do so), and they made clothing and footwear, not to mention their beautiful spear points and chopping tools. Thank you for your excellent work in this regard!
Excellent presentation. Not my alley [older, N-vs-MH, non-DNA/non-isotopic], but I learned much now of interest. [Beyond how D.J. opened, I also appreciated your IMHO sufficiently-quick-light survey of the field.] I'm curious if there is any 'seasonality' that can be determined for the northern-most 'outlier' sites, or the others too, I guess. I suppose such a cold-weather-era baseline would be problematic, but a less obvious approach might lead to not needing that first. Maybe. [*Amateur]
On the effect of footwear on foot skeleton...different types of footwear have different effects. What happens when you wear shoes depends on what kind of shoes...
She has spent a long time studying and considering the arcs of thought relating to her topic, which was very interesting. Post graduates should be given skills in spoken presentations.
Personally, my experience has been that women look the most "human" with no clothes, and once you start adding clothes, men and women become harder to tell apart.
I agree, very interesting topic and listened to the end, but a great pity about the "umms". They definitely reduce the enjoyment of the video. Especially as she seemed to be well on top of her subject.
Interesting information, the presentation was unfortunately not very well delivered. It’d be a shame if this information doesn’t get the attention it deserves because there has been no consideration of how it’s presented. I’d suggest looking at how Dr. Lee Burger and his team communicates with the public, he’s a great example of how good science communication can help support the work.
Dont be so petty! Its not toast masters competition! its a research presentation and the content and ideas are what is important and its not the sing song talent show for your entertainment. You are dismissed...
@@togodamnus Um verbal tics during any um oral presentation are not um “petty” - they’re um problematic and should um be brought um to a speaker’s attention. In um junior high school we um called pointing them out as um a “constructive criticism”.
@@executivesteps So you couldnt understand or be interested in what the researcher had to say or share because she paused for thought as she arranged her slides - and said umm a few times during beginning of the presentation? That is petty and your remarks werent constructive; they were rude and impatient. The presentation was interesting.
This was fascinating. I'm glad RUclips recommended this to me. Thank you for your time and research!

Really enjoyed this fascinating talk.
First clothing examples don't appear until 37:00 minute mark, 2/3's of the way through if you want to skip past the chaff.

Interesting topic! 🎉

This is a good way of learning and how to do better the next time.

Umm couldn't listen any umm longer umm.
Sorry, I couldn’t take the “umms” at the beginning of nearly every sentence. Interesting topic but I bailed out early.

@@togodamnus that’s the thing, if you don’t have to pause for thought or practice not pausing for thought you can reduce or eliminate the issue.
@@Coldheartedmanong there is no issue worth griping about.
