Archaeological evidence and sound scientific reasoning is what leads us to this conclusion on where we descended from. You say trash but on what basis? What that we all just popped into existence on each continent based on the Genesis?
@Leftyj013: In order: 1. Why wouldn't they? 2. What? 3. Gliding membranes + hair alterations into feathers. 4. Natural selection didn't "give" anything. The predecessors to birds didn't have wing nubs, they had gliding membranes (something sorta like flying squirrels, but not quite). Evolution doesn't create new features often, it adapts what is already there. 5. Natural selection doesn't "know" anything. You might as well ask "How does gravity 'know" to pull things?"
Before the universe and outside the universe. That does bring up the problems of human social behavior 1Should social behaviors interact according to moral or according to superior human attributes, or both? 2 Can the truth about evolution include the unexplainable awareness of a causation beyond all powers that exists even before the universe itself? 3 Is there a reason why human consciousness decision making has evolved in human minds from hundreds of thousands of years to unravel infinity?
If you do some research (or a quick google search) you will find your answers: The age of the Solar System (including the Earth) is measured by the radioactive decay of certain isotopes in rocks and meteorites. These isotopes (principally Potassium and Uranium) were created with the solar system. By measuring how much has decayed, we can very accurately determine how long it's been since they (and the rest of the solar system) were formed.
Okay. So one dude managed to cross the Red Sea floating on a log... hmm mmeh..feasible I suppose.. And then they managed to (swim?) the "100 miles of shark infested sea" to Australia.. now that's a stretch but I guess it's still not that far considering the low sea levels. But then how the HELL did they get to New Zealand??! Or Hawaii??! Or Easter Island?? Or any of the other distant pacific islands for that matter. Did the primitive hunter-gatherer stone-age man have the technology and know-how to build sailing ships?? I don't think so! Still seeking a scientific explanation for this, if there is one.
@apinballwizard: 1. Good question. Honest answer? We don't know yet, though there are hypotheses. This doesn't mean we will never know, and it doesn't mean that people can toss in any unsubstantiated answer. 2. Nothing exploded in the big bang. It was a rapid expansion of space time. There was no darkness, because there was nothing before.
@magiclemark It works here with "RealPlayer Downloader"... Actually, when you place your mouse arrow on the video screen, you should see a blue rectangle up right saying "download this video" . Click on it and follow instructions to install . IMPORTANT : When you want to download any video on RUclips you must wait until the bottom bar gets fully red .
i did research it which is why i said it... this from the BBC "The question of whether modern humans and Neanderthals mated when they encountered each other 40,000 years ago is highly controversial. "One US scientist recently suggested modern humans might have acquired a variant of the brain gene microcephalin through interbreeding with Neanderthals. "... The researchers say more extensive sequencing is needed to address this possibility."
Exactly, paternal ancestry is also much more difficult to determine, before historical record of course. Paternal ancestry is traced via mutations in the Y chromosome, but is much more innacurate than mitochondrial dna, which traces maternal ancestry.
This 10 minute clip is not about evolution at all but about human migration. If it is part of a larger video, a subtitle for this segment would have been helpful. Still, important and interesting information.
the only thing i have to note is the guy at the end said explosion, where he meant expansion seeing as an explosion implies oxygen wich did not exist at the time
Amen. Science and hard work got us here, not praying. It's like something like my grandfather used to say before dinner. "no need to say grace, someone worked for it."
Ikyll of course the big bang is, as you say "being looked further into". The thing to keep in mind is that the science of cosmology is still pretty new compared to physics and chemistry for example. Science AT THIS TIME cannot explain what "caused" the big bang or what preceded it. Science, however is not dogmatic and cosmologists will continue to collect new data and further refine our understanding and theories.
When a certain animal develops a skill or trait that helps it survive and reproduce better, that trait eventually appears in all animals of that species as the ones who do not have the trait are weeded out of the population(s). Over a very long time and a very slow weeding out of the less adaptive animals who do not contain that survival and breeding enhancing trait, the species now has that particular trait. Natural selection is a slow but beautiful process.
And more and more discoveries are being made every day in all the sciences. And to think that most of the major discoveries have only been made in the last few hundred years.
Because in the context of this conversation we have a scientist stating one thing, publishing papers, receiving funding etc, who is then written off as a quack by the supposedly "mainstream" scientific community who hold with the opposite view, and yet "All scientific knowledge is provisional. Everything that science "knows," even the most mundane facts and long-established theories, is subject to reexamination as new information comes in." Scientific American editorial, December 2002.
It's probably a little bit of both. Surely most of them died out and some of them could have assimilated with our ancestors. But the lineage of those people would have thinned as the majority of our ancestors genes filled out. So, there are probably only traces left in us.
I don't know why we can't respect each others opinions!! Let Atheists be Atheists, Christians be Christians, Muslims be Muslims, Jews be Jews, Buddhists be Buddhists, Hindus be Hindus, ect. The is no excuse for going around on the internet criticizing people for their beliefs! It's called being a troll, and no one likes trolls.
"i want to know of an animal, who's genetic make-up has changed or can be changed in such a way, that would allow it to begin producing a different species." Google observed instances of speciation and go to the talk origins page (it should be the first link), and you can find all sorts of examples of speciation. One example, the first one on talk origins, is O. Gigas which evolved from O. lamarckiana through Polyploidy (having a chromosome number more than double the basic or haploid number)
Because sunlight is needed for the production of vitamin D. Our skin produces vitamin D in response to UV light. In the north, there's less natural sunlight, and thus less UV exposure. A dark skin is indeed better at protecting from UV radiation, but SOME UV radiation is needed for the skin to produce vitamin D. In the North, with less UV radiation in the environment, a lighter skin that allows more of it through is protection against vitamin D deficiency.
If you examine the rock layers the theory is that each layer is laid down over time but the space in between the layers also indicates a long period. Why are there no signs of roots, vegetation, animal burrows, grass etc. (leave my garden for a month or two the weeds take over) The steam was destructive though obviously not to the point you speculated. The only safe place was in the sealed Box called the Ark, an ordinary boat would have been destroyed. Many rocks were fired into space
What created the big bang at first ? Matter out of nothing ????? Lavoisier said : " Nothing is lost, nothing is created . All is transformed . " For those interested, Stephen Hawkins talks about something new called : " Minds theory " . Many physicists think seriously about it .
Yes, if X = Y, than Y = X , as I remember in math classes, both are right. Why should I pick up any any particular idea of two contradicting? In most cases I don't have to pick up any, that's simply not my consern. Even if it is a consern I usually do not pick up leaving both eqaully possible unless one is simpler (but gives similar results (Ocom's razor), more logical within itself and/or are better empirically proven. Bubble? I didn't understand this one.
Science does not owe you explanations for poorly formed questions. Scientists *OBSERVE* that there was an inflationary expansion of space, in the same way that you *OBSERVE* that the sky is blue. If there is an explanation to be had, then so be it, but in the mean time if there is not, that doesn't mean its false.
Since 1967 the SI unit for 'One second' has been measured using the cesium atom and if the solar year was to have a variance then some years would have a leap second added and some years it would be subtracted or stay the same. With an expanding earth the angular momentum will increase adding a corrective second. I believe the earth expansion happened suddenly and slowed. (like Mount St Helens volcano which blew suddenly then slowed to glacial speed) The geology points that way.
Wait - there's some inaccuracies and glossing over here - Neaderthals preceded homo sapiens by 60,000 years and they probably coexisted with homosapiens for 10,000 years.
Very correct! It is a theory after all... and it's becoming more observable... I had something different in mind... perhaps a very large group of quasars (like the singularity) had exploded... causing a sort of ripple and expanding effect on the universe... Black holes are being more explained too... I think stars collapse maybe galexies collapse too...
i am in no way a "creationist" but the idea of an omnipotent "god" or whatever you would like to call this influence implies that it was not created but that it has always, and will always exist. there are still many mysteries.
You are right. The history of science is replete with very smart people who didn't know something. It was those very smart people doing science that taught us what we didnt know. What makes me so sure the Theory of Evolution is correct? A working knowledge of the scientific method, a good understanding of the science behind evolutionary theory. This working knowledge came from many hours of reading and understanding not only the evidence in favour but also the arguments against it.
from the New York Times: "The scientists did not get around to the nitty-gritty question until the fourth hour of a 2½-day symposium on Neanderthals, held recently at New York University. "...The conferees debated, but never resolved, the possibility that Neanderthals could have been an evolutionary and anatomical species, distinct from Homo sapiens, but not strictly an isolated biological species. That is, the two species may have been enough alike to mate and produce fertile offspring.
Great series. Only question is can you please reference the sources you used putting this together so I can read up on the subject. Especially the early hominids.
@GhostaZZ the video was made based on all the evidence that has been collected and dated through out the years, so it is not a theory , its evidence ,its based on fossils and other artifacts as well as using uranium and radiocarbon dating methods and experimentations , as for the meteor , im not sure what youre referring to , can you be more specific :-)
They shouldn't have clips this long dedicated to comedy. I was laughing so hard I had to go back and re-watch some of it. Evolution, if that's what this was about, takes millions of years not mere thousands.
If you really want to learn about evolution and why it's considered a fact in an easy to understand manner, I highly recommend you read 'The Greatest Show on Earth' by Richard Dawkins. If, however, you want to continue making absurd comments with no knowledge of the subject, continue on.
Professor Svante Paabo, director of genetics at the renowned Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, will shortly publish his analysis of the entire Neanderthal genome, using DNA retrieved from fossils. Paabo recently told a conference at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory that he was now sure the two species had had sex - but a question remained about how "productive" it had been. he said. "I'm sure that they had sex, but did it give offspring that contributed to us?"
Professor Svante Paabo is the leading scientist in this field and he says the chances are they did. We shall have to wait and see how the evidence develops, as research is still ongoing.
I don't like trolls but...it is sometimes hard to not criticize an individual for particular beliefs which lead to things that affect others. Especially as an atheist who is affected by religious dogma.
Before the advent of molecular dating it was assumed everyone walked into Asia and that Australia was only recently colonised. Yemen doesn't share as much of the recent DNA signatures which are found elsewhere on the Arabian Peninsular. This suggests the original population of modern humans outside of Africa first landed there. It is believed that Homo erectus the ancestors of the Neanderthals/Denisovens did cross the landbridge between Africa and Asia. It is a natural route especially when the climate was wetter.
It's really beautiful. I like that our ancestors spread all over the world in so many thousands of years ago. I don't know what I think about civilisation, If we were still normads, maybe there wouldn't be so many wars and evil in general in the world. But we wouldn't understand the world like we do today. There's both a positive and negative side about civilisation.
When dealing with such extremely long time periods that dates so far back into the past and trying to probe realms of nature that we have absolutely no access to, our only hope is to study the remnants or evidences of these realms and by using the scientific method, explore what the evidences tell us about nature.. Religion, on the other hand, is based on ideology passed down for generations..
They are actually called "planetary systems," being, you know, planets. Star systems are systems of stars orbiting a central point, such as binary stars. Also, the English name for our sun is not "Sol" (that is the Latin name), but simply "Sun," just as our moon is called "Moon" (the Latin is "Luna"). The Latin "Sol" and "Luna" are occasionally used to distinguish the Sun and the Moon from other suns and moons, but they are no more "names" than "The Republic of Ireland" is the name of Ireland.
Why does everyone have to debate evolution? Why can't people just agree to disagree and respect one another's opinions? Science supports the evolutionary and out of Africa theories (which are proven by scientific facts over and over, remember that gravity is just a theory), but it does not disprove faith. Why can't both ideas be right?
and as Abraham Lincoln once said; "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time?" which is rather like wave/particle theory from science, and duality from religion. My point is science is riven by paradoxes, just like everything else, that is the nature of the universe, and the same gaps in knowledge exist in both science and religion, like "why anything?"
And that's why Darwin's theory is a bit sketchy because humans didn't have that time period needed for the transmutations to take place they just couldn't happen in a few hundred thousand years.
But the Geology of the Earth shows that all the continents were once a single piece of land known as Pangaea. We know this from testing the common factors where the lands used to connect (same rocks, fauna and flora etc) What you've never been told is that Pangaea wasn't a mass of land in the middle of a great ocean. The same geological tests show that the edges of Pangaea were connected and that could only have happened on a smaller planet with no Oceans and Seas. They appeared after expansion!
People miss the implication of the Out of Africa theory. Asians, Europeans and Native Americans encountered new climates and challenges that forced them to make further adaptations. Humans who stayed in Africa encountered fewer challenges. People refuse to state the obvious out of fear of being called racist. But the Out of Africa theory clearly implies it. Watch the video again, and listen for it. I'm not a racist. I'm just stating what's implied in the video.
one facet of the argument yes, but the end result is the same, a "belief" system, or system of belief; they are two sides of the same coin, they serve the same purpose ultimately, to try and make sense of what it's all about without having the first clue as to what it is all about.
@Vildasnaga Please explain to other viewers and me : HOW is it a demonstrated theory ?... "Nothing is vanished either is created, all is transformed ." ANTOINE LAVOISIER .
Now you're getting the Idea. It was a really REALLY! big event. It sent rocks onto space. It gave us the oceans which gave us weather, seasons and polar Ice caps. It gave us the fossil record as those living breathing animals that weren't encased instantly were vaporized. It gave us Mountains and valleys, clouds and rain. As expected, tales of the event were passed on and recorded by every ancient culture since. It's like one of those magic eye pictures, once you see it you can't 'not' see it!
Yes, I agree it is something quite difficult to comprehend. There is no "before" the big bang, only after. Energy, Light, even Time itself came into existence with the big bang. To talk about 'before' the big bang is impossible, because not even 'nothing' could have existed. :D
How scientifically accurate is the information in this video; specifically these theories of the earliest human journeys? Could you please direct me to the papers or publications that support this information? I am sincerely asking as I am very interested in this area of human evolution (deciding to journey against harsh and unknown odds).
Uhm.... What I do find it hard, is to take seriously an appeal to show information that can easily be found over the web or in ANY given library of the modern world. Plus...ANY highschool student is taught where to look for more info about human evolution and anthropology in general or specific. Now... go use google, add Stanford or Harvard, to the search bar, and see what there is to know about human evo
Now he is confusing GMT with UT time. Do you even know the difference is cause by the solar year is what we base the second on and not atomic clocks. That is why they must add leap seconds duuurrrr
Hello, fellow human. I really want you to look up how exactly it all happened. I really want to share this knowledge with you. You are right, this is all very amazing. But i do not think you fully can grasp just how intense and mind blowing it all is. Please, read some books on physics of the universe. You will have your mind blown for sure.
So a scientist must therefore "believe" that what they are doing is important and worthwhile even when all around say they are mad. History is littered with cases of this, and as with Oppenheimer, on the day they actually dropped the bomb no-one knew for sure that it wouldn't start a chain reaction in the Earth's atmosphere, but they did it anyway, a leap of faith in their science that this wouldn't happen. So yes @Kesc777 , I stand by my point that both involve belief
@Vildasnaga , all dogs belong to one species... and they're actually subspecies of wolves.... on the hominids... some say the sapiens displaced the derthals... but some, if I'm not wrong, say that derthals got assimilated within the sapiens... not too sure about this though....
Wonderful video. Minor quibble though- they show Macchu Pichu as evidence American was inhabited long ago. That development is less than 500 years old.
Yes. Some people in comments will disagree hundreds of years of scientific research & will put forth new theories with just comments.
Really interesting how most religions come from old human civilisations around the Persian areas
fj14 yep, everything came from that area. till about the time of the roman empire, that was the only livable area.
What about the civilisations of China, South West U.S./Meso-america and South America, South East Asia?
Archaeological evidence and sound scientific reasoning is what leads us to this conclusion on where we descended from.

This suggests the original population of modern humans outside of Africa first landed there.
It is believed that Homo erectus the ancestors of the Neanderthals/Denisovens did cross the landbridge between Africa and Asia. It is a natural route especially when the climate was wetter.
It's really beautiful. I like that our ancestors spread all over the world in so many thousands of years ago. I don't know what I think about civilisation, If we were still normads, maybe there wouldn't be so many wars and evil in general in the world. But we wouldn't understand the world like we do today. There's both a positive and negative side about civilisation.
When dealing with such extremely long time periods that dates so far back into the past and trying to probe realms of nature that we have absolutely no access to, our only hope is to study the remnants or evidences of these realms and by using the scientific method, explore what the evidences tell us about nature.. Religion, on the other hand, is based on ideology passed down for generations..
really puts our life into perspective.
and maybe, a little bit of we don't exactly know what existed before the universe as well.
I so agree with simpsonmark, This is very well done . So is Genesis 2.0. This film maker makes me proud to be a human.
All countries must link together in peace and human rights
wow we have gotten a long way really amazing.
They are actually called "planetary systems," being, you know, planets. Star systems are systems of stars orbiting a central point, such as binary stars.
Also, the English name for our sun is not "Sol" (that is the Latin name), but simply "Sun," just as our moon is called "Moon" (the Latin is "Luna"). The Latin "Sol" and "Luna" are occasionally used to distinguish the Sun and the Moon from other suns and moons, but they are no more "names" than "The Republic of Ireland" is the name of Ireland.
Those videos should be the framework for school programs.
Why does everyone have to debate evolution? Why can't people just agree to disagree and respect one another's opinions? Science supports the evolutionary and out of Africa theories (which are proven by scientific facts over and over, remember that gravity is just a theory), but it does not disprove faith. Why can't both ideas be right?
Seeking approval again... And if you don't care about evolution then why comment?
In what way ?
great series,verry good explained
and as Abraham Lincoln once said; "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time?" which is rather like wave/particle theory from science, and duality from religion. My point is science is riven by paradoxes, just like everything else, that is the nature of the universe, and the same gaps in knowledge exist in both science and religion, like "why anything?"
And that's why Darwin's theory is a bit sketchy because humans didn't have that time period needed for the transmutations to take place they just couldn't happen in a few hundred thousand years.
you are not alone.
can't believe some people are still so close-minded about this as if they're from the 1800s...
Thanks for making these!
That's a very interesting thought. It explains that God or a god will always be in the human mind as long as there are things that are unknown.
@Exile1a
That reminds me, I have always wondered why the Pilgrims thanked "God" when it was the Natives who helped them survive the winter.
it's all about technicians allocating resources. :)
But the Geology of the Earth shows that all the continents were once a single piece of land known as Pangaea. We know this from testing the common factors where the lands used to connect (same rocks, fauna and flora etc)
What you've never been told is that Pangaea wasn't a mass of land in the middle of a great ocean. The same geological tests show that the edges of Pangaea were connected and that could only have happened on a smaller planet with no Oceans and Seas. They appeared after expansion!
Can't get past the loud background music!
People miss the implication of the Out of Africa theory. Asians, Europeans and Native Americans encountered new climates and challenges that forced them to make further adaptations. Humans who stayed in Africa encountered fewer challenges. People refuse to state the obvious out of fear of being called racist. But the Out of Africa theory clearly implies it. Watch the video again, and listen for it. I'm not a racist. I'm just stating what's implied in the video.
and what is the common denominator in all systems?
one facet of the argument yes, but the end result is the same, a "belief" system, or system of belief; they are two sides of the same coin, they serve the same purpose ultimately, to try and make sense of what it's all about without having the first clue as to what it is all about.
@Vildasnaga
Please explain to other viewers and me : HOW is it a demonstrated theory ?...
"Nothing is vanished either is created, all is transformed ." ANTOINE LAVOISIER .
Beautiful series, thank you for posting this :)
Now you're getting the Idea. It was a really REALLY! big event. It sent rocks onto space. It gave us the oceans which gave us weather, seasons and polar Ice caps. It gave us the fossil record as those living breathing animals that weren't encased instantly were vaporized.
It gave us Mountains and valleys, clouds and rain.
As expected, tales of the event were passed on and recorded by every ancient culture since.
It's like one of those magic eye pictures, once you see it you can't 'not' see it!
I really enjoyed this series of videos, thank you very much. :)
Does anyone know the music that plays during the trek to the Americas? It's incredible.
Yes, I agree it is something quite difficult to comprehend. There is no "before" the big bang, only after.
Energy, Light, even Time itself came into existence with the big bang. To talk about 'before' the big bang is impossible, because not even 'nothing' could have existed. :D
How scientifically accurate is the information in this video; specifically these theories of the earliest human journeys? Could you please direct me to the papers or publications that support this information? I am sincerely asking as I am very interested in this area of human evolution (deciding to journey against harsh and unknown odds).
Uhm.... What I do find it hard, is to take seriously an appeal to show information that can easily be found over the web or in ANY given library of the modern world.
Plus...ANY highschool student is taught where to look for more info about human evolution and anthropology in general or specific.
Now... go use google, add Stanford or Harvard, to the search bar, and see what there is to know about human evo
Now he is confusing GMT with UT time. Do you even know the difference is cause by the solar year is what we base the second on and not atomic clocks. That is why they must add leap seconds duuurrrr
Hello, fellow human. I really want you to look up how exactly it all happened. I really want to share this knowledge with you. You are right, this is all very amazing. But i do not think you fully can grasp just how intense and mind blowing it all is. Please, read some books on physics of the universe. You will have your mind blown for sure.
So a scientist must therefore "believe" that what they are doing is important and worthwhile even when all around say they are mad. History is littered with cases of this, and as with Oppenheimer, on the day they actually dropped the bomb no-one knew for sure that it wouldn't start a chain reaction in the Earth's atmosphere, but they did it anyway, a leap of faith in their science that this wouldn't happen. So yes @Kesc777 , I stand by my point that both involve belief
@Vildasnaga , all dogs belong to one species... and they're actually subspecies of wolves....
on the hominids... some say the sapiens displaced the derthals... but some, if I'm not wrong, say that derthals got assimilated within the sapiens... not too sure about this though....
good documentary, very interesting.
great series. thank you.
Wonderful video. Minor quibble though- they show Macchu Pichu as evidence American was inhabited long ago. That development is less than 500 years old.
