    Stupid of me not to mention this in the video but obviously, the closer we get in time to the last common ancestor of us and chimps, the more we will see specimens with a mixture of archaic and modern features. So it shouldn't surprise us that there is a lot of debate around early hominins.
    If we had the fossils of the last common ancestor, the first hominin and the first panin in front of us on a table, we probably couldn't identify which skeleton belonged to which family. They'd be too similar. Also, if the ancestors of us and chimps were interbreeding for millions of years then a clear cut off is never going to be identifiable. It may have just been a big orgy of ever so slightly different apes for thousands of generations.
    Big ape orgies make classifications hard. Thanks for watching, adios.
    Edit: ar. Ramidus is from the pliocene, not Miocene. The mistake is mine. Apologies.

    PBS Eons started me down this anthropology path a few years ago and you've now slammed it home for me. The way you present the information through your videos makes it very easy to understand. I especially like how you, seemingly, don't hold back in your presentation of information. You span the entire distance with each subject, starting with the basics on your way to disseminating the latest conventional theory. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You really are making a difference, if that matters to you.

    People had/have such rigid ideas of what "the missing link" should look like that many transitional fossils are excluded & argued over. But mother nature (evolution) is a tinkerer not a designer, so many different combinations of physical traits were probably "test run." So you might get ape-like teeth with human-like feet for instance in a skull that's halfway inbetween. Bipedialism was important but it didn't have to come before everything else necessarily. An unintelligent, helpless, upright walker out on the savannah wouldn't have survived very long...

      @boo boo full bipedalism was a gradual process that most likely started with just having more dexterous fore limbs to gather more food which also required a less specialized gut. Protein can be found in insects, grubs, worms & nuts which as you said allowed for a better brain. They've found fossils that indicate early hominids were still most likely semi arboreal even though technically bipedal. Cooking with fire came much later & so did the hunting that gave long distance running an advantage to hominids. I'm talking about very early hominids here which is what is being discussed in the video.

If they hadn't, homo erectus & homo habilis wouldn't have discovered fire & tool making that 2 million years later that led to the " big brains" of homo sapiens.

    Evolution is like when you play a game of snooker. It starts out with a whole lot of balls on the table but as you progress thru the game there are fewer and fewer. That’s why it’s hard to work out what went on as there were so many all with slight variations to each other. Perhaps a different way of classifying the bones not just relying of comparisons, idk maybe they already do that.

    Great video Stefan, I had no idea we could trace our ancestors so far back so accurately, even with all the doubts surrounding those specimens. Thanks

    You mean our earliest human ancestors? Are earliest ancestors were probably bacteria, or something even simpler.

Thanks for making such an educational content, you seem like such a cool guy, someone to have a long conversation with while sharing some beers.

I was just going through all my emails and unsubscribing from as many things as I could ... notifications of these videos are, I believe, the only survivor. No, the Intercept is another. Even though Hungary is a d'd long way away from the US. I hope, Stephen, you are doing fine healthwise.
