Elliot went home that day, a changed man. He knew what it was like to be a Neanderthal. He knew what it was like to count to three. He finally understood why Prehistoric Sesame Street was a brutal affair.
Qwufi same bro, i was around neanderthals just like you, heard them in person and this reproduction is just not accurate. So dissapointed they didn’t quite capture the sounds the neanderthals made like we heard.
You're actually stealing years off of the now-extinct Neanderthal life. RUclips exists to cross the time barrier and ensure homo sapiens won. Thanks for doing your part!
Imagine having a time machine and you can't stop laughing to run even when Neandethals are trying to kill you because they are making those sounds lol....
@rellim92O Uhh.. what is your point..? Things can be both 1.) funny.. & 2.) informative, simultaneously. In fact, humor is a GREAT way to teach/learn. Proof? I can promise you 99% of viewers WILL NOT forget having seen this video.😭😭😭🤭🤷♂️
@@dahnmason3243 Well it's also as accurate as a time team archeologist telling us the goals and passions of some ancient people based upon the half fossilised bear tooth they found. The point is it is hilarious and stupid. There is ZERO way to tell what an animal sounds like based upon its bones... most sounds made by animals are generated via the soft squishy tissue that has long since rotten away. Also.. Neanderthals are very much with us today, and the genes strongly express themselves in some modern humans. Those humans do NOT sound like this, no where near. If you doubt it go to that giant russian boxer and tell him to talk.
Just imagine how aliens just visiting Earth. Taking a long look at a mammoth herd just to get distracted with a high pitch scream, "1, 2, 3, NAAAAARRGGGHHH!!!"

I completely believe this. I work in a factory, and we have a deaf production worker. He's never heard a sound in his life. Sometimes, when he needs assistance, he'll pick up a phone and make noises over the PA system to get his supervisor's attention. He makes "hoo" and hiss noises mostly. His "hoo" sounds are very high pitched, and nasally. It sounds odd because he's a very big and strong person. The higher, nasally sound must come from instinct for him because he has had no influence over his voice. It reminds me of the sound made in this demonstration.
But Neanderthals by contrast had some sort of hearing (though apparently and perhaps importantly, their ossicles were quite different from ours). So, the search for an answer continues
@@amandajstar true but they perhaps didn’t care how they sounded? At least todays humans can be very self conscious about how they sound. We are like song birds, we adapt our tune to the flock so to speak
@@DirtCobaine Yes, I expect they didn't care, because they had no standards. We can adjust our actual voices/timbres only within fairly narrow ranges according to our physiology. Beyond that, what you're really talking about is accent.
The people with nasal voices are having their nasal air flow blocked in some way. I hypothesize that if their nasal passages were bigger, they wouldn't have sounded like they had a head cold or a sinus infection. They would've sounded more open and thus less nasally.
How about a zombie prophet, born from a woman who did not have intercourse, coming back from the dead to re-unit with an obscure father-figure in the sky, who had sent the pre-zombie prophet to Earth in the first place so the zombie could die to compensate for the bad things that all the non-zombies did, even though the sky father made the non-zombies, and knew all these bad things were going to happen anyway, because this particular sky father knows EVERYTHING? Or, how about another alleged prophet, mating with a child wife, who flees up to a heaven god on a winged horse?Wouldn't you say those are much more ridiculous?
***** I can't disprove this, but I also can't disapprove that leprechauns are an alien race. But with no evidence to support either, they both sound like they were made up.
***** I'm not saying they didn't sound high pitched (not saying they did either), I'm saying they might be exaggerating the extremity of their voices. It also could just be conjectures purposely taken out of context by BBC for better notoriety. A lot of "science reports" do that frequently, and BBC has a few of its own instances. Since the study is not cited and they sound pretty casual even talking about it, I have trouble taking this seriously without researching on my own. I'll get back to you if I track down the source.

He seemed the exact opposite to me. Seems like he really takes his career choice seriously and liked this new interesting experience to do what he does for a living. He's a voice actor.
@@DweeD1516 that was my thoughts. His expression was a little odd but he probably doesn't usually have to you know crane his neck forward in such a way and push on a lady's hand while making his voices. I think it was more he was just intently concentrating to do a good job.
A colleague came to grab me during my prep period to show me this episode, which he was showing his biology class. This must’ve been over 15 years ago when it first came out. We were in hysterics in front of the whole class, literally crying laughing. I still come back here every now and then, because it is still one of the funniest videos ever.
Best laugh I've had in a long time- really. Laughed so hard at 1:55 I thought my coworkers were going to call emergency services. The voice, along with the utter nonsense of her "imaginings" as she put it... Monty Python couldn't have done better!
When a group of neanderthala is about to ambush a woolly mammoth and they're all hiding behind a rock. "Ready??? after 3, ONE TWO THREEE!!!! NHAAAAAAARRGHHH!!!"

Dude's a voice actor. Making strange sounds is literally his job. As far as he's concerned, this is perfectly normal, an interesting exercise at best.

Well yeah but still hilarious

Its still fucking embarrassing

Isn't it really weird though? Like what's it all about? What's the dance here? It's really strange that of all things this exists.
It makes me happy too as I smile and laugh each time I watch it!
They really could have used a little bit more technology for this...
What more could you want? Elliot does it perfectly!!
