Paleo Human Mysteries: A Four Part Series: Episode 4

- Neil Bockoven is an award-winning geologist, journalist and the author of the historical fiction “Moctu” series -- Moctu and the Mammoth People and The People Eaters (July 2022) - as well as a children’s science book titled When We Met Neanderthals.
Paleo Human Mysteries is a four-part documentary series (produced and hosted by Neil) that examines some of the greatest mysteries surrounding our early ancestors. Did we interbreed with Neanderthals and other archaic human species? And why did we survive, while they did not? Based on Neil’s exhaustive research, the series delves deep into the Paleolithic era and the interactions of paleo humans and explores the most recent discoveries being made through archaeology and genetics.
Episode 4 is titled "The Name Game" for good reason. In it, Neil explains where the name Neanderthal originated and the startling resistance of many leading scientists in the 19th Century to even consider the possibility that other human species inhabited the earth with us. Even after the archaeological evidence was undeniable, some scientists proposed naming the new species "Homo stupidus," showing the arrogance of Homo sapiens. The whole debate culminated in one of the most unusual dual challenges in history - the choice of weapons being sausages!
In an addendum to the series, Neil also discusses his books - Moctu and the Mammoth People and The People Eaters - and scientific research that underlies them. And he talks about his popular children's book - When We Met Neanderthals - which also is available everywhere books are sold.
Episode One - "You Sexy Beast,"- aired on July 12, 2022. Episode Two - "Killer" Instinct" - launched on July 29, 2022. Episode Three - "Ancient Footprints" - premiered on August 19, 2022. The last episode of the series - "The Name Game" - was released on Oct 3, 2022.

Woke up this morning. Brewed coffee then watched these videos and it feels like I’ve just finished a vacation! Haha.
Wish I could go back to watch this series again with the same mindless curiosity !
Also I like how you hold you’re confidence on the ground of you're knowledge! I hope we can bring that back! For everyone
Thanks Chip - so glad you liked the videos!
I binge-watched all four of these before breakfast this morning. They were so interesting and fun! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Linda - glad you liked them!
The history of the discovery of Neanderthals was fascinating stuff as usual, but the anecdote about the sausage duel made me laugh out loud.
Same. If ever challenged with weapons of choice....
Glad you enjoyed that - I did too!
Great series, thank you! I’ve learned so much!
Thanks Doug - glad you liked it!
I'm glad to hear of your books. Auels books were fascinating. I read all of them, some twice . I hope yours are, also.
I made a comment on the first video of this series wondering what The Earth’s Children series would be like with up to date research on Neanderthals, and I think I’m about to find out as soon as I get ahold of one of your books! I loved those Geico commercials. They were hilarious. How funny about the sausage duel that almost was, and Neanderthal translating to “new people”. How unintentionally ironic, lol. Take care.
Jean Auel is an amazing lady and a hero of mine! You're going to like this new series!
Enjoy this series and hope you do more.
Thanks Keith - glad you liked them. I'll be making 5 more starting at the end of July.
Absolutely loving your video series, Neil. Thank you and keep up the great and important work..(Sandy Cline)
thank-you very much for this informative and entertaining series - subscribed, and book on order
What a nice comment - so glad you liked the series!
Going to get your books...so fascinating...thankyou!!
Xlent. All four episode were very enjoyable and informative. The section on KODAC was very balanced, amongst a sea of potential 'bones of contention'. 😉
Thanks Sylvester - glad you liked it!
Thanks. Very informative. I think Denisovans are really interesting too.
I agree! Mind-blowing that we knew nothing about them until 2010.
Fantastic content. All 4 videos. Will defoget the books. Appreciated! 🙏
Thanks Frank - glad you liked them!
Great stuff. I will buy you books surely
Great - thanks so much! I think you'll really like them!
Good stuff! Thank you!
Thanks Jim - glad you liked it!
@Neil Bockoven , I've always loved this kind of history. The dinosaurs, the giant mammals that were here.... I love when they find out something new about these animals and discover new ones. I hope to see more videos like these from you.
@@powerliftercarnivorecoachedgr Me too!
it's been a very long time since I learned something new about neanderthals. today I learned many new things. ty.
I'm so glad you watched and learned some new things - thx!
Cal(vin) and Hobbes! Love it!
Yes, that worked out well!
I loved this! But a little too busy to start the book series now. BTW: how many viewers knew of lumpers versus splitters?
Glad you liked the series - thx!
Mr. Bockoven, have you written anything about the relationship of humans and canines?
I personally believe the coevolution theory has a lot going for it, and in a roundabout way the beginnings of the relationship between man and our best friend has been my reason for delving into how the First Artists worked.
Id be interested in any directions you could point toward that would help me learn more about how our early relationship with canines may have come about.
I am one who believes canines may have helped us to become the surviving species.
I find the subject fascinating.
My god, the fangs on that cat skull!
Yes, they could open their jaws at a very large angle!
I have read all of Jean Auel’s Clan of the Cave Bear books and they are really awesome
Would look forward to the next which I hope would include both of Ayla’s children
If you liked the COTCB books, you're going to like Moctu and the Mammoth People and The People Eaters!
Your books sound interesting.
Try one - you'll love them! Cheers!
Darwin wrote 'On the origin of species' not 'On the origin of the species,' big difference.
Agreed - I thought that's what I said - I'll go back and check.
I would like to read your science book
Great - even the two novels each have about 100 annotated references at the back that discuss all the science behind the books! The science book has been appreciated by both young and old alike.
comment for algorithm :)
Do you feel, that 'Neanderthal' equals 'giants' ?
The fossil record shows that on average, Neanderthals were shorter than us. They were more massively built and stronger.
When are you going to explain the origin of the Bantu and other African tribes that have a different gene lineage?
That needs to be a subsequent video - thanks!
Bad Amazon link in the notes. Just sayin'.
I'll get them fixed - thanks for alerting me!
