The Fantastic World of Other Human Species

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2022
- Move over House of the Dragon, Rings of Power, and other keywords that will attract viewers, because the world of prehistory is as fascinating and richly populated with sentient races as any in Fantasy. Well, off to play Warhammer 3.
Also, I know it’s Homo neanderthalENSis and Homo FlorESiensis. Re-recording was not an option this time.

When someone asks “What would happen if the other hominids were still alive?” the answer is always: Racism 2
They would've been killed and any remaining population would be restricted to few patches of land , you know like what happened to native American population in America
@@MAYBEMAYNOTBE2 Yeah when Spanish (dark skin Europeans) killed off 80% of the native American population.
Exactly lol. Considering how horrible people are vs. people genetically almost indistinguishable from them (and behaviorally/psychologically identical), I can't imagine any positive outcome for anyone if there were multiple species with ACTUAL behavioral/psychological differences.
A Different Flesh in a nutshell.
Yup, they would have been discriminated against.
Imagine being a 3ft tall human and seeing a giant Komodo dragon
also climate for that tiny body and any animal that is more predatory in the pasific that is extinct today, bruh.
I was 3 feet tall once!
Imagine being 3 feet tall and seeing someone who looks just like you at 6 foot
You were 3ft at one point. We all were lol
@@CaptainMichaelJCaboose like a house cat looking at a lion
Imagine going back in time and giving a Neanderthal an atomic warhead sour candy
RAHGHHHHHRRR
Hrrrmmmph. Tastes like poison berries!
Instant death
it would explode
Assuming you poisoned him, he rips your arm off, before he can taste the sweet part of the candy.
We need to rehabilitate the Neanderthal public perception, especially since it’s evident many of us are actually part Neanderthal ourselves. Despite often being portrayed as brutish and uncaring, analysis of burial sites indicate the Neanderthals actually cared for the old & infirm, which suggests they were actually quite compassionate and willing to help others without the expectation of anything in return. Shoutout Neanderthals, real recognize real.
Not to mention they were stronger, faster, and smarter than us lol. The only advantage we had was language which led to better organized social structures
@@elitilton7015 We were far more adaptive however... they just couldnt change to habitat changes fast enough, often it comes always down to the middle ground, the ones that sit in the middle of everything survive better, the specialists are to rigid.
But they live on within in alot of us still, even if just by a small bit.
@@elitilton7015 They had language from what we know, and were on our level intellectually. However they had significantly larger brains, more muscle mass and far more dense bones. This meant they had much higher energy and nutrient requirements, and needed to eat about twice what we do to survive. They were also less social and tended to keep to their own familial groups, they were unable to form what we call "culture." Now that's not because they were stupid, its just how they evolved cognitively. But our ability to form cultures and coordinate en masse is really the only thing that's kept us alive this long. After all, a lone human is a dead human. And a damn miserable one at that
(Edit) Spelling errors
@@elitilton7015
Who tf told you they were "faster, smarter" and incapable of language?!
You’re right bro they did many things like us, it’s just they lived in small family groups compared to our large groups which is one of the main reasons they had no chance to outlive us, we were using more teamwork and sharing ideas. After that, fighting and fucking between our species led to their extinction/absorption into our population
“Ghost Populations” has me thinking about all the amazing creatures that we’ll never know have existed.
Drives me insane knowing we only know a fraction of what once existed civilisation-wise, extinct fauna-wise, etc..
It would be cool if there were some fantasy book that took these species of humans and set them in a later period for a semi fantasy setting
There's one with a neanderthal world, but it's not great because the author just made the neanderthal world a perfect utopia.
@@juliandacosta6841 Yeah, if I were to make such a story I would more have them on a semi equal level rather than any being too far back or ahead. Makes it more interesting for conflicts, drama, and such
It's a double edged sword cuz science marches on. There could be a new discovery and your human species design or tools become outdated
I feel like neanderthals would be like the orcs from Skyrim if the neanderthals were in a fantasy setting.
@@cheezbiscuit4140 Hence why it’s fantasy. If it was realistic the small hobbit humans wouldn’t get anywhere but with fantasy you can create whatever you want
Homo Floresiensis is simultaneously a textbook, run of the mill case and an unbelievably remarkable case of "island dwarfism".
The fact their entire population was isolated on perhaps only that one island (but at most several nearby islands) shows that general purpose approaches to survival, like we are designed, costs a lot in resources, so they "simply" evolved away everything they didn't need. Smaller body requires less food and water to maintain, they had no large prey to hunt which would only drive them smaller to go after things like seafood which they would have access to but not need strength to overcome.
The brain is also a HUGE drain on resources. If you only have a limited diet and don't have to worry about defending yourselves, best to just cut back on it. However, that's not to say they weren't intelligent or had no need to think. They could have just focused on a more specialized set of skills and tools, like traps for whatever seafood they ate.
I wouldn’t say they lacked any large prey to hunt. The Flores island was home to dwarf elephants the size of a cow. We have a decent amount of carved bones of these elephants in a few scattered caves across the island.
There was also an immense monitor lizard that was the dominant predator of the island.
But the rest of what you said is correct
You have no Evidence for your Claims. However going over the Vastness of the Little People Data, and Evidence clearly shows most didn't live on Tiny Islands, but clearly you are not well versed enough with the overall subject and it's depths. Be Gone Simpleton, do not Diminish this Subject with your Feeble Mind!
Large *prey
Predators hunt prey.

There's has been many sightings of them in Indonesia since even before their remains is discovered, chances are they probably still exist! (hopefully)
There are some videos too but probably most of them if not all are fake
The uncanny valley effect is something that I’ve always thought was a interesting concept because a lot of phobias and common fears do have some relation to problems that our far ancestors had to deal with. So I wonder if our hostile interactions with other human species may have created it?
I get the uncanny valley feeling while looking at chimps. I find them supremely ugly and unsettling.
i heard the uncanny valley is against dead bodies
Humans like to recognize faces, so I think uncanny valley is when our brain gets confused by something that we can recognize but doesn’t look right. But I do like your theory
Could be other barely human looking homonids
@@shinjite06 nice pfp
7:11 I actually did a high school project for biology where we were given different species of hominids to study. I got homo naledi and I found it to be a really interesting species of hominid that sadly not many people talk about. I’m glad that you featured it in your video.
I'm an aspiring writer and I've been developing a science fantasy series for a couple years now and this content is exactly what keeps me going. I think mythical/cosmic fantasy and magic grounded in evolution/nature are crazy underexplored in speculative fiction.
Bro lemme read when u done bro
I can relate with that as I, too, find joy playing around with creative endeavors such as what's mentioned above. What's the status of your project? You have a couple of people interested✌️
I'm interested, dropping a reply so I can be reminding if you make an update!
I'm interested too!!
I love this. I remember when I was a kid and I started searching what kinds of humans had existed, classifying them in a word document with some information about them and pictures. When I found out that Florensiensis existed I went nuts, but it was better when they announced the discovery of Naledi and Denisovans more recently on TV
you should plan a trip to indonesia and go out in the countryside. Lots of little Florensienians scrabbling about, you'd be thrilled.
A Stone Age/Ice Age D&D game would be amazing. Maybe have divine and most arcane magic be incredibly rare with primal magic being common.
for fun, you could go to west papua, where they are being silently murdered by u.s. backed indonesia (world's biggest goldmine, who knew...) 60 years silent genocide 1.8 million dead. amazing cultures, music talent peaks in west papua/timor leste.. but too much darn gold.
anyway, back to video games and youtube eh.
@@atomictraveller my wife is Indonesian so I’m on the other side 😅 sorry buddy
@@Betterthenme that's a real dumb side to be on. it's ok to be indonesian and pro-merdeka. but you're right, most indonesians are pitifully subject to propaganda and not seeing all the fing murder.
@@Betterthenme based

It's kind of beautiful that they live in us, and how much history we all have.
Great to see you back, and what a comeback. Dragon Man was just getting talked about when I took my Evolutionary Biology class.
Really interesting to see that like many animals there was a time where several species of humans coexisted or at least lived alongside one another.
We literally live in a world filled with different human species
@@JRBDWD wut
Different species cannot mate successfully.... the neanderthals etc were therefore not a deferent species, but a different race. Am I right ?
@@SunofYork Some species can indeed reproduce. And no,Neanderthals were a different species
@@JRBDWD All species can reproduce. Both your parents were members of a single species. Homo Sapiens mated and reproduced with Neanderthals, and therefore Neanderthals were the same species as homo sapiens, but a different race that's all.. Modern humans have physiologic differences between races but all can reproduce with each other..... so same species .... The boundary of species is marked by their ability or otherwise to mate with other species... Modern Humans are genus great ape and species homo and race homo sapiens...
Great video. This is somewhat of a crypto-anthropology thing, but I always loved the idea of the “Pygmy/Stork War” myth talked about by Plutarch, and how the Homo Florsiensis remains were found in that cave alongside the bones of that massive Stork. So many pieces of Ancient Greek and Roman art depicted battles between Storks and small humans, it’s fun to fantasize about maybe, somehow, our ancestors knew about Homo Florsiensis and their Stork problems. Plutarch’s pygmies were said to live on the Nile though, not some far off island.
The more likely explanation is probably that throughout history there have been gigantic storks that hunted smaller prey, even if they were human. I just love to think that maybe there are stories that go back THAT far and made it to antiquity.
I mean the oldest surviving tale, the Epic of Gilgamesh beginss with "In those long Ancient Days"
I personally hold to the idea that some form of proto Village/proto cities could possibly be found in the Sahara, since that was still Green a few thousand years before Mesopotamia. And rven older tales could be formed and reinterpreted for new Cultures so that their origins become obscured.
@@ssjjshawn there has been sites found already like that in the Sahara.
@@jackvos8047 i was unaware, need to look into that more then lol
The great pygmy/stork war. The idea cracks me up!
I'm glad you're making videos again. I enjoy your style of explaining things
Love your vids, glad you're back. I always got fascinated by merging prehistory into the realm of myths and fantasy. Most recent I guess are the works of R.R. Martin but you can see the same sentiment in the old Robert Howard stories about Conan and others (though painfully outdated by now). Anyway, can't wait for another video!
Another great video. It's so rare for me to love a youtuber's content as much as this. You're awesome!
One of my favorite channels, so glad to see more uploads :)
This gotta be my favorite prehistoric channel ever. I love every single episode from it.❤
so glad to see you back! another great tbm exhibit
Lovely video! The fantasy comparison was nice in setting the tone too.
Wonderful video to make your return with!
Welcome back. This is an interesting look at past human species relatives. Keep up the good work.
7:13 that looks like the sickest LAN party of all time. Playing Counter Strike 1.6 with the homies in a cave.
The branch of human evolution has many, many twigs that have grown out of it, representing the many human species that became extinct, and we are familiar with only a few as of today. Some say that 99.9% of all life forms that have ever existed have gone extinct or evolved. Everything is in constant change given the time.
glad to see you back! your videos are always interesting
I love quest master's music. Thank you for featuring him. Please 🙏 continue to in your future videos.
This is one hell of a video! Great job.
I recently started listening to Quest Master and other dungeon synth so it is very cool that it showed up here as well. I highly recommend Tales Under The Oak and Glog as other bands in the genre to check out.
Damn these vids are insanely well made, great job dude
He's back!!! Very great to see a new BH vid!
The process of population of the Americas is weird as they come. Dunno if still stands feasible, as I'read it decades ago, but the Onas (y'know the guys Darwin returned after they were kidnapped) are closest to australian aborigins, while mapuche and tehuelche populations seem to be closer to the rest of american populations, except for amazonians who seem to come from Asia. It is not only weird as hell, but also probably lost
This is so thought provoking! I want to learn everything about the history of these people.
You're one of the best creators on this platform.
To the content, channel creator: beautiful humor at 6:51!* One of the best to be appreciated characteristics of any home sapien:) Fine gold example:) Keep up the great work. Your vids are very cool in style and informative.:)
A video on the giant birds of New Zealand would be very interesting
Thank you for this video! It made me have some ideas for an fantasy alternative universe to ours with different civilization made of different species.

You're a Hominoidea (Ape), and apes are Catarrhini (Old world monkeys). Humans are apes and apes are monkeys. Humans are monkeys.
I just came across your channel and I been enjoying it, I was wondering if you can make a video about when the language barrier become prominent or when we as humans beside to make our language for the region we live in. Keep up the great work 👍!
Have you covered the cerutti mastodon site yet? I would love to hear your review of the findings! It suggests hominids in North America as early as 130,000 years ago.
Miniminuteman did a good video about it a couple weeks ago:
ruclips.net/video/5z3DbmOuaFI/видео.html
I'm pretty certain that it was found that it wasn't actually evidence of human arrival in North America but I might be wrong
I've been looking forward to seeing this video for months!
It's been quite a while, glad to see you're still up and running.
I’m curious if instead of crossing Beringia, that one ghost lineage crossed the Pacific, considering it’s not super unheard of for island races and peoples to travel between the pacific islands. Doesn’t explain how they scaled the Andes to reach the Amazon though.
I know its a small detail but adding Wikipedia links for a more casual watcher really compliments the more detailed sources, amazing vid as always!
I knew I was hearing Quest Master!! Great choice, suits the video super well

My favorite theory about brain size not mattering was that the evolutionary bump that gave humans their niche was that they became bipedal, leading to the development of a more complex brain to use these newly freed hands
This channel feels like Sisyphus 55 but like history/science version. Which is a high compliment!
Thanks for the shout out bro, appreciate it!
Cavepunk as a genre needs to be a thing. Monster Hunter kinda fits the bill and a way Ark maybe for games but we rarely see any storytelling set in this late early tool making age the events had to be intense and unique with different Human races all living among each other and interacting and interbreeding probably waring with them.
Only 10,000 bc kids remember cavepunk
The last known "Hobbit" people dwelled in the Philippines, and were only hunted into extinction a mere 300 years ago, according to local accounts, and the discovery of their bones. ...well, sort of. Technically the last account was of a singular remaining specimen (unconfirmed) as it was hunted / chased into the woods after it attempted (and failed) to abduct a small human child (The child out-witted it) but was never found, and assumed dead. (Reportedly was badly wounded during it's escape attempt) This account would conceivably put the extinction event even nearer modern day, but aside from the written accounts, and oral traditions, we have no physical confirmation of that one. OR, if we apply movie logic (No body = not dead) then the primitive Hobbit kind could theoretically still exist unnoticed by modern man in some remote hole in the rocks somewhere.
Where the hell did you get that information from
@@Twiggo_The_Foxxo That's what I want to know.
Ah, yes. The Many Gollums Theory. Our version will be the Morlocks. After the next Not Us species arises from our ashes.

I'm sure many of the prehistoric populations has wizards.
Or at least shamans, which is many ways is about the same thing.
Shamans probably couldn't cast _magic missile_ though. :
@@JohnGardnerAlhadis Probably not.
But I didn't see that mentioned as a requirement.
The fact that many ancient "magicians" are actually the equivalent of priests, priestess, monks and shamans. "Magic" is technically part of some religions.

glad to have you back
Great video as always
Different species interbreeding usually result in sterile offspring.
Genetic research showing that we have Neanderthal DNA and some populations have Denisovan and others Longhi DNA suggests we (& possibly Foreinsis) are subspecies of the human species.
Thoroughly enjoying your videos.
Those ghost populations should have left the Heart of Lorkhan alone.
Questmaster rock man! So good to hear them in a video! Such a perfect soundtrack to this!
Well done. Welcome back. I hope you had a nice summer.
Please don’t forget that hominids probably never really lived in caves. They spent time there, seeked shelter on hunts and used them as religious sites, such as a burial site. There are hints they actually lived in houses and tents relative to the ones we know from the early stoneage. There definitely was a technological evolution on the usage of building materials and techniques used to erect houses. But they had to built their shelters, no one can live in a cave for long
Could you do a video on snails and slugs?
Great video as always, but Quest Master was an awesome recommendation. Thanks!
Subbed. Love your humor. So dry.
In a way, I can appreciate the fact that there's only one of us left. Us Sapiens can barely handle others of our own kind having darker skin or redder hair, imagine if there were different hominid species with seriously distinct traits on top of that?
Even worse than Racism, Scientifically Accurate Racism.
If neanderthals were to live, they'd already be considered people since we can already breed with them
I find it sad that when people talk about their ancestors, they don’t typically don’t include these guys unless they’re talking about evolutionary lines 😭
I needed this , thanks!
Bro I remember watching a vid on this channel several months ago..I think it was something about ancient animals...I'm so glad I found this again
In reference to the multitude human species, I quite liked halos take on the pre flood human empire where, except for the absolutely truly ancient evolutionary ancestors in our family tree, all of the truly intelligent and societally advanced human species existed together and filled their societal niche in the empire, with neanderthalis mostly existing in the worker role with their stockier builds and larger muscle structure, with home sapiens, us, taking advantage of our structurally more complex brains and filling in the strategic and military roles of the society, with everyone being mostly equal to eachother.
It would be neat if we did form a civilization together but by the time anything you’d call an empire formed other species where long dead.
@@TmanRock9 I'm aware of this..only ones who'd be a part of a real life one would've been us, Neanderthals, those little hobbit dudes from the Philippines they found a while back, and maybe homo florensis
I wonder if it’d be possible to bring Neanderthals back from extinction if we were to try to synthesize their genome from our own DNA. Would they be perfect Neanderthals or would they be our own version of what we believe them to be like kinda like Jurassic Park
I have contemplated this and I wonder if they would truly be Neanderthals. Sure, mostly genetically Neanderthal, but not in their culture. What did they pass down by teachings that a genetically resurrected Neanderthal would not obtain? How would our influence change who they become? How would the drastically different world we’ve since created change them?
I've been studying about our for months to years at this point and there are still things to find out! love it.
Happy to hear you again.
You'd LOVE Conan The Barbarian as it touches on early humans somewhat and how the Atlanteans of the series were Cro-Magnon men.
Hey Budget Museum, great work as always! One thing you didn't touch on here but that I'd be interested in, is the idea of Homo Sapiens exterminating other Human Species instead of the others simply dying away do to natural causes. Yuval Harari makes a compelling case that Homo Sapiens went about systematically exterminating competitors and very cleverly ties it back to our belief systems as humans. How many mythologies and religions are predisposed on the idea that we are singular, "made in gods image" and so on. it would certainly demystify human sentience if we were just one of many sentient species habitating earth... I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this if you have any!
man when i first discovered your channel u were at like 120 subs

I wonder if those South Americans who are related to New Guineans come from an old lineage of seafarers as opposed to people who crossed beringia.

It's crazy that the DNA of these ancient hominids consist of up to 20% of West African genetics!

Would it be possible to bring them all back one day by cloning or are their DNA too damaged?

nah. we would've won because we are numba one. neanderthals aren't as marketable as we are
My favorite explanation (or at least contributing factor) to Neanderthals' disappearance is actually specifically due to their body size. They were larger and stronger than our species, and because of that they needed much more food to sustain themselves. So during the winter (and especially once mega fauna began to disappear), they struggled much more than we did from lack of food.
Great vid 👍

Nice to hear some dungeon synth instead of the usual synthwave on YT videos using free music.
the flatscreen TV analogy made me crack up ^^
To add on to the Neanderthals. I read that another reason they were short is because their habitat consisted of mountainous terrain. A shorter body provides a lower center of gravity and helps with balance.
