It might sound a little cold to say, but it's probably a good thing that the other hominids went extinct. Imagine a separate species of humanoid surviving well into the Agricultural Age, perhaps even past the Bronze Age. A brief glimpse at human history shows how many groups of people would do horrific things to their fellow humans just because they were labeled as "the other". Consider how they would have treated a group whose humanity was a little more ambiguous.

I've always been so fascinated with learning more and more about are prehistoric ancestors since I was a small kid of 7 or 8, when my mom bought me some Time Life books on both our evolution as well as dinosaurs, you know those old large hardback books from the 60s and 70s? Now I am so grateful for the internet, especially sites and KZread channels devoted to such subjects. One of my favorite channels is Gutsick Gibbon, who's real name is Erika, who is actually a PhD student in Biological Anthropology, and has a Masters of Research degree in Primate Biology, Behavior and Conservation with a BSA in Pre-Professional Animal Science and minors in Anthropology and in Biology. And she describes things in a more simple way, so even if you don't understand all the scientific talk normally, you likely will have no trouble understanding her. She also has a way about her that makes her fun to watch and listen to. She also gets into debunking Young Earth Creationism and Flat Earthers, from time to time! I frankly think with some recent discoveries about our ancient ancestors or more importantly, finding that our primate ancestors may not have started out in Africa, well our very early ones that is, that maybe started evolving outside of Africa, but went back, if the primates really began in Africa that is, it's possible some didn't, meaning they may have started out just outside of Africa, then went to Africa and continued to evolved or they went out of Africa and started changing then, but then went back to finish, so to speak! There is so much new info coming out, we may get a big surprise someday. I also thing one day it will be found that there was a lot more human non modern human related homosapians then just the Neanderthals and Denisovans, meaning people who were as advanced physically like them and us at the time! I know we used to think that many of the more ape like looking ones were long since extinct by the time we and the Neanderthals popped up, but then we found proof that wasn't the case. There were probably a lot of slightly different versions of most of those we know of around at the same time as the ones we know. Like the Australopithecus line, it turns out there a lot more of them that were around, then the few we thought back when I was a kid, back when those books I mentioned were written! They now say there were something like 7 or 8 different species, but with other similar ones branching out of that even! I do hope I live long enough for us to discover most if not all, and I get to hear about it too that is, lol!

What oftens get attributed to seafaring could also be the fact that land bridges existed at the time, making it possible to cross to what are now islands.

There's was 2 interbreeding events that changed the Neanderthals forever one involved Sapiens (modern humans) Mitacondrial DNA spreading through the population and another where our Y chromosome spread through. Macropods (kangaroo and family) also use bipedal movement, they hop instead of walk to move around at speeds.

GENESIS 1:1

The fact there was lots of interbreeding unfortunately doesn't necessarily entail we were on good terms with them. It's generally thought we fought each other a lot and sometimes we were nice to each other too. But a lot of interbreeding likely was rape from raiding, capturing or opportunistic finds. I still reckon we did likely fight a lot and interact nicely but I'd imagine a lot of the interbreeding didn't occur during those non-aggressive cultural exchange get-togethers. There likely wouldn't have been any shame over it back then, it was merely an ordeal, an assault and if a female survived then she just survived, she had offspring and said offspring got raised by her and her group.

Yep, sadly an all too common aspect of human competition and expansion is the use of sexual violence against conquered women. We see again and again in genetics where Y-DNA from invading/migrating men often replaces that of local men while the mt-DNA of local women tends to continue. And we know from modern history that this is all too often the result of violence rather than willing partnerships.

I think it's interesting to note that right after (relatively speaking of course) we started interbreeding with these other human species is right around when we started becoming who we are today "our cultural and societal awakening"! Just to think that we may have inadvertently made ourselves a super species by hybridizing and it's even possible we get some of the things we think of as human from them, like art and religion! Either I believe it's pretty cool to know that they never truly died out, but live on today through us and that we may be a different people without them!

Reminds me of William Golding’s sad and haunting novel “The Inheritors” - the fear, wonder and incomprehension of a small band of Neanderthals watching the advance of technologically superior Homo sapiens into their territory. The twist in the tail is that it turns out that the “new people” were even more afraid of them.

ChatGPT: The depictions you mentioned are often influenced by historical and cultural biases rather than accurate representations of early humans. Unfortunately, Eurocentric views have often dominated historical and artistic portrayals of humans and human evolution. These depictions don’t accurately reflect the genetic diversity and physical characteristics of early humans who originated in Africa.

Big fan of the channel. While not a scientist but a lawyer, I am very interested in this topic. I am always amazed how Anthropologists can somehow ascertain things such as percentage of body hair and population densities from such a small amount of recovered material. Color me a skeptic. While I would not include the Naledi (sp?), I consider most of the "species" discussed to be as human as you and I. The ability not to fear and to control fire is a characteristic no animal has. It is only humans who can do this feat. Scientist seek to divide people into dna or morphological (spell checked that one) categories for whatever reason but I would wager you could teach everyone of them to drive a car. I also always enjoy hearing the theory that we became so smart because we ate cooked meat. While I am not so sure about this premise, it is always fun to note how the majority of the scientific community readily accepts this glaring exception to the theory of evolution. Thanks for the videos.

I love the new camera Simon!!

Granted they interbred with us. So, we’re not entirely the original Homo sapiens.

well we are, we just have neanderthal and denisovan admixture. We are still the "original" homo sapiens.

What about the Homo Longi, or "Dragon Man?"

I think I read a recent article suggesting that Homo longi might actually be the same species as the Denisovans. Or, in other words, that Denisovans are members of the Homo longi species.

Yeah in the 70s i was taught fire use was only thousands of years old. While erectus is proven to use fire they cant be the first as they are already shaped by fire use so it was clearly used leading up to that point.

I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but h. neledi may also have been making art, in that same cave. Scratches in the rock walls in a hatch pattern that has been seen in h. neanderthalis and early h. sapiens.

Ha! Erectus

In regards to extinction, especially with humans it helps to remember extinction doesn't need mean killed off. It only means something doesn't exist anymore.

Well researched and presented

I find it interesting that a species has been fairly recently dissappeared from KZread offerings. Charming things too.

From what I've read Neanderthals didn't appear to use ballistic weapons other than a close thrown spear. Against bow and arrows they wouldn't have a chance especially if the arrowheads were poisonous.

I think you entirely missed what was said in the video. Neanderthals and Sapiens species lived together and interbred over hundreds of years until they were homogenised. It wasn't some Battle Royale type scenario :D

Educational videos like this really assist in debunking religious theories related to human evolution.

This is interesting. Thank you

Why do you wonder why in the few areas where humans are rare, there isn’t at least one of these species still in existence.

Please do a video on the first human hybrid, that would be fascinating

The one mentioned in this video as being the first known first generation hybrid, or just the first hybrid of any human species? The former doesn't have enough information yet for a full video, and I don't think the latter is definitively known

saying "Homo Erectus" as much as you did this episode without laughing "Uranus" off must he been quite difficult lol

It's very impressive that the 3 species separated long long time ago and later reunited. Technically they survived until now days as hybrids.

well narrated just brilliant

Is it possible that the Norse oral tradition might have kept alive stories of contact with Neanderthals, interpreted as Dwarves over the eons? As generations passed, what might have originally fact based stories evolved into legends and myth.

Unlikely, but still not so implausible as to be discounted. After all, we got Noah's flood from the flooding of the Persian Gulf some 12k years ago, and some pretty wacky tales that Australian Aborigines tell at least somewhat resembling creatures gone for 40k+ years.

Simon managed to pronounce 2 hominids names correctly. Amazing!

I'm pretty sure I saw something that debunked the homonaledi as a bunch of bones that were moves to that location at a later date. The lead researcher who published the finding was largely critiqued for confirmation bias, particularly in asserting markinga in the cave were also ancient. But upon review The cave markings were modern graffiti. That lead researcher later refused to acknowledge that such could be the case. A lot of the bones found also werent even primate. Chicken and dog bones were found and misindentified as primate bones

just a little tidbit, you forgot about kangaroos, bipedal mammal. also, they are the only marsupial bipedal.

The difference in intelligence is what gave us are curious nature. The one thing that saved us from extinction. So we got lucky as it was just good timing between extinction events that we were able to just spread out. Hopefully we won't need luck next time. The only reason I believe this is that I never even heard of a species being bred out or whatever that means. But I know sometime big rock fall from sky go BOOM.

People just don’t want to admit the sad truth about our species that would explain this “disappearance” of the other hominids who shared this world with us. Our species survived because we are a murderous, xenophobic, group incapable of sharing with those we see as different from us. 😢

What is also interesting to know about the Neanderthals is that they seemed to have been more aggressive and less social than modern humans, making it considerably harder for them to pass down new skills and innovations, even if they were smarter and stronger than Homo sapiens, which presumably made their long term survival a lot harder too
