A History of Britain - The Humans Arrive (1 Million BC - 8000 BC)

DISCLAIMER I initially made this video as part of a fun hobby project without thinking it would get this much attention. I used a bunch of other peoples artwork and music to do it and as such this video is not monetised in any way. If you are the owner of any of the content in this video please get in touch via my email address included in my channel info.
In this first episode we go back to the very beginning of human life in Britain.
Note: The exact identity of the human species found at Happisburgh is a little more up in the air than this video makes it sound. Currently academic consensus looks to be moving towards Homo antecessor as the correct identity, however the stone tools found at Pakefield and Boxgrove are almost certainly from Homo heidelbergensis. This was simplified to Homo heidelbergensis in the video for the sake of brevity. Homo heidelbergensis may also have been ambush predators on top of scavengers and fishers.

    The Australian uptalk is nice, at least to this American's ear. It has a bit of a sing-songy attitude to it. But this guy's uptalking sounds like either he's an imbecile or he's talking to one. I know it's his natural accent, but it's annoying AF.

    This guy has literally worked really hard at gathering research and using it to put together an educational video and on top of that he's clearly doing his absolute best at making it fun and interesting. This is very clearly his passion and that passion comes through in his presentation. So how do his viewers respond? Oh yes, they insult him for the way he speaks and say that they stopped watching soon into the video because of it. See, stuff like this is why we can't have nice things. This awesome guy has earned my sub for sure and I'll be watching more of his videos and to all the people who feel the need to insult how he talks, piss off and make your own educational channel to see how easy it is!

Appreciably better than even some of the good quality professionally made stuff I've seen from PBS and the like. Research is impeccable, the writing is clear and demonstrates a good understanding of how people absorb chunks of information, and the huge number of images you've assembled made the whole thing more vivid than any other documentary I've seen. Keep it up mate.

Your work and research into these videos as well as how you present them is staggering, and I thoroughly enjoy both listening and watching these throughout the day. Whereas I normally just turn on the audio and then tune out with these historical videos I now find myself sitting down completely enraptured by it. This isn't background noise. This is art, and you have done excellent work with your presentation!

The Histocrat did a great job of telling this story by piecing together various sources and overdubbing some intelligent narration. We actually prefer his straightforward intelligent academic approach over dramatic embellishments with distracting music. We've watched the first two videos in his series and I felt compelled to come back to the first one and say "Thanks! Well done sir."

    I agree. I had no problem with the narrator's voice or accent. To be honest, I always prefer a narration with a UK accent (of which there are many) over many narrators with US accents. I'm Australian so it may be that I find them easier on my ear than a North American accent. It's also that many US narrations have a style that isn't appealing to me. This isn't right across the board but, to me, I'd rather this sort of accent and narration style.

    Wonderfully informative documentary. Great job, Thankyou! As an ex-pat Brit who has interacted with people from many different english-speaking,global communities, I found nothing extraordinary or disconcerting in your delivery. For those that did I’d add the following: Just because one culture (California Valley Girl) uses an upward lilt to mean something many in the US think of as uneducated/interminable, that doesn’t mean that all cultures use it for that purpose. Here it is used as more of an emphasis and an indicator of “more to come in following phrases” than a question mark. Don’t let your personal biases (we all have them) from your upbringing, lead you to miss the educational value in content like this, due to your own lack of exposure to other British-speaking communities. Histocrat is, after all, from the original land of us Brits!
