Its me, its my footprints. I just wanted to say hi to them, Sowwy!

I like to imagine what a community needs in whatever area we’re seeing traces. Hunter-gatherers needed water, shelter, and of course game and edible plants/fungi. They needed to know where to find building materials, stone for knapping, where and how it was safe to stash food, and local climate variables. What dangers lay in wait in the form of extreme dry seasons, flash floods, dangerous cold/blizzards, and severe convective storms? They needed to know routes for migrating game animals, when hibernation started and ended, what gathered food was good in what season, and which could be stockpiled, and how. Imo, early religious practices focused developed from mnemonics each generation needed, to pass on knowledge, social mores, and skills. Almost certainly they told stories. It’s sad that those stories are lost to the ages. They left us the memes but not the context. They had a LOT to offer. I have no doubt that the traces we’ve found are just a hint of their culture.

So did they think it was a large size rhea-god footprint? Like a giant bird forest spirit guardian?

Now that’s what I call a proper research review video! Thanks for sharing our work in such an exciting way!

Wait, did he just say mothra? in a kaiju?

Thanks for summarizing some recent scientific finds in this video👍🏻.

6:30 ok, what about the oposite? Since there was no internet back then, they shoul have memorized every single foot patern of the known animals at the time and they probably recognized that those footprint were something different or at least something that they never saw before. Regardless i think one of the most interesting aspects is that they made it on the floor not over rocks, walls or stuff like that. This idea could imply: The drawings are going to be missed unless: a) the area is well known by the group or b)the group or individual were just passing by and didn't make a huge deal of it. It is so interesting. Imagine if is like Neanderthals since they draw symbols a lot.

Friendly reminder that some navajo tribes add the Dilophosaur's footprints in their culture and mithology calling them "the big lizards"

The theropod track in the dried out mud....that is amazing. Simply...if it's real...you have the dried out riverbed from what? 80 million years ago too. Awe-inspiring....

I know what the creationists will use next

I'm so happy you know the truths of life.........

Oh wait, what if it is a Hunting technique? like they marked the footprints of animales for the next group to read the animal migraton pattern or an id for a possible hunt or just a name. This idea is like, they just marked the unkown footprints of animals, that is probably why there aren't many of them. Aka once they know the species it is not draw it again.

. . . they looked there! and were interested, some looked there and they knew others would find fascination and also look there (how could they not), and they send us greetings across the eons. . . maybe we should construct seemingly inscrutable monuments all over the place to attract time traveling. . .

Reaqlly cool to see a video about that here

Yknow I see that mothman on your logo but I don’t see too many cryptid type stuff apart from megalodon stuffs😂 keep up the great work tho

well I would think that anybody around there that saw these giant footprints would equate them to any kind of bird footprint really damn everyone giant bird walking around here somewhere I know I would I wouldn't think it would be a lizard I would say it looks like a giant chicken or giant Turkey or a moa or something like that they think it was huge and with the terror boards having existed I don't know if they were on at the same time or not but they may be evidence of the terror boards were there like bones fossils of the terror birth and then they see large tracts ago damn these were just baby terror birds You know there's bigger ones out there somewhere where they left tracks that were bigger and by marking them out and saying This is where they are don't touch them we don't know we don't want to anger these creatures to come back and kill us all anita saw is that would be my thinking.

I think the study of prehistoric humans tends to lean more toward Anthropology than Archaeology.

There's not really a distinction, Archaeology is a subfield of Anthropology in general, along with cultural, biological, and linguistic anthropology. So really, it's all Anthropology :D

It’s getting more blurry, too, with evidence of technology and culture turning up associated (possibly) with earlier and earlier non- _sapiens_ humans.

Great video great knowledge, I'm so glad this wasn't a creationist or "scientific" creationist video , they would have messed it up or will mess it up eventually.

Well that sort of happenede.

Really 😮

@EDGE Science what if our human ancestors saw dinosaurs as the first gods that walked the earth and their different trackways embedded in the rocks were sacred to the different tribes and where a place to worship them as the first gods

I really doubt they mistook animal tracks for sentient beings. Hunter-gatherers had to know a lot about their environment and game animal populations. I have no doubt that they understood “extinction.” Our ancestors, after all, seem to be the direct cause of local megafauna extinctions. So they were familiar with the idea that “these animals existed once but now they’re gone.” I imagine that they got excited at the giant bird-lizard tracks and hoped to find where they were now. Then sadly recorded that there weren’t any, now. Hunter-gatherer societies are extremely interesting. They’re not primitive. They’re just very focused on the task of obtaining the basics.

Brazilian names with american accent are funny 😂😂😂

Nah man I pay anyone to slide me a Dino print yk

Humans lived with giant Chickens? How shocking! Next!

If there's a human fossil next to Dino.. I will see it as Alien next to Dinosaur

Do you think in a world created by an almighty being that the world before could not be seamlessly blended into the one we know without any of us being any the wiser? If you have read the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in its entirety then the easiest analogy I can give you would be God is the white mice which created the world. I'm an Orthodox Christian, what sounds like a "gotcha" is, every time, merely a lack of understanding. Things of this nature don't operate by our well understood rules for how they should. Even I don't know how it happened but at least I can see how the two can be married into one concept which is not in conflict with itself. "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." In the ancient world, seven meant "many", rather than literally meaning seven. This, to me, means that after an extremely long time, His work was done. One might even say a couple billion years.

In my experience, (1) ignorance or distrust of the real facts involved, often from being sheltered from them, blatantly told false information that would "debunk" the facts, and/or being discouraged from investigating further (2) facing negative backlash from pretty much all friends and family- includingb ones that might act as your support network - if you do question creationism, and possibly being socially excommunicated or at the very least argued with everytime you are with them and often seen as selfish or stupid or easily duped or otherwise insulted (3) creationism being tied to foundational worldviews and identity, to the point that threatening it or disbelieving it basically causes your entire reality to crash down and the idea fills you with existential dread Which is pretty typical social stuff, and there are likely people out there who are ignorant of science who accept what scientists say for similar reasons - bc its taboo not to, and a part of their group identity and view of reality, etc. - it just also happens to be a valid, verifiable worldview consistent with reality so they aren't at risk of having it all torn down suddenly, but they are gullible to pseudo science if they think it's real science

@@friend_trilobot none of these bullets apply to me, I am not saying this to be argumentative or contrary and I know you were not replying to me but I got the notification anyway and want to chime in. I was raised in a secular household, I watched all the "walking with" series, my local culture tends to ridicule Christians and I myself belong to the alt scene, where such criticisms are frequently leveled. I however still found my faith, and not only that but if you read my prior comment I have found a way to live with both facets of my character in harmony. I don't have much point in saying all this, my mere existence I feel is argument enough in these cases.
