What you’re calling Neanderthals are/were actually called Nephilim. They’re mentioned in Genesis 6: 1-4 and the full story is told in the book of Enoch. 200 Watchers came down to earth and mated with human (homo sapiens) women. Their children became giants and are still around today in the form of Bigfoot (Sasquatch, Yeti, etc). Dr. Melba Ketchum did their DNA analysis and put it up on her website. It’s exactly what you’d expect: their mitochondrial DNA (the female line) is 100% Homo sapiens (human), while the male line is unknown.

Well said, WF never fails to amaze!

as an indonesian myself i've heard about myth from my ancestor where ancient humans in indonesia used to fight man-eater humanoid creature that pretty similar to us but bigger and stronger. they had fangs and eyes like beast and covered in fur. to this day you can find depiction of their faces in javanese or balinese wooden mask used mostly in their dance ceremony. and that's so similar to neanderthals you're describing in this video. i've heard of javanese mythology from my grandparents and my mom is an art teacher in middle school so they naturally know best about how their ancestor literally living with "neanderthals" that known as other names in javanese language like Buto Cakil or Rakshasha (you can even google that names) edit : having non indonesian foreigner explains neanderthals known as buto cakil or rakshasha in our culture is wild man. firstly i thought they're not exist but people found their fossils.

You didn't mention how modern humans/cro-magnons had one major advantage against neanderthals, and that was our ability to run long distance. Since neanderthals bodies run hotter, they can't run long distance without tiring out. To survive against neanderthals, early modern humans simply outran them. I'd imagine in those days they probably had some kind of early warning method in place like a scouting party or something.

Neanderthal is Bigfoot, do it up, I'm still catching up AJ, go Hecklefish

My favorite episode so far! Going to rewatch it with my hubby tonight.

Please do the Big Foot episode!! ❤ I will never get tired of your voice and story telling abilities. The amount of work that goes into these videos is obvious. Thank you so much AJ. Xx

Wondering where the 'red headed giants' fit in (from another episode).

First off... New nightmare unlocked. The description and artwork of the Neanderthal... terrifying. Second, AJ you are an amazing storyteller. Absolutely masterclass, informative, entertaining and I look forward to every episode.

You know, if they were to come out with a AMC show like Walking Dead, they could make a good show.

It's absolutely true- the best way to keep mice out of your house is not a cat, not a dog, but a rat. mice tend to push their luck. but rats, mice will STEAR CLEAR of rats. rats are very VERY mean to them.

good observation on your part

I'm struggling badly in my life right now. I know you understand depression. Thank you for being a constant right now. You help me more than you know. Thank you. *Update* I wrote that a month ago, and my life is starting to change significantly for the better! Thank you all for the kind comments and likes. Honestly, I'm a veteran with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues. (Alcohol and pills.) I had to get honest with myself and get help. I'm in a 6 month to 1 year program, and though I'm getting help, it's hard unpacking years of mental suppression. If anyone is reading this with similar issues, know you deserve a better life. And beware the Crab-cat. Bless you all.

Hang in there, you are loved.

This episode was so .. different. My goodness. I watched it last night while I was cooking/eating dinner & had to come back to it today. Definitely won an Emmy in my house overnight. The way you put the whole camp fire scenario together shows a true gift because I swear, I thought you were going to say “ we know this because of drawing & paintings “, but no that was you which is amazing. Also, I hope WF knows the power they are holding. Streaming services has ruined the tv watching experience. Great series, little episodes, then the show gets cancelled with cliffhangers. WF has reignited my desire to look forward to watching something & actually enjoying it. The episodes never miss. And the best part is you guys aren’t controlled by some out of touch media corporation machine. Thank you 🤟🏾

This story is so good!!!!! Great job AJ and hecklefish

This was probably one of the BEST episodes for me. Want more like this.

This explains the Big Foot in the fender forests. Hunters are very cautious when hunting in the northwest and Canada.

Hey, a major factor that you completely forgot to mention is dogs. The domestication of wolves into the proto-dog occurred around the same time that humans gained the upper hand on Neaderthals. It is speculated that we are compatible to live, work, and hunt alongside dogs, because our eyes have whites, like they do, from which they can infer a great deal of non-verbal communication, like they do from one another. Apparently the all black structure of the Neanderthal eye made bonding with canines impossible. I don’t recall where the info about their eyes being dramatically different from all the other primates originates, but it’s what I’ve heard or read in the past.

I watch all kinds of weird & interesting stuff on youtube, but this channel is the best by far. And this video is the best yet... but I still have a lot to watch

First video, I watched of your channel. I demand more videos like these. 🗿🔥🔥

This show makes my Friday mornings just a little bit less miserable. Listen to it in the shower and then on my way to the office. By far my favorite episode.

Chickasaw and Choctaw creation stories say we came from the ground (caves). They also have stories of the Lofa (hairy giant of the woods) and Iyaganasha (little people). The Lofa would chase game away and steal women. Your video fits very much in line with some extremely old oral traditions of North American indigenous peoples.

They need to keep it online - traditional media is dying, but between youtube and patreon, they can be as unique, inventive, and creative as they want to be. I do agree about the production company idea. If WF had the resources and time to help foster other shows with great potential and help them build a solid production, they could literally change the game for quality creator-owned/independent streaming content.

Interesting hypothesis and cool story but According to studies it was the other way around. We were more socially organized and not so kind with orhers who could be a competition for resources. And Yes Neanderthals were physically stronger, and intelligent as well, but their small isolated family packs, their tools/weaponry were less complex than what the homo sapiens carried, climate created a lack of resources and the neanderthals had no chance at the critical race for prey and resources. At the end it wasn't all because of confrontations since there were cases of mutual cooperation and interbreeding.. But definitely we contributed to their demise.

I agree too. The violence theory seems a little divisive. Some people really want a “violent lesser being that we need to be afraid of” Not saying that this video is trying to spread that idea. But it’s dangerous territory to walk around in

Mitch334 is absolutely right! I plan my day around the release of this channel's weekly episodes! This one was even better than most! Really fun and I learned a lot too (love that part).
