    I met an American Indian guy in Milwaukee who said he was half Athabaskan and half Cree and he looked like a neanderthal I kid you not. He had a super prominent brow ridge and we joked about him looking like a cave man. He said it was the Athabascan in him.

    There was word for decades that nomads in the Gobi Desert were trading stuff with Neanderthals in that region. The Neanderthals would only come down from rocky hills only after the nomads had retreated very significant distances. I want to say a Chinese University had filmed the Neanderthal coming down the hills to investigate the gifts in the late 1970's. I watched the footage on Leonard Nimoy's, In Search Of... I want to say.

    YES !! It was in search of and iv'e seen the episode. Been looking for it for years but recently found out "they" eliminated that particular episode. Now we know why, my dad's st wife was a Russian/American woman who's uncle was in the military in Russia and told her family member before he passed on that he was one of the few officers who had shot a charging (wild man) from a cave straight at the men. The soldiers were told to not mention what had happened,we'd have to assume the wild man was most likely a neanderthal. It wouldn't surprise me if neanderthal lived into the 20th century as there are millions and millions of wild forested areas throughout the world.Best wishes and happy holidays.

    This was kind of the plot of Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead, which became the movie The 13th Warrior. The creatures the Vikings were fighting were Neanderthals. The movie doesn't say this of course, but it is explained in the novel, which is supposed to be the basis of the Beowulf story. It's a very good good and worth a read. Crichton took Ahmed ibn Fadlan's real life journal of his Viking visits and added in all the Beowulf stuff.

These stories changed a bit with time as other hominids disappeared, and here we are. I still find the stories very compelling though.

Then he blames this presumed lack of knowledge on "academic fraud in the late 20th and early 21st century." Which is now. This is the currently the early 21st century. And there are no sources in the description, so i can't even check what he's drawing his conclusions from. Maybe the folklore stuff is all accurate and well researched, but i would have no way of knowing that.

    Pretty good stuff man. I had always thought that maybe the old tales from Native Americans and Europeans of the past talking about hairy mountain men and ogres and such might have been possible Neanderthals that just didn't die out with the rest. I mean just because we stopped finding fossils doesn't exactly mean that a species has died out completely. Fossilization is a tough thing. The ground and atmosphere isn't always right for it. So it's possible that some small groups may have lived on in certain areas but left no remains.

    There is a lot of wilderness out there. If there was a hominid that decided to hide from us and had a much better understanding of nature currently I believe they could still be there. Hide their dead or consume them. There is evidence Neanderthal and early hominids practiced cannibalism frequently it seems. Live in small family group which Neanderthal did. The story at 15:00 sounds much like what has been found about our relationship with Neanderthal in Europe.

    that is very true, finding fossils does not mean extinction. Look at the coelacanth, this ancient fish was once thought extinct till a fisherman actually caught a live one, and now we know it as a living fossil, and hey, there are still lots of remote areas that are hard to access even by todays standards. For the Neanderthals who survived the ice age and had adapted to the icy conditions and might find it difficult to adapt back to a more warmer climate, it makes sense to possibly travel to more northern climes and even high into mountains, which at first will be rough as air will become scarce, BUT, they will adapt, look at the Sherpas of Nepal and Tibet. They live high up in the Himalayas and suffer no ill effects due to the higher than average hemoglobin count in their blood due to the adaptations needed to breath in a thinner atmosphere and extract every last ounce of available oxygen, this same adaptation could happen to those more alpine tribes of neanderthals, homo erectus and possibly other premordial humans that took a treacherous trek up the mountains to find favorable climates as they prefer a colder climates due to ice age adaptations. Not seeing them and extinction does not mean the same thing, it just means they had been very good at hiding in places where people prefer not to populate due to extreme hazards and the only people who do actually see them would be the indigenous tribes that had evolved to live in these harsh climates and environments. Homo Sapien Sapien probably had an easier time adapting to a warmer climate due to being a more highly adaptable and thus highly successful species of human that can thrive in more numerous climates and environments where as Homo Sapian Nealderthalis might have become more specialized to colder climates over time, thus were only capable of adapting in one direction, and that would be adapting forwards, but not be able to go back when the climate suddenly does a complete 180 and suddenly, it's back to what was considered normal temperatures before the ice age hit and thus forced a mass migration, many dying along the way to more opportunistic cro magnon man who saw them as competition for resources and probably didn't like them encroaching on their territory as they migrated through, along with other environmental hazards like melting glaciers giving way to flash floods of freezing water. Or if they are actually on the glacier, dying to cracks and crevices opening up during the great thaw and swallowing up hapless neanderthals who got caught in the wrong spot at the wrong time as one opened up caused by the thawing ice. Not to mention dying to the many other hazards, including predation by megafauna predators like Smilodon and other saber toothed cats, dire wolves and other extinct dog species that might have lived at the time as well as anything else that might have preyed on humans during the ice age. So I whole heartedly agree with this sentiment, we hadn't really been able to find them because we aren't looking in the right places, and many weren't even looking for live specimens, they were looking for fossils due to preconceived assumptions of extinction. Much like how we had preconceived assumptions of extinction with the coelacanths till one was actually caught, alive and well.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the many legends recounted on this channel, but for once I must comment since neanderthals are something of a passion of mine. While yes it is true that there have been plenty of debate over what exactly neanderthals are, the debate is if they should be considered a subspecies of Homo sapiens or their own separate species. The reason for the debate is simple: nature is fluid and species is just a term we have made up to classify and order it. By certain definitions neanderthals are just a different population of Sapiens, by others they are a closely related species. We do carry neanderthal DNA, there has been a number of crossbreeding events in our history, the question is how many. And I'm sorry, but to be frank the Neanderthal Predation Hypotheses is wonderful inspiration for horrific monsters for prehistoric fantasy (speaking as a meddeling writer), nothing more. And finally, I must defend our distant ancestors when calling their tools primitive and simplifying them as big game hunters. Their tools were made using incredibly advanced flint knapping which people struggle with today to recreate, they made beautiful balanced spears and throwing weapons, seem to have had art and possibly spirituality. They hunted and gathered from a vast range of habitats and to simplify them to brutish monsters and boogeymen just feels... wrong. I want to be clear that I love this channel and I hope you keep up with the wonderful content, just had to raise a flint tipped spear in the defence of the Neanderthals!

    Neanderthals also never really made it much further east than about the Caucuses and Caspian sea, in terms of species of pre-modern humans they just didn't have much of a range across the continent with some extant groups that made it west to the British isles and as far east as the Atali Mountains Denisovans however, there was quite a large range all through Asia, the Sub-continent, Arabian regions and all the way down to Australia. So they got around quite a lot which made them very well traveled. There has been some tool use in California which has been done on a Mastodon dating back 130,000 years- but its not been classified exactly 'who' out of the pre-modern humans did that and nor has there been much in the way of determining exactly if it was Denisovans or something like a Homo Erectus kind of fella. In terms of modern homo sapiens into north America, that's fairly well established fact about 30,000 years ago over a series of migrations across the Bering region, by 20,000 years they'd made it to central America and 12000 years ago they made it to south America. Which is a really short amount of time considering Australia had modern humans on it 60,000 years ago by that stage, so the Americas were one of the last large landmasses on earth to be settled apart from Oceania islands and New Zealand. At some point I'd like to think if there was pre-modern humans in the north Americas they'll find some fossil records of them past the evidence of tool use, but that part of human history in the 100,000 year age bracket is really hard to come up with much unfortunately and seems to be just pure chance much evidence of them about.

    @@johns4469 Its not a 'narrative' story time, I like story times too. But this is just factual evidence that's been collected from people out there looking at the pre-modern humans and what they could find. Where it differs from the 'old narrative' of people is that pre-modern humans and other species of humans were not just complete morons bumbling around the bush clubbing things over the head and being savages in every sense of the word. They had languages, they had cultures, burial rites, constructed tools, had art, knew how to navigate and looked after each other when they got injured or sick. As an Australian who's had quite a few Aboriginal friends over the years, they used to be lumped into that 'narrative' so to speak as well. They were literally considered 'animals' in the countryside with none of the things we associate with human culture, by people who were ignorant and spouted 'narratives' in order to propagate a story against them. So when people start shitting on the ancient humans, you have to worry about the prejudice being maintained against the evidence that they were 'savages in the bush' just doing savage things. Sure they didn't have windows 10, smartphones and shit talked on the internet, but they probably knew some stuff about the country they lived in more than you do.

    I always laugh when people think Native American's or First Nations are and were a bunch of peaceful hippies. Like my dad said: "we were just as fek'd up as everybody else, but more primitive." I think there were at one time small pockets of earlier hominid but they are gone by now. But then there is all the weird metaphysical stuff around Bigfoot and I just can't marry the two possibilities in my head. Its either metaphysical or ancient hominid. I don't see how it can be both, but who knows.

    Basically, all the Indian legends are just about them killing innocent Hairy Hearts. Some of the Hairy Hearts had even made friends with the Natives, and even married their women. That didn't stop the Natives from murdering them though. This is just like reading the accounts of the conquistadors or the Colonials. Except here, the Natives are the conquerors.

They were however, living in the Western Desert - the most remote and unpopulated place on Earth apart from Antarctica - they are in high demand by scientists for there astonishing tracking skills when looking for rare and elusive species to this day. They are modern humans of course but were very much stone age hunter gatherers.

    Fascinating topic. I actually had a similar idea about bigfoot before hearing about this, that the bigfoot species could actually be a surviving population of an early human species. Considering bigfoot is usually decribed more hairy and ape-like (although some descriptions also describe bigfoots more as a human-like tribe), they might be an earlier hominid species than the beings described here, so it is also possible that there might be more than one surviving early hominid species. They could have entered the north american continent the same way homo sapiens did, by migrating over the Bering strait when it was dry land. If they are still alive today, they are probably very scared of modern humans and that is why they are hiding in the most remote forest. But there is also a more tragic possibility, that they went extinct recently (a few centuries ago) or only very few survivors are left. Maybe they were common in pre-columbian times but later their population declined. A possiblity is that they might have been infected with diseases the first european explorers and settlers brought with them, as these diseases killed a lot of native americans as well because their immune system wasn't adapted to it, so something similar might have happened to early hominid/neanderthal populations as well.
