To my recollection, we have never had anyone swept up in a storm from one land to another land unless they were in a boat. And even people who swam the channel have to know how to swim and learn how to swim for endurance. But say one person made it, you still need the opposite sex to make another Homo Erectus. So the possibility of several were swept up by a storm to another land and that there were at least a couple of females is kind of far fetched... they most likely got to the Flores Island by boat. It's more possible that they learned how to fish, then made rafts to venture out not far from the shore to catch fish and then soon after that created better boats to get around better and safer just for purpose of catching fish. In that case, I can see how some may have ventured too far into the ocean. You may have had 10s of 1000s of years of Homo Erectus using boats to fish and some got lost and ended on Flores while many more over the years perished sailing into the ocean.

Two things you might like. Pesse Canoe has been tested.The archeologists built a replica and found a canoe sprinter to try it. Conclusion: it's a very small boat, and waves are a problem, but you can use it on calm water. Sorry I lost my proof. It really happened, but I'm afraid the only way to check it, is going to Assen and search libraries and archives. Perhaps there's more online now. The other thing is about Neanderthal man. Again I got no link here, but this one you can check on KZread. There is a KZread movie about different kinds of humans, telling that there is a mistake about Neanderthal people. If you think they were not smart, you're wrong. And why? This man shows the skull of a Neanderthal man, and a human. And he tells, research proofs that the Neanderthal brain is actually bigger than the modern human brain. Then you can make a joke, yes, if you're stupid, you need a bigger brain. What I think is, wait a minute, do they smell better (bigger nose I mean, not Neanderthal No. 9) and need more brain for smell, or another sense? That's just my ideas, meanwhile those guys might have died for other reasons. The funny thing is, Neanderthal DNA is found in lots of humans. Said the archeologist, or how are these guys called. Paleontologist? However, you said Neanderthal people were quite smart, that was proofed correct, and that one you can check on KZread. The oldfashioned idea of losers is not right.

Back in WW2 an Australian commando "who was the last survivor of a raid on a Japanese base somewhere north of New Guinea" escaped by making a multi day journey, paddling a stolen gangplank, across the ocean. I am sure our forebears could have made similar journeys.

I'm Norwegian. For various reasons, Norwegians have some history with boats. Invariably, there will be discussion. Whence? When? How? We should start by considering the distinction between "discovery" and "invention". If people are living near some body of water, it's almost inevitable that they will discover floating devices. Then the clever ones go to work. Anyone who's ever been out on a boat have noticed the push and pull of the wind. Which is why sailing is a thing you discover but rigging a thing you invent. So the question is really one about how long humans -- and other hominids -- have had the ability to discover things that work, then go on to improve them through a process of invention. In my opinion, if you understand enough to make a hunting spear, you understand enough to rig a sail. Hypothetically speaking. Evidence is of course a whole other issue.

In Japan, Izu Sojin (indigenous ancestor before Jomon people) 's sailing activity for collecting obsidians from Kouzujima island (far more than 25km) was confirmed time period since 38,000 BP. Kouzujima obsidians, very good quality, are found in mainland sites and analyzed scientifically to decide the place for those samples. Specific those obsidians had been exchanged vastly at that era.

Stefan is the kind of chilled out history geek I dream to be one day.

Stone tools dating back 1 mio. years have been found on the island of Flores, which was an island throughout the entire ice age, so the ability to cross bodies of water was definately present back then. Remember to take into account that the sea level was much lower, which would make a crossing from present day Java (which was landlocked with south east Asia) to Bali, Lombok, Flores and Timor possible, without loosing sight of land ( at least for a disturbingly long time) GIven that islands such as Sulawesi and New Guinea has had very little archeology done compared to many other places in the world, it is entirely possible that a single new find can shake our understanding of this distant past entirely. Consider the denisovan link, which was entirely unknown a few years ago, and now it explaines much of the migration routes of the first australians and solomon islanders- perhaps they followed already established routes?

that's why i laways find it odd why sci-fi shows will sometimes have ships or weapons that are decades or centuries old that still woork great against enemies with "modern" weapons. Tech movies faster and faster at a near exponential rate. a rifle from 1800 wasnt that much worse than a 1900 rifle but a 1900 rifle doesnt compete against a 2000's rifle. This is even more apparent with larger/more complicated tools like ships, where without regular upgrades a ship becomes outdated in a few decades. Also, there are some theories that humans wouldnt even need a super complicated boat, even just a raft might work. Some animals have been transported hundreds of miles on "rafts" of tangled trees after major storms and wind up being blown to islands. A few years ago after one of the regular hurricanes in the Caribbean some iguanas were blown to an island hundreds of miles away where there were no large reptiles, including iguanas. Basically storm hits > humans grab onto floating trees to avoid drowning > human floats to island and settles down. S it's at least possible, if unlikely, that humans could sail a fair distance with very primitive tools using a simple raft.

Also, one thing I was wondering is how important sailing was to some of these groups. Because some of the earliest designs for boats do seem fairly complex. So do you think sailing would have been common enough for these tribes that it was passed down through the generations? And is anything known about how they navigated? Or did they legitimately just float around like a bunch of turds in the swimming baths.

There were elephants on Flores Island. They're believed to have swam there. My theory: Homo erectus got to the island by riding on the backs of swimming elephants. :)

The idea homo floresiensis was just swept away in a tropical storm doesn't make any sense: Hurricanes don't exactly just transport large numbers of people from inland to islands.

@@Jossandoval I should note that rodents are more resilient than humans and can more easily cling atop of typical debri, making them more likely to get swept long distances over the ocean and survive. Additionally rodents can start a whole new population from a single pregnant rat or one rat of either gender, whereas hominids would need massively more individuals to form a viable population. Also rodents are just much more likely to get swept out to sea than hominids in the first place for many reasons (like size and intelligence). So while rats can get involuntarily swept to another landmass and form a colony pretty easily such a thing would be almost inconceivable for any hominids which didn't utilize boats.

I do like the boat hypothesis more since even in the case of storms is far more believable that ancient humans survived with something that could float that with their swimming skills. But the evidence is scarce, so I was playing devil's advocate. And, to continue in that role, I will note as well that even if I don't know the distance of Flores Island and Terra Firma at the time of H. floresiensis arrival, it was probably several orders of magnitudes less than the distance between Africa and South America forty millions of years ago.

They might not have been as smart. They were also more adapted to a colder climate so as the ice age ended, the large animals they preyed on became fewer and fewer. A minority integrated with homo sapiens. The others didn't. This took many thousands of years to happen though. Just slowly but surely humans pushed them into worse and worse areas until they probably found it hard to gather enough resources.

Homo sapiens needed 3000 or so calories a day neanderthals needed 10,000.

Your videos are really well done. Interesting and entertaining. Well done.

I like your style of presenting. Good job👍👍

I like your style, subbed! Keep up the good work!

I'm so glad I found your channel! This video was 5 years ago, so I've a lot of catching up to do. I've watched your more recent videos and I love them. I remember hearing about "Lucy" many years ago, but only bits and pieces of paleoarchaeology since. Fortunately, you do not sensationalize and I feel I can trust your assessments. Bravissimo!!

So glad you were included in this project. Another great history youtuber to subscribe to! Great video!!
