Also, the EEF did in fact come from Anatolia, and I do feel a level of love and connection, but my last ancestors who lived in Western Asia are very ancient, they moved to Europe long ago, so I feel less of a connection to Anatolia, I still revere it as an ancestral homeland .

He very slightly injects his politics into some of his videos and dismisses/never mentions a recent finding in human anthropology that makes alot of his past and present videos and messaging false. The finding came out around 2017 and rocked this field of study.(not politically correct to talk about) This video actually is directly related to that finding and he is smearing it/greying the 2017 finding while presenting a weak counter point. All while avoiding mentioning it. To the average viewer you won't get what he is actually presenting because like a snake in the grass he refuses to talk about something that would shake his side of politics in his academic circle and by giving voice to what he is actually trying to counter it will cause people to look it up and realize he is fudging facts. Therefore the majority of viewers will just drool and consume what he is saying.

Thanks for the references. I was under the impression that pale skin and light eyes came from neanderthals, but now I know different. Decades ago, before the advent of genetic sequencing, I found a monograph in a university library about blood types and ancient migrations in Europe. The author worked with data from blood typing of donors all over Europe and his conclusions IIRC, are consistent with much of what you present here. Neolithic farmers from the middle east outbred or pushed paleolithic hunter gatherers up into the Alps and west to the Pyrenees. The Basques have a really high (>30%) incidence of Rh negative blood, which is uncommon in the rest of Europe (less so in Switzerland) and almost unknown elsewhere in the world. I recall a later influx of farmers from northwestern Asia settling the lands north of the Alps. I don't remember the rest, but I was impressed by what could be inferred from the incidence of a few genes, and how clever the author was to realize how useful this "free" data could be. I wish I could give you a reference, but IIRC, I read it in the early 1980s so it's at least that old.

They were in northern Europe for at least 200,000 years longer than H.sapiens, and had all that time to acquire and conserve mutations helpful in that climate. The value of pale skin in a cold cloudy climate with limited strong sunlight exposure is shown by the much shorter timescale (8000 years?) in which it took over in most of the population of northern Europe.

Just to be clear, do they have Homo Erectus DNA profiles? Is so, do those profiles show a clear connection to modern human profiles? I've always assumed that they had the profiles and that the profiles showed the connection.

@@Alfred5555 That's a pretty tight distinction to make. Even if modern European-descended people have only a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA that resulted from a small part of the Neanderthal population being integrated into the Cro-Magnon population, I would say that these people are at least partially "descended" from Neanderthal. Even if the entire European-descended population doesn't have a measurable amount of Neanderthal DNA, I'd say that the population as a whole is partially descended from that group. I hope that someone will be able to answer whether all of Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon lines came from Homo Erectus or whether some other species might have played a part. Again, I've just always assumed that all of us came from one or maybe a few lines of Home Erectus. The idea of having another contributor would be interesting. I honestly don't know whether they've been able to collect enough Home Erectus DNA to construct the entire genome. If we have something that isn't part of the Homo Erectus genome, that would be very interesting.

Some of the pieces you show were on display. I was amazed by the quality and lifelike depictions. One in particular was the head of a cane, which depicted a deer or elk jumping, which conformed to the shape of the bone handle. I decided then and there that modern humans did not have much, if anything, on those guys.

I don't think vitamin D was the driver for the evolution for light skin but rather the lack of the environmental pressure of the intense sun no longer playing a huge factor and then sexual selection probably played the bigger role overall. Evolution doesn't always act on positive/beneficial traits, often times aslong as somethings not super detrimental it still passes. Light skin was likely just not detrimental at higher latitudes and either sexual selection or genetic bottlenecking made it more extreme in Europe then in Asia or north America.

09:00 The OCA2 and IRF4 gene also effects skin color. All Mesolithic Europeans, have the light skin variants in these two genes. SNPS rs1804004, rs12913832 in OCA and SNP rs12203592 in IRF4. Due to this, I doubt any Mesolithic Europeans had African-style dark skin. Which is how they are depicted in reconstructions. Africans have the dark skin variant in these genes but Mesolithic Europeans all had the light skin variant. It is true SLC45A2 and SLC24A5 have by far a bigger effect on skin color, but there are a lot of genes involved, and we should not presume ancient Europeans without them had African-style dark skin. Darker than modern Europeans=/=Black. Black

Today Dr John Campbell, in his presentation on 'genetics and covid deaths', documents how Neanderthal genetics clearly has had an effect on the likelihood of death from covid. He also presents the information that Neanderthal genes are basically unknown in Africa. At 2:56, you say that Neanderthals contribute to almost all human populations. Was that just a slip where you left out Africa or, perhaps you know something about genetics that others don't know? I would love to find out.

I'm dark Irish (my partner said I could help out with getting the black vote!) but I do think it's been much exaggerated the preponderance of dark skin in late Pleistocene European humans to make a political point, just because you have a gene doesn't mean it's switched on nor do we have a huge amount of evidence for early Northern European. Vitamin D is an absolute necessity for a healthy life and if our ancestors like mine were in the far north where the sun rarely shines then they will be at a serious disadvantage. You've got to wonder why so many people even in northern Africa have light skin. A good example of this political bias is that Neanderthals are always shown with light skin, whilst similar homo sapiens of a similar time are now shown as having dark skin. To note, I'm a Labour party member and my partner is mixed race. But objectivity over politics, all the time

"A good example of this political bias is that Neanderthals are always shown with light skin, whilst similar homo sapiens of a similar time are now shown as having dark skin." Neanderthals have lived in Europe for half a million years. Homo Sapiens Sapiens were recent migrators from Africa arriving in Europe 40,000 years ago. "You've got to wonder why so many people even in northern Africa have light skin" Same reason there is light skin in South Africa and Australia = recent migration

It can appear that early Europeans are portrayed as brown or black, Not through empirical evidence, but through an ideological push. As with the British “Cheddar Man” whose DNA was sequenced and proclaimed by the British Natural History Museum, as black skinned, Even though the laboratory that carried out the DNA sequencing refuted that there was any evidence of Cheddar Man’s skin tone, either black or white, however in today’s “Diversity and politically correct “ driven academic world, he was reconstructed with black skin in spite of the lack of evidence ?

Nothing that could be identified as black African or North African existed. Our ancestors evolved and developed separately. The main ancestral component of all Europeans from North to South is the Yamnaya aka the Indo Europeans, they originated in West Asia, the Pontic Caspian Steppe. We aren't West Asian though. Haplogroups prove so. Again, African did not exist as what it does today when our ancestors spread out. Hominids left Africa 60-90,000 years ago. Not a single ethnic group, modern culture nor language existed. The African Genome would not develop for THOUSANDS more years. Same with everyone. Lmfao. That's the part people tend to leave out or exaggerate.. "Human Origins are in Africa, we must all be African" that's not how it works. Genetics determine that. Not Land. I'm sure as sht not Native American or even American ethnically at all. The earliest humans were black, dark skinned. Not African. Nor are we.
I've been waiting for this one. I've had so many arguments about how Europe was colonized and how it's people changed from there African and Asian ancestors. It's sad that people still can't accept that we evolved over millions of years from an a single cell organism to monkey like mammals to modern day humans. I think that's a more amazing story than any religion could possibly give us.
