Well giving that it has wing membranes and the way it moves it seems to me to be more bat like than primate a carnivorous hunter that spends most of its time in a cave and given the size would probably means not much flying and more ground movement thus the increased speed aversion to light bats being nocturnal and light instinctively means leave for home or danger predators bigger than you are appearing plus living in a cave only coming out at night to hunt adds fear of the unknown and the structure of the hands and jaw would also indicate a bat like creature that rose to the dominate species in its cave being the largest predator in the cave to start with can help with that plus with small rodents stumbling their way in from time to time could have led to increased growth if larger animals fell through holes at the surface which might be how it leaves the cave by climbing up and out. just a theory.

The earliest reliable data says we had the atlatl for anywhere between 21 and 17 thousand years. 10 to 30 yards doesn't sound like much now but attacking from 30 ft out (10 yards) is insane, no other species can do that.

It can be literally anything too, it doesn't have to be a book, literally ANYTHING the child shows interest in will suffice. I grew up on a farm and as many young farm kids are I was obsessed with the equipment. So my dad would read the little blurbs on the back of my Ertl farm equipment trading cards and also sales brochures for farm equipment with me before my bedtime when I was really little. That's all it took to kick off an interest in reading because the logic in my tiny mind went a little like this; I thought the equipment was cool, I wanted to know more about it, I learned more about it from the stuff my dad read with me, so if I learned to read I could learn more about these cool things on my own. So I started following along, started associating the symbols on the page with the sounds coming out of my dad's mouth, slowly started reading with and to my dad, and before you know it I'm having my sister bring me home books from the school library and I'm reading copies of Goosebumps and Box Car Kids in preschool.

I can get behind hating terrible parents ever since I was in a specific type of hospital due to a misdiagnosis and let me tell you nothing gets your blood boiling like hearing a "mother" scream at her son through the phone loud enough to hear from outside the room on how he ruined her life and how it's his fault that he's in there

That piece of trash used the way he was raised as an excuse to be a terrible human being when he was even in our lives but I just can't be so petty even if I wanna be, I just can't make any logical sense of it nor does even the concept make me feel any good so obviously continuing the cycle will only prolong my suffering as well. It can be hard to find another way when that's how you were raised and most probably tend to default toward rausing their own kids as they were but it's going to be so worth it and honestly the best way to get back at bad parents imo, don't let pain and bitterness control you, instead become a better person to show them how THEY failed you and how they don't get to control your future. Good luck man, I know you can do it

Not sure on this but Some part of ur phobia's and Trauma is passed on genetically to ur next generation. A mental illness can become a genetic one if it has a precedence in the family and I don't treat Trauma and phobia as mental illnesses but just gave a example of something intangible and within ur mind as a product of environment can become something genetic. My mom has fear of driving a automobile(doesn't mean she can't but avoids subconsciously) and relies on public transport and Cabs due to a couple of accidents she saw during that time. Which also affected me to certain degree since I end up finding excuses to not drive unless it's absolutely necessary and prefer to rely on public transport or a walk if the place is closeby.

@@ak-ub1ym I do think there is some precedent to generational trauma although one can't disregard nurture as well since one's parent being afraid of something would make a small child see that as dangerous since they're the big, strong adult that's supposed to protect them. Now... Prey animals defaulting to bite first and ask questions later while predatory animals tend to have a moment of confusion is probably due to where they naturally stand on the food chain and the fact that a prey animal being more prone to violent outbursts could injure or scare away a predator does encourage a possibly genetic disposition to readily biting, though idk with how fast tech evolves how strongly that affects humans since so much changes and doesn't remain a constant for us to develop much of a reflex response to, but it's still interesting to note. This from someone with one parent with serious anxiety and one, parent only by genetics and legal status, who was prone to violence because he was raised by people prone to violence, though alcohol was involved in at least one case so debatable how naturally aggressive they'd be otherwise with that lowering inhibitions. Idk how to tell the exact line between nature and nurture though, all ik for certain is the anxiety issues got passed down but could also be coincidence as that parent wasn't, to my knowledge, affected by negative stimuli growing up but I was so it probably could be inherited or could be learned in my case. Brains are weird meat machines though either way

And I do agree with ur take since environment does create the precedence with any organism grows up in. But to a certain degree some part of how we see our environment is also passed down to future generations via genetics. As a whole (in america especially) so please don't take this the wrong way but in america we see any cultural / ideas / get so easily commoditized as a product which came out as a product of industrials during WW1 & 2 which progressed the west technologically but not spiritually so the environment built is a commoditized one which is reinforced generationally with all its good & bad aspects , I believe that the way the older generations who lived during that time influenced the ppl so much even the foreigners who settle down in States after marrying one of their own & down a generation or two become more western in connection compared to motherland of the family so this happens both genetically and environmentally.

I can't believe that I literally just took an anthropology class this Spring on human origins, so the fact this video came out during finals week is quite hilarious. I definitely agree with the posibility of it being a primate, as it seems to have a similar tooth pattern (2 incisors 1 canine and it seems like 2 premolars and 2 regular molars). They also seem to have a posterior sagittal crest, which is indicative of a stronger tempora fossa (the muscle that basically controls the jaw, the larger the muscle the more surface it needs to attach to, hence the crest). The skull shape makes me wonder if maybe it was a relative of Paranthropus Robustus instead of H. Habilis, but honestly it really could be either. This was likely also a male, due to the canine size and the crest size. But overall it's build and cranial structure is definitely that of a hominid!

I love your content, not only because of the breakdown of the science involved, but also your passion for it. Based on your response to an alcoholic yelling at your sub-adult, I kinda wish you'd been my Dad growing up.

I'll be honest, my man. I love your content. I love the breakdowns of the movies. I love the humour. I love the science. But by a country mile my favourite thing about this video (and the ruins, as it happens) are when you absolutely cannot stand a character. It's truly glorious

"About as useful as a knitted condom." That's an amazing insult.

Sometimes listening to Roanoke trying to bypass KZread demonetization sounds like an even more depressing version of NewSpeak from 1984. It also got me wondering during the recommending of the child literacy thing at the beginning if he was censoring the word "children" because frankly, with KZread bots, who knows how to be safe anymore!

It's simultaneously hilarious and depressing.

Fun fact, some mother-daughter pairs can look like sisters. My mom and i were once asked if we were sisters at some point

Listening to him bash the mother the entire video had me laughing so much.

This channel combines coverage of the plots of gnarly creature flicks with in-depth dives into the biology behind their monsters (from a real scientist) all the while carrying a comedic and scholarly tone that is not only funny but greatly informative as well. I can laugh and learn here - love what you're doing here, man. Keep it up! I've been subbed on my main account for a few months now, but I'm doing it on this one too shhh

Roanoke is one of the few "fictional biology" youtubers that seems like he enjoys the things he talks about, whether ironically or not... a lot of the others seem to have the attitude of "this building sized radioactive lizard monster that breathes fire wasn't designed with its cellular respiratory system fully planned out, and I don't want to figure out a way it could potentially overcome the weight it would need to hold up, so therefore it's horrible..." meanwhile Roanoke pulls out relatively obscure biology variations to explain why the alien has glowing green blood.

“If it takes out the mum, at least Lizzie has the good parent left.” That got a genuine loud laugh outta me, damn that’s good

Yeah, I wish I could say that I didn't know people like this woman. One of them is a man, to be fair, but I can think of three women that I wouldn't trust in any kind of stressful situation.

to add to the humans being cryptids thing, we are also hairless, making us look super diseased and sick but also still able to do everything else mentioned. Id bet the animals tell stories about "what if humans, but not diseased, how horrifying would that be?"

And then a chimpanzee enters the room and everyone gets tfo.

If it's a troll, thus susceptible to burn in sunlight, the membrane between its appendages might be a cloak to use when it hunts for too long and sunrise catches it outside. Sure it still damages the hands and legs, but the critical parts of the body are protected for a while. Trolls also have fast regeneration in legends if I recall correctly, thus an easy sacrifice to make.

"Build Society, Get good" I laughed so hard.

As a Southern native, every time Roanoke describes a messed up story from growing up in the area with questionable parental units I just smile. Growing up in Georgia, the question parental joking extended to marsh-coast line. So in addition to the parental threats of being left as a snack to the monsters near pitch black roads in forested areas, I also got to experience being the joys of my parents and family treating to "feed me to the alligators" (if we were nearer the swamps and marshes) or the sharks (if we were nearer the coast). Georgia! It's a nightmare, which I deeply love.

You know that feeling when you use a Q-tip in your ears and it just feels soooooo freaking good despite doctors saying it is bad. Roanoke's videos are like that...

“As useful as a knitted condom” My favorite simile of yours lately 😂👍🏼

I dont hear my dreams. As I'm falling asleep, I can actually sense my hearing turn off. I first noticed it as a young kid. In my mid 30s now, it still happens regularly

“Watching them menacingly, just standing there” love it lol

Roanoke's pride for the human race will forever make me laugh and smile happily.

14:22 That's such an interesting perspective that I've never truly thought about. The idea that humans truly are cyptid creatures of eldritch horror to most animals. Exactly as you put it is how we often describe unknowable creatures from myth and folklore. That's so cool to think about, and it really makes perfect sense why animals react so violently or fearfully to us. It also explains why they do so even when we are trying to help them, like freeing a deer when it's suck on a fence or when a seal is caught to remove a plastic tie around its neck. Like imagine being stuck in the woods, isolated, starving, dehydrated, and on the edge of death. Then out in the distance you hear thr horrifying screams of a skinwalker running towards you. You pick up something to try to defend yourself in vain. It suddenly lunges, pinning you down with terrifyingly massive sharp claws and impossibly powerful limbs, and out of nowhere it injects you with some fluids. You keep struggling, crying and screaming, as it starts running off probably taking you to its family to eat you. Finally, though, it drops you off right in front of a populated highway and runs off. And that's it.

I respect those video sponsors lmfao. I grew up in a low income area, as a kid there would be all these awesome books at the book fairs that would happen at my school but I never really had the money to buy them. It's probably why I became such a big collector of manga in my adult years. If kids want to read/enjoy books/just look at the pictures in said books let em'. Books are amazing escapes from reality they can allow any kid or grownup to feel like a noble knight or an adventurer in a different world. So yea just super happy for the people behind that sponsor. Good shit folks!

The tip for a runaway car is actually super helpful, once again, thank you Roanoke. Time stamp 12:17

Life lessons with papa roanoke, once again.

This was a really good video. Roanoke Gaming, hats off to ya. Love the scientific look into a movie I'll 99.9% probably never see. On a side note. Sammy T's in Huntsville Alabama is the last place I went with my now dead fiance some 15+ years ago. It was a concert/costume contest. My fiance entered the contest as a Catholic school girl and won. She was a Miss Alabama runner up btw. A few short months later she was gone. Sorry, just had to let it out. Just hearing the name of that bar and city brings memories rushing back.

Ty Rono, you just confirmed to me I narrowly avoided death via lack of sleep :D Some years back I worked for a "photo studio" as a techy, and due to me running on 12h/12h shifts I ended up not being able to sleep for about a week and had I not been bailed by a friend, had he not taken my shift so I could return 24 h later I would have ended up not sleeping for 2 weeks and most likely ended up flatlining in the process since at one point I started forgetting what I was supposed to do just as I got out the door! Dark Times, hell of a month that was !

“She’s already a bad mother, might as well solidify that” 😂😂

@@bryantsanchez-carazo5816 I think I might have translated it wrong, in my country (I'm Polish) to get your degree/diploma, in the last year of your studies you have to prepare a project and then present it to a jury of professors, then answer questions. It's called a defence, literally. We don't have a major here, it doesn't work like in the US, you just study the subject you applied for. I studied graphic design and my final project was a series of watercolor illustrations based on Scandinavian folklore plus design of a book about the topic with those illustrations in it. Huh, I only now realised that while I studied something completely different from Roanoke, the subject of my final project kinda is something he could make a video about. Small world.

I’m currently rewatching this video and I completely missed the part where you comment on the possible treatment for Alzheimer’s. I had a general psych professor who tended to squirrel a lot during class and she brought this up one day. Supposedly, and I say this because I didn’t look into it further so I’m very likely incorrect in my remembering of this particular topic, when using ultrasound it was found that the blood brain barrier opens and this is what allows the cells to go in and ‘clean out’ any calcifications/nasty bits in the brain. It’s a interesting little factoid that I haven’t heard outside of that one class but it’s cool to hear it mentioned in one of your videos! Even though I’m a new(ish) subscriber, I really enjoy your content! Especially since I learn something new every time I watch your videos, thanks for being rad!

The shout out at the begining was so sweet of you. I remember going to the bookfair with only like 5 bucks and my teacher paying for the rest on this stupid military aircraft book that I mustve read 20 times. Good shit Roanoke

My thoughts on why the "troll" was taken down but not out by the fire is that it has a similar reaction of "fainting goats" making it panic then the creature locks up causing it to "faint". Fire most likely is its trigger so it doesn't cause cave-ins. Most underground fires are caused by gas build up and leaking into structurally weak areas of caves.

I like when you explain the phenomenon/monster while you're talking about the synopsis. It makes the whole synopsis much more interesting!

I just love the coincidence of you talking about hypnic jerks, because earlier this morning I searched about it. Just so you know some SSRI have been know to cause more frequent hypnic jerks in people who didn't get them before. I searched because I started having jerks and spasm while falling asleep. More often than not it's my hand that will have a one time spasm as I drift to sleep. I find it funny. This morning I checked if it could be cause by my meds and I got a clear answer that it's the likeliest culprit. I'll talk to my pharmacist to confirm.
