It's so amazing to think of functional humanoids living 1 MILLION years ago on this planet. Considering history as we know it has only been around maybe 10,000 years, this is really mindblowing to me. One wonders if they had a developed language with articulated words and how much they spoke, or if they spoke at all.

There's no history around to point that there were any humanoids around.. Demonic scabs dream up this BS and put it out as fact, when they have no proof. What does one history book, the Bible say about humans.. Adam and Eve the first - then a flood - then the tower of Babel. Government all around the world today is this Mystery Babylon, that the Bible speaks about that will be destroyed in the end of this age, which is about to take place.. Revelation 12 "The Great Sign" of the pregnant woman in the sky/heaven took place on 23 Sept. 2017. This has started the countdown for the end times before Jesus comes back down to earth to rule over from Jerusalem.. WAKE UP People... Time is short.

One thing that is very interesting about your videos is the number of people who watch them and provide strong feedback about how much they enjoy them. It tells you that as a culture, we want to know about our past and how we became what we are today. At the same time, you don't see much on TV about our past even on channels that should generate this kind of information. You could easily take the material you develop to television and it would be a big hit.

A few months ago I saw a video of some Kalahari hunters armed only with spears taking a fresh kill from a couple of lions. The way they explained it, it was a matter of having enough men (3-4 if I remember correctly) and not moving in such a way as to provoke an attack. They just slowly moved closer and closer until the lions got nervous and moved away. There's no reason to think our distant ancestors couldn't have done something similar. Prehistoric humans may not have been as much at the mercy of their environment as they are often depicted.

Homo Erectus hunted in packs armed with stone hand axes. Also interesting to note is that every fossil thigh bone of homo erectus had the tell-tale ridge line that today only shows up in extreme long distance runners. This meant that being hunted by homo erectus meant being run down until exhausted, then pounced on and cut to pieces with stone hand axes. What a brutal way to die. If that's what prehistoric lions faced, no wonder they would just give up the kill.

It's amazing to think these people were just like us, going about their days making food, washing clothes etc and had no idea the legacy thwy would leave on the world and potentially the universe

Baldness is an ancient trait that vastly increases heat transfer. I found out in my forties taking a couple of 20 somethings to a Texas beach and ran rings around them while they sat and complained of the heat. The reason smoke follows you around a campfire is the top of your head pours heat out like a chimney and that air is drawn from around you. A bald man draws more smoke than a fully-haired man. Weirdly, from a distance a naked white man with black hair and a hairy back and no tan line has the same coloration as an otter, which is what he looks like. As for small brains; in the 80's Steven Spielberg put out a puppet series named Dinosaurs! and at the end of one of the episodes the characters mentioned that they are mathematically superior to mammals because having four toes instead of five they live in a hexadecimal world. And hexadecimal translates directly to binary. They can do calculations by counting on their toes impossible for mammals, who must memorize tables of numbers. I have pet birds. I play musical instruments. Sometimes the birds sing with me. If you play the same song again a bird who is into it will cheep at the same place in the music each repeat (try it! A wild bird will do) By listening to their chirps you can see their interpretation of musical phrasing. Odd numbers of beats per measure seems to interest them. A right handed bird or a left handed bird could not fly. Birds are binary and ambidextrous. (not the New Zealand Wry-bird, an exception) My birds have brains the size of beebees. Yet scientists have found they have a 45-word vocabulary that we can distinguish, and they understand a question about their desires gives them the right to a choice. (Do you want out? YES! we want to play! NO! I have eggs I am sitting on! This works and psychologists have not tested it because they can not handle empowered animals) Then again the society of chickens held a meeting: they were tired of predation on their young and asked humans for help. The humans offered protection in exchange for slavery. This free chickens live rare and in fear in their jungles but slave chickens have taken over the world. It's what worries me about Russians.

What do you think caused humans to develop exponentially at a certain point ? It seems like for a while it was linear, then around a certain time development become exponential ?

A couple of things: 1) The ability to create fire. 2) The invention metal tools. 3) Reading, writing, and oral tradition that let information pass down from one generation to another. Even though humans have been using fire for hundreds of thousands of years, our ability to create fires from scratch (using flint or friction) has only been around ~200,000 years (give or take). Fire is an incredibly useful tool not just for cooking food and for warmth, but for doing a lot of labor. For example, since our ancestors didn't have saws, they couldn't cut a tree in half easily. But they could burn it in the middle to turn large trunks into smaller pieces. Fire allows you to create pottery to store food long-term. Metal tools were another large step because they're just better at cutting than stone tools. They're better for hunting, can be turned into complex shapes, don't break as easily so you don't have to remake or repair tools so frequently, etc. Reading, writing, and oral tradition is what allowed these technologies to spread a lot quicker. Complex systems of storytelling are often overlooked in these discussions, but accurately passing down information orally meant you could remember things without having them recorded elsewhere. All of these things led to exponential development and eventually two of humanity's most important inventions: interchangeable parts and the printing press. The proliferation of these two inventions has led to more expansion of human knowledge in the last 2,000 years than the previous 200,000 years combined. The modern printing press and interchangeable parts as we use them today have led to more developments in the last 500 years than the last 5 million.

Thank you for sharing that was brilliant. That really helped clear up my understanding. Particularly that Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa, departed (later than other humanoid species) where they then encountered other humanoid species in other parts of the world who had departed Africa in earlier migrations, I hadn't understood or been able to make sense of that before .(last 1-2 minutes of the video)

We have a tendency to romance the "one with the world" of ancient people. I doubt it gave them a very warm and wonderful feeling. Finding food and shelter took up most of their time. They were constantly having to be on the lookout for preditors who very dangerous. I don't think they had much time to contemplate "higher" elements of life. Very good video.

It’s really a big picture story - the human story. Chance and circumstance play a significant role.

What were our ancestors doing a million years ago? Probably wondering what their descendants would be doing in a million years. 😜 More seriously, this was a very well-done and informative video.

This is fascinating information. I can’t get enough of human history. I wish we had a more accurate time line leading up to the Egyptians and how they maybe discovered the pyramids. I know it in my soul we had a worldwide civilization during the super continent Pangea.

I think your "soul" needs a better education on the distant past. Most of the Egyptian pyramids were built something like 4500 years ago. The oldest evidence of an agricultural civilization in Egypt dates back to something like 7500-8000 years ago. Our own species has been around maybe 300k years, and even if you include australopiths as humans, then the earliest humans don't appear until nearly 7 million years ago. Meanwhile Pangea began to break up during the late Triassic/early Jurassic, about 200 million years ago.

@@nealsterling8151 not only that, but it was still tens of millions of years before the earliest of the dinosaurs that are well-known by the public today. Those don't appear until the mid-Jurassic, and Pangaea was long gone by the. The dinosaurs around in the Triassic tended to be small and were likely being out-competed by the more crocodile-like pseudosuchians.

Mostly not chilling. But sometimes they probably chilled.

This was dope.

The movie quest for fire sure does show a world how it was back then

They should make a movie about travelling in time to that era

My guess building huge monoliths, being able to visit one another globally and living free and happy lives.

as to the which are human question: it seems Lee Berger's(teams) work on Naledi has turned up some interesting discovery's about the impressions that sinus cavities leave in skulls/fossils and how that relates to being human. expect to see much more on this soon.
