At some point deep in prehistory, the first hominins left Africa to spread around Eurasia. When did this happen and who was migrating have been subject to huge debate!

    The idea of very early humans leaving Africa and then spreading out across thousands of miles through lush and exotic locations for millions of years and caring for each other to such a degree that they were even chewing food for older relatives is...breathtaking. It's hard to not feel a sense of obligation to that legacy and to doing our part in advancing ourselves so that future generations can look back and say the same.

    I've only recently discovered and subscribed to your channel. One thing I like best about your work is that you are willing to produce documentaries on topics which are not yet resolved, by which I mean you can't end them with a neat and tidy wrap-up and bow. Of course, most any science topic can be said to be still under investigation, but I think you know what I mean here. I'm an old guy and throughout my life have enjoyed the work of many science and popular science writers/producers/educators, starting back in the day with Isaac Asimov. Thanks so much for what you're doing and for keeping so much of your content free. I understand that your Nebula productions are inexpensive but unfortunately, even that small expenditure is a bit much for me at the moment. Best wishes.

    Excellent video Stefan. After I found out about Sahelanthropus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahelanthropus I got to thinking about whether they "talked"? Surely they made vocalizations and surely those vocalizations had meanings to other members of their tribe(s), and I got to to feeling "sentimental" in imagining their lives and feelings and thoughts, and I've been a little sad that VERY few people have the strong, vivid imagination AND the tender heart that lead to caring about such obscure ancient stories. But the last minute or so of your First-Leave-Africa video made me glad to feel that You have such imagination and care. Thanks! Matti

    Hi Stefan, as always, thanks for a great vid. Could I add a few comments? When you speak about the significance of the individual who left us Cranium D344 and jaw D3900, initially I thought that you did not appreciate the full significance of this, assigning it as you did, as an example of cooperation, as in the individual is fed rather than eaten. In fairness though, towards the end of the video you begin to appreciate the significance when you speculate that someone must have really loved this individual. That an individual was nurtured and fed, for such a time that the jaw had absorbed the tooth holes, has an extraordinary significance in respect of these people, who may have been our forbearers. This has to be contrasted with our contemporary nomadic people who sometimes abandon their elderly during migrations. Yes, not only its immediate family supported this person, but also, presumable the tribe. Whilst the response of the immediate family are patently expressing love as we understand it, (in itself a phenomenal discovery as to our humanness as far ago in history as 1.8m years) the support of the wider tribe, which can be inferred from the fact that a single family could not possibly support a non-contributing individual, is that the tribe values this individual. The contribution of the aged individual is presumably only important if they can recall past history, experience, and the all important "corperate knowledge" and then communicate it to the following generations. Other research suggests a 35 year life span was the norm. Consequently, i suggest that the value of this individual to the tribe is only of benefit if they can communicate to tribe members beyond the family. And to do this, they would need to be able to converse. Is this circumstantial support for proto-human speech 1.8m years ago?

    I'd like to first point out that i am an uneducated person who has had an anthropological interest since early childhood ,and through all that time the onLy one thing that intrigues me is mans evolution ,so lets get to my point ,,,,my point is there was never any evolutionary stepping from darwins theory ,the fact that during the life of darwin homo erectus was his stepping stone from apes to humans with an acceptable timeline ,yet since then more than six new dicoveries of man have been made and led to an extension of that timeline ,,,,next is intelligence, just because we as modern humans have had the benefit of thousands of years worth of learning we are no better than the ancient humans who got us here ,,,,,our journey of learning began ,with what we call simple design ,ie the wheel, fire ,hunting and gathering tools, then came farming and the domsetication of animals ,our journey also began with sea faring folk who (Polynesians) sailed the eaths oceans without compasses or maps only using the stars and knowledge of currents ,then after that we come to colonisation of lands,building houses and farming and in closing the only evolutionary process that i see as being tangible is our level of intellectual development ,however i really enjoyed this docco,,,,, thanks

    I'm pretty sure there was a find done by Dutch colonial agents, before WW2 or even earlier. It somehow disappeared on transport to civilized areas for research (Flores is kind of out of the way, which helped Flores man survive). Was a radio documentary about it, some years back, in Dutch of course, so not known in the English world. (Same goes for the famous flood that broke the Channel. French geologists had been publishing about it for over a decade before the first Brit found out, then _zzzoooommm_ it became world news.

    I think it is unlikely that the oral traditions survived for so many thousands years, but not entirely impossible. Likelier is that someone found fossils earlier and assumed they were still around, unless they survived far longer then we think right now. We kinda need to find more evidence here, a single site is a bit vague to understand an entire species. It do seems like their stone tools disappeared 50 000 years ago, at least to our current knowledge so they likely went extinct after that but we really need to dig more on the island.

Also, just because the last known tools are 50 000 years ago does not mean we yet found the oldest, they could theoretically survived a lot longer too (but hardly past pre history).

    Hi Stefan I love this Video and all your previous ones. On the idea of migration over the Himalayas, my understanding is that the Himalayas have grown between 3-5mm and 10-15mm annually or in the devils units 1/8"- 1/2" in elevation per year, for the past 2-3.5 million years. That averaged out over 50K years and the entire range at most might have been 600m or 2000ft a minimum of 100-150m or 3-500ft lower in elevation right?. Now you can call me crazy, but when I've visited the west coast specifically Whistler-Blackcomb its right around 150-200m or a few hundred feet from the year round glassier on top, to rich dense primarily coniferous forested slopes. speaking from experience the difference in the air density is noticeable too. so surely when we're talking about 1-500K years and elevation overall drop of lets give it a mean of 200K years and low end growth rate for 800m or 2640ft that's practically the entire skiable elevation of Whistler-Blackcomb. this must have a substantial impact on migratory patterns on the homo's of that time no?

    Coastal routes should follow ice age sea levels - when vast areas of continental shelf were exposed ( and dominated by the newly evolved coconut trees in Asia- coconut trees are a pioneer species on exposed tropical coastlines as they tolerate salt spray and prefer high sunlight) . Along with coastal routes , migration to the interiors would happen along freshwater rivers ( teeming with fish , and providing safety from jungle predators, excepting crocodiles , but humans have been used to crocodiles from their birthplace in Africa). Whatever the immediate ancestor of coconut trees was - it was not a major species before the pliestocene glaciation exposed vast continental shelves due to fall in sea levels.
