I really appreciate how you pointed out that the researchers' work was influenced by having lived through the World Wars. It's important to remember that science isn't something that exists in some pocket dimension unaffected by the rest of history, it's something that people do, and those people are both influenced by the world around them, and (especially in fields fraught with as much importance as human origins) they are aware of how their theories will influence the world in return.

Technically they were... from FLYING dinosaurs- what, from the way the video describes it, was apparently some now-extinct species of giant eagle or something.

How can you not mention the discovery and control of fire? It removed all previous natural predators in one fell swoop. This facilitated mankind himself filling the ecological niche vacated by other predators. It directed our tribal behaviour, our nocturnal (night owl) tendencies (looking after the fire), and freed us from the daily drudge of finding food / not being food, which gave us the free time to look at stars and wonder what they might be. Which no other species ever has done.

5:23 it was later discovered that, while they could’ve hunted hominid infants, leopards were too small to hunt the bigger adults. Another cat called Dinofelis, a member of the sabre-toothed cat family, was discovered to also match the tooth marks in SK 54, and they were bigger than leopards. So while there were some animals, like leopards, hyenas and eagles, that only hunted young hominids, there were bigger animals, like Dinofelis and crocodiles, that would hunt the strong adults.

There had to be a time early on, when the hominids were prey for many carnivores, even omnivores. That's how they probably learned to defend themselves with spears that they used for hunting at some point! Be it hominids, homo sapiens or Neanderthal-Denisovan hybrids, they were probably all prey at some point in early history. If they weren't prey, they wouldn't have had to learn to defend themselves against them!

Always interesting, thank you.
