Astronomy, biology, philosophy, history, anthropology, linguistics, mythology, literature and the history of ideas, are crucial fields to get familiar with if you want to not stomp through life with dumb assumptions about what the world is and how people work.

The most robust available data suggest that humans first arrived in the Americas approximately 16,000 years ago, but those people were not affiliated with the Clovis Complex. What we say is that humans became more widespread in the Americas between 12,600 and 13,000 years ago, with the rise of the Clovis complex. Presumably, that technology facilitated expansion and settlement. Thanks again! (BdeP)

Sam Hovater Multiple waves was widely held until recently until it was genetically disproven. It seems the current view is that men from multiple regions in Asia accumulated in the Bering Sea land bridge over time, but glacially stopped from reaching North America. They were substantially trapped by renewed glaciers behind them leaving a human population isolated on the land bridge for several thousand years. They naturally mixed more thoroughly to become a single people , developed its own culture and technology, maybe the Clovis point as well. When ice melted they were released into Americas and spread quickly throughout. This explains why all Native American , North and South are so genetically identical but historically mixed from several regions of Asia. The studies give a lot more detailed support for this but that’s the current view. Fascinating.

I really like your introductions before you show the logo & actually start the show. They tend to grab my attention & drive me to want more specifics. Great design, script, & editing. Bravo! Keep up the good work. From a dyslexic who doesn't learn from books, thank you for being my education. DFTBA

I found a Clovis site around 5000 year old. It was along the looking glass river between Owosso and Perry Michigan.

No one: PBS Eons: You guys remember that one time? Yeah you 'member!

I enjoyed the video, but it appears the video did not give enough credit to the safe assumption that vast parts of land that is now underwater was indeed above water thousands of years ago, and our ancestors could have walked where they needed to go.

Sometimes I wish I can travel back in time just to witness and unravel these fascinating aspects of our past. It will certainly give me some point of continuity or wholeness as an organism to know where I come from.

It is pretty amazing that all of these humans traveling such great distances yet still somehow maintain roughly the same genome as when they first set out from Africa. I expected that anyone who eventually landed in South America would, by this time, be unable to interbreed and produce successful offspring with someone who was still in Africa, that is, by this time I sort of expected speciation to occur given the number of generations these hominids have been separated from their point of origin.

Indigenous people in South America can reproduce with indigenous people in Africa right now, what makes you think it would be so different? Species don't change quickly, we're still all Homo Sapian.

@@kthemaster1999 I don't think it's necessarily true that evolution needs to be slow. Given enough survival pressure, evolution can be sped up considerably. And we're not talking a few thousand years. This is hundreds of thousands of years apart, literally across the globe in completely different living conditions. I think the conditions are sufficient for the genetics to drift apart. I think the fact that most of the genome was left unchanged despite this is worth noting and not as obvious as you make it out to be.

Unfortunately none of them were ever as widespread as even ancient modern humans were, and as you saw from this video even when it comes to us we usually only find a few teeth at best, maybe a body if the persons family buried them themselves, but many ancient homo species like the "denisovans" dont even have a complete skeleton that was ever found. I agree a video on just the specific differences of all known hominins were though i just dont think a individual video for each one will happen

"We met with and interbred with other homids along the way, but that is a story for another time."

I would recommend the documentary The Great Human Odyssey. It covers early human history and expansion. There are two versions. One that sums it up more quickly and a more detailed three parter. You can find both on KZread. It’s one of my favorite series. Very fascinating stuff.

Well done! This is excellent!

Hank, show us the sea level and landmass fluctuations from varying interglacial/glacial periods.

Thanks for alle the videos. Here are some suggestions for future topics: Origin of predation - probably one of the biggest gamechagers in the history of life, and one of the motors of evolution. Evolution of spideres - arguably the most interesting group of animals. One video on spiders in general, one one the spiderweb. Hope you can use this. Mattias

I found this really interesting due to another video I had watched purporting the success of humans in new locations being dependent on encountering similar climate conditions based on relative latitude. It is pretty noticeable that the first trace migrations appear to be from north africa to the middle east through india and china all along a very similar latitudinal line

"Sea levels did vary in the Pleistocene Epoch, and probably made some crossings a little easier, but our ancestors still would've had to find a way to get to the islands of South-East Asia. And we do not know how they did it, but we know they got there". What the hell ? I really love your channel but this is really weird coming from you guys, since we DO know how they got there. It's because during this period the sea level was indeed much lower than today. These islands did not exist and there was a whole subcontient instead : Sundaland. Just check it out ! It was exposed throughout the last 2.6 million years. There was also the continent of Sahul lying directly south of it which used to exist. I'm impressed because I even think that you talked about it in your previous videos. You could at least show ice age maps of the world in there ! Who know how much was lost under the seas. Anyways, keep up the great work of course, your videos are still totally awesome and relevant, I just wanted to point this out (:

@@lilaclizard4504 Sundaland article on Wikipedia has a map of full extent of lands with sea levels lower by 120m which corresponds the last glacial maximum when the levels were historically lowest. So it's something between that and the current map depending on the exact sea level at the time.

Only some of the current Southeast Asian islands were part of Sundaland. Even when sea levels were at their lowest, getting so Sahul and some of the other islands that were detached from both land masses required ancient humans to cross the sea. So humans were already building boats 65,000 years ago.

Dude, that was awesome.
