  Thank you for using the correct (scientifically) word... Hypo-thesis. Is the discipline of paleo archaeology even able to form a scientifically based thesis (meant to write Theories)? I hate when people studiying archaelogy throw around words like "my theory" when speaking of what has been found and studied. In my opion the only thing they do, is devaluing the work that has been done. We have "Theories" from the study of chemistry and other disciplines were those who study and look into what facts they have been able to confirm are able to form a theory... But other disciplines do not give those who study them the ability to form a proper theory. Everything that is "thrown about in those disciplines" is at most a hypo-thesis... not even a thesis. Should we as humans abandon those disciplines? No! they give us very important information about our environment and the physical responses of our bodies and minds.

  Bonobos pink, Chimps dark, Gorillas black. All tropical forest dwellers. Why? Skin colour not dictated by UV so much as cultivated for it's aesthetic effect? Bonobos look a lot like juvenile chimps and are a lot more pacific than chimps. Gorillas hair colour denotes seniority socially in males. Suggests behavioural traits associated with skin/hair colour - aesthetics.

  After watching Prof. Lieberman as a guest of nearly 40 videos on KZread, this is the first time he appears as a host. Wonderful conversation. I particularly liked Prof. Lieberman's comments, always bringing the topic back to its concrete context. I only wish that we could have gotten a glimpse at the list of the 50 most thrilling discoveries. Nobody has yet seemingly published anywhere the list of contents of this book. Amazingly, now, in May 2024, a good three years after the publication of this book, there's only one single comment about it on Amazon, and it's a two-line statement: "A very interesting, simple, easy to follow book. Whilst at the same time full of interesting information." How can anybody feel any urgent eagerness to get this book after reading this lonely bland evaluation? It'd be very revealing to know the volume of sales over those last three years. There are many reasons for this lack of reader enthusiasm. First, the book is on the very expensive side. Second the field is immensely crowded with books on every conceivable aspect and variation of the story and origins of the human lineage. And, in this huge competition, my own feeling is that the title of this book is too weak, not very catching. Repeating the word "discovery" twice is a misuse of valuable title space. What is the target segment of the reading population the book is aiming at? The book cover gives very little indication of what contents the general reader can expect to encounter. It seems that only a reader already deeply immersed in the subject might have the desire to add it to his/her shelves. The usual challenge - easy to say of course - was to find a way to thread the collection of those 50 stories into one single arresting overall theme of interest that is deployed through the book. "Discovering Us", as the main stated hook of the title, does not seem to do the trick here. Who's "Us", anyway? One can argue that this catch phrase is, in fact, deeply misleading. The book is not about discovering "Us", who we are, existentially, here and now in our physiology, anatomy and culture, nor about "what it means to be human" (a popular, profound-sounding, but meaningless cliche). It is, specifically, about discovering our unknown relations, our distant and mysterious kin. And how do we find our lost past links? We are discovering "Them", and do they look strange and unfamiliar! It is because we already know who we are, that we can use this present knowledge to go back and look for them. How do we recognize our relatives? That is a major issue in behavior biology. We are, per force, the basic model for identifying them. First of all, they must in some ways, look like us. This search is more in the spirit of an orphan given up for adoption, or abandoned in a vast forest, devoting time and efforts to locate and identify her parents, her family or relatives, or her tribe, and beyond. "Us" is already a given, the subject of our human existence. It is not a matter of "definition". What we are looking for is how, by whom, we got here, where we now are. In the best scientific approach now possible. "Discovering Our Ancestors" would have been a truer labeling. Another, more general and powerful, factor at work here, is the current environment itself: people are reading fewer and fewer books, including myself. Nonetheless, I still intend to buy this fascinating, high-quality, book, but only as a second-hand book and I hope at a much lower price (best one so far $46).

  I keep hearing homo sapien sapiens have the biggest of big ape brains, but no one mentions Neanderthals whose brain size is larger, at 1410 cc than ours at average 1349 cc. I’ve heard this assertion several times on KZread and wonder whether it is wishful thinking, ignorance, or just not statistically significant.

  Alright, I am willing to accept that a bunch of homo naledi has been deliberately buried in that cave! Someone must have brought them in there, arranged them in a fetal positions and covered them with soil. And someone must've marked the wall with that regular pattern. All other explanations are not compatible with Occam's Razor! However, can we be sure that these bodies have been buried by fellow homo naledi, and has the art work on the wall really been created by a homo naledi artist? If in the distant future archeologists - or aliens who want to learn more about homo sapiens - would start to dig in my garden, they would find the bodies of various cats and dogs. And they would conclude that these bodies have been deliberately buried there, and each animal had been wrapped in a valuable silk scarf. Someone must have cared for these animals and cherished them. But future archeologists would probably not conclude that these cats and dogs had been buried by other cats and dogs, and that these animals must've been cognitively far more advanced than previously thought. Isn't it possible that these homo naledi have been buried by other more advanced hominids who were definitely around at the time when these creatures have been buried? And these more advanced hominids could've created also the artwork. The fact that there were no traces of other beings in that cave doesn’t prove that only homo naledi were in that cave. And while grown up humans would've had a lot more trouble to squeeze themselves through these narrow entrances than the much smaller homo naledi, it’s not impossible. Humans have been in that cave many times by now! Maybe, these enigmatic homo species has buried their comrades in that cave. It’s not impossible, and they may have been cognitively far more advanced than their relatively small brains suggest. But there are nevertheless other possibilities. Whatever happened in that cave - it's absolutely exciting! To me it's on par with the discovery of homo floresiensis, who way another tiny hominid with a small brain.

  There are at least 100 causes of violence and 100 causes of peace & harmony. We could have thousands of hours of robust debate about which are the primary drivers and which effective drivers we should focus upon. And we should have those debates, explorations, and experiment. But let us not become super-arrogant, imagining we have or can find the Holy Grail of social solutions. I can’t even tell you what drives me; such as when my wife accuses me of doing what she wants in order to please her; so that I will avoid the pain of her displeasure (happy wife, happy life), so I’ll feel righteous (having done my duty), and doing it for the welfare of our kids. I argue that I do love her, but I can’t sort out my own motives. I can’t put a percent on how much I am driven by each motive, emotions, & reasoning. I have strong feelings of love for my wife, and a strong fear of making her angry, and a strong desire for domestic peace. In the same way, a social grass roots movement grows up out of a indistinguishable mixture of many ideas, arguments, events, leaders, and feelings. Such movements ended Western slavery, witch hunting, etc. Certainly there is no universal, global Utopia over the horizon. There is no clear path of reason leading to world peace. I’ve heard big claims and promises during my youth in the 1960’s. But the same type of hyper-promises have been made by politicians and intellectuals for thousands of years. They all failed. Yes humanity has made some impressive moral gains which we should celebrate. These may be due to humanity’s intellectual growth, Christianity, leadership & example of Western nations, wealth & trade, media, etc. Finding true causes hidden within 100,000 associations is a monumental task. And not all hasn’t been a rosy upward ride. Humanity has been on a downward slide since the relatively good times of the 1960’s, which are not mentioned in the video. These include 2.5 times increase of violent crime since 1960, increased fear of crime, increased pornography, drug addiction, declining education, welfare abuse, increased abortions, unwed mothers, decline of fatherhood, declining trust & social participation, increasing radicalism, deep divisions, new forms of racism, national debt, illegal alien social stress, etc. The European murder rate declined 60 times since 1300 AD maybe because the masses were made aware of the tyranny of Popes and kings; began to reform those systems; and those systems better contained those prone to murder. During the Witch Hunts, the people and visionary leaders discovered the insanity of convicting a person who admits to being a witch during torture. A ground-swell of outrage began brewing. Martin Luther was able to beat down the Catholic Church only because the people became quickly informed due to the printing press and they strongly supported the reformation.

  At 3:40: “The Bible had no problem with slavery.” Really!! Have you ever read the Bible? Ex 21:16 says kidnappers are to be put to death. I'd call that God having a problem with evil slavery. There are dozens of such verses. There is one out of the dozens of verses that gives me heartburn. But God destroyed Israel because it started practicing slavery. Yes, bond slavery was allowed, which is another term for getting upfront money. When I borrowed $20,000 for my first home I was in bondage to the bank, and had to play by their rules. Criminals are in bondage. Evil slavery is alive and well in parts of Africa and the orient. Sex slavery happening near you, but at least it is illegal in America and most places.

  Well this didn't age well. The single orgin out of Africa theory doesn't hold up anymore. Europeans can trace their lineage in Europe for at least 300,000 years. Once homo Antecessor is confirmed that date will move back to 1.2 million years. We are hybrid mixes. Europeans, Africans & Asians mixed with different ancient hominids. The idea that a African walked out of Africa & somehow with enough time he magically turned to a Asian & a European is funny. It blows my mind that despite all the evidence people still try to make the single orgin theory work. I mean if you just look at Early European modern humans aka Cro magnon man you will clearly see no African admixture at all. Then how do you explain the different morphologies of say bone structure? Did the sun change that too? Lol
