A Crash Course In Human Evolution With Anthropologist Chris Stringer 

I’d actually love to get a longer video on this subject, Chris really made it so interesting.

Excellent content - Chris Stringer I could listen to all day. Off to check out your tv channel now - nice work everyone.

Very informative for a quick overview. Thanks for posting!

I did social anthropology at Manchester Uni years ago (last year of the Hacienda), still have a love for it, I feel it is still very important

Loved Lone Survivors. It explained so much so well.

Missing visuals, but totally interesting. Evolution of mankind was exceptionally beautiful chapter , always underrated by geography and bio teachers. Congrats on a big effort.❤

Excellent interview of a great scientist Chris Stringer! Much appreciated!

As a complete noob in this and having all of my ready information dating back to the 60s and 70s, I appreciate this and thank HH for bringing the good doctor in on this on our behalf.

More more more! 👏 so fascinating!

Very good! This is one to save for reference. 👍

Watched all of it, need to watch again

I loved the information in this video, but found it frustrating that they had all these skulls, as visual representations in front of them, but didn’t show us them. The skulls are so key to showing the subtle evolution of our species and he was just talking about them, when showing the differences on the skulls would have been for more engaging.

I'm convinced that daliensis/longi is the same thing as denisovans, I'm happy to hear Chris say the same!

Thank you for the upload.

I'd love to have Chris Stringer as a professor, I would hear this man all day

Best channel out by a long long way 🙌 👌

would like to see a longer version inc. how climate and earth's orbit (closer to sun/farther away over thousands yrs...etc. and corresponding climate changes) effected evolution

Such a fascinating documentary on human evolution! Thanks for that! Just wondering what exactly made human brain grow large throughout the evolutionary process?

How are you doing sir iam new subscriber Arabic lady citizen since Christmas 2019 I began to subscribe to British and American RU-vid channels we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well thank you for your cultural documentary channel we appreciate your efforts . I gathered main information about topic you mentioned briefly here it’s the meaning of human evolution is lengthy process of Change by which people originated from ape like ancestors scientific evidence shows that physical behavioral trait shared by all people originated from ape like ancestors and evolved over period of approximately six milion years . First human evolved viewed zoologically we human are homosapiens . First evolution occurred in Africa about 3 155 00 years ago. Early human called homo habilis or handy man .about 24 milion to 104 million years ago in eastern and Southern Africa. Thank you for your giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English language as well iwish for your channel more success and progress stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones .

Very good interview

So cool Chris Stringer is going on the Joe Rogan podcast next month. Can’t wait!

very very interesting..thx...

Chris is great

More from Chris please. Absolutely fascinating!

Very good. I remember seeing a TV programme from Alice Roberts, where it was claimed that the wrist bones of H Flores were the same as the Australopithecines; the contention being that Australopithecines migrated out of Africa. Any thoughts? I'd also like to see a comparison on the muscle insertion markers of Neanderthals and modern weight-lifters/bodybuilders to give a portrayal of their general morphology.

Thanks allot friends. 😁💯🙏

Excellent

Thanks

Awesome 👌

Superb👌

Chris is a nice man and once personally replied to an email I sent him. I still remain sceptical about the notion that we were a separate species to Neanderthals, given we could have fertile children together.

A very enjoyable watch and also very informative. So sorry to hear about the massive inconvenience caused by Brexit when filming in the EU. Having thought the whole thing was a huge scam I emigrated to the Netherlands in 2020. Wishing you continued success with the channel.

I really love the content you produce on this channel, it is very high quality and very interesting. I look forward to seeing more, especially on this subject!

No mention of Ardipithecus? Still an awesome video though!

HH has come out guns blazin’! Yet another good video! 👍 😎 It won’t be long before youtube bans History Hit for sharing facts!

For the record, curiously they showed Australopithecines (Lucy) when discussing H. Erectus.

Darwin would have found the science of microbiology and DNA so gratifying, had he known about them. He (Darwin) did say that we were "created from animals".

I really wish the anthropologist would have corrected the interviewer with what he asks at 00:48 - “let’s see how it goes from this to that” pointing to the chimpanzee skull. It’s such an easily point to clarify and bugs me whenever I hear it ever since learning about evolution.

0:47 Sorry that is not how it works, chimpanzees are also derived and don't have to resemble our last comon ancestor more than we do.

The godfather of paleo anthropology

Let's go study information all the time tank you

Such a rich story with so many unanswered questions. What was the last common ancestor of humans with the other great apes? What was the last common ancestor of modern homo sapiens with the neanderthals?

Iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English language as none native speakers.

I barely learned any of this from public HS and college biology. I actually saw a similar video to this from a Christian channel that actually explained in evolution detail pov.

What age do we see the tear-the-hominid-of-any-nature-down?!

Have to say evolutionary theory challenges me , in that I have a faith, not rigid but rather more spiritual. I only became interested in life sciences at the beginning of Covid ( having a lucky survival after being very poorly ). I started watching literally hundreds of videos ( evolution and space/ time ) and have to say my mind has opened up to so many ideas. My favorite scientist is Sir Roger Penrose , whose CCC theory I find very appealing . This short video is amazing and explains so much .

You don't really have to wonder about humanity's next evolutionary change. We are causing our own extinction.

What about the Schwartz idea that orangutans are closer to us than chimps?

They are talking in a library??

Dragon man wow

Metal Gear!

Science is not linear and neither is the history of mankind!

💗💗💗

How am I 42 years of age an just now learning this?

A lot left out here and some pretty bad misconceptions mentioned. I see a lot of people saying they'd want a longer video. If you're interested in this topic you can also check out Erika over at Gutsick Gibbon and Forrest at Forrest Valkai. Both of them are PhD candidate and student respectively in BioAnth like myself. Erika is more into primatology and almost all her content is human evolution related. Forrest doesn't have as many videos on the topic, but he still has a handful. Both are amazing science educators.

In future 2 types of humanoids will evolve . One living underground and the other living above ground which will be food for the other

Did y’all see the straws drop past his hands?

Will we be the last?

I wonder if genetically, brain size and/or upright walking are tied to smaller canines? Or, maybe a mutation for upright walking is slaved to bigger and bigger brains, because the the functionality for balancing a fatter skull improves the more upright one’s posture is. It’s amazing what is tied to what on a DNA level. I saw a show about minks, or sables, I forget, but a peculiar thing happened as they tamed the animals. The offspring of former feral animals all developed white spots, ruining the coat. And, I mean, they kept records that showed it happened without exception. Changing DNA, or genes, often comes with unintended consequences.

If our society breaks down, and climate change or some other catastrophe alters our course, perhaps we could again live in isolated areas with some of us evolving traits that other groups do not. Or, we continue evolving information technologies and AI to the point our brains shrink dramatically (there is research that shows our brains have shrunk by 200 cc's in the last 6000-3000 years along with the rise of information/data storage). We could then become augmented with technology because our smaller brains cannot process such vast amounts of data, so AI enhancements become necessary for us to function. Or, Crispr tech (gene editing), will allow the richest in our society to evolve at an advanced rate.

You left out the Black Monolith and the aliens. 👽🕋

Tristan Hughes is hot!

Chris Stringers brain can be found in various parts of Africa.

Goes wrong at 2:31....the Australopiths were just habitually bipedal wading, sedge-munching cousins or ancestors to Gorilla lineage...our ancestors turned into obligate bipeds and were good at foraging underwater by 6.05Ma (look up all research since 2017 on the Trachilos footprints)..on what is now the island of Crete but between 7and 6 million yrs ago (=Ma) was a peninsula of Greece, then spent their time during the first half of the Pliocene living on the seacoast of East Africa, and did not colonize inland savannahs until about 3.7Ma...as the laetoli footprints and the first 3.3 Ma Lomekwi stone tools prove....then he just gets more lost, trying to support this mistake, until he reaches Erectus. Chris is still spouting tired old stuff that is fifty years old, from the 1970's, I'm sorry to say...such a nice guy...easy to listen to....

Fascinating indeed. And looking a bit further I found that in the modern Humans species, there is no race, merely ethnicities (locally bound origins), so all 'racists' as we know them for the last few centuries (or longer perhaps) are all wrong. If you look at the timeline, it took quite a long time to have a 'result' we can call 'modern humans'. And exactly as pointed out, will or can our current species outlive our own stupidity (i.e. the lack of global understanding of the limits our home planet can offer) in the near future ?

On what basis does lovely Dr Stringer (and I'm a fan) state at the end that the world will change more in the next few hundred years than it has changed before? In what ways? On what basis does he make that (to some) alarming claim? If he's talking about climate, I'm not at all sure I agree. And if he's talking about climate, why doesn't he say so? If he's talking about politics and war, why not say so? It just seems simultaneously baffling and alarming, but without evidence.

Sigh, we did not evolved from Chimps. Chimps and humans had a common ancestor that both evolved from. That ancestor was no more 'chimp-like' than it was 'human-like'. Using a chimp skull as the starting point in human evolution is wrong and misleading. In fact, there's some speculation that our last common ancestor was bipedal and walk upright. This has to do with the difference in knuckle walking between chimps and gorillas and a few fossils from the time right before the chimps and humans split. Chimps may well have evolved knuckle walking since the split. Point being chimps did not stop evolving after the split and at the time of the split there were no more chimps than there was humans.

Please share with other people my two brief videos. Thank you!

This crash course is hard to follow... models on the table that can't be seen clearly by the audience... references to branches that are not contextualised.. time frame references that aren't clear.. more work to make this presentation more useful

gee, but this just doesn't jive w/ the bible....lol...thanks for the vid...fascinating!!

Clearly aliens getting shipwrecked on our shores, and intermingling with the locals

At what species evolved the ability to speak language?

We have broken evolution as we know it. That's not a bad thing, but it makes it unpredictable. With the exception of terminal genetic diseases, we no longer follow the rule of what works best. The best guess we have is 'who is making the most babies?'.

So the evidence is we have similar features as apes so we must have evolved from them. Oooof.

Still pushing the 'story' 😂🤣

More than a little bit of interbreeding -- Modern humans with their smaller brains were the mate of choice for discerning Neanderthal women because they stood a much better chance of surviving child birth if they had kids with smaller brains.. best Bruce Peek

It is not just the number of changes required to change a single-celled organism into a human that is mind boggling but the order in which these changes have to happen. It does not aid an organism to have a leg until there is a nervous system to control the leg. An eye is useless until the brain has developed the ability to collect and interpret information from the eye. So why develop the ability until the eye exists? Even if only 1000 beneficial mutations are needed to change one creature into a slightly more advanced creature, the mutaion would still have to occur IN THE RIGHT ORDER. The odds of this happening are like flipping a coin and getting heads 1000 times in a row. This would happen once in 10 ^301 attempts. Even if every subatomic particle in the entire known universe(10^80 particles) mutated at the fastest possible rate (plank time= once every 10 ^-42 seconds) and had done so for 15 billion years, there would only be 10^139 mutational possibilities. There's simply nowhere near enough mutations or time available to explain the transformation of one form of life into another. And this is a mere 1000 changes!!. The transformation from amoeba to man would require millions of changes-all in the right order. Based on what we know of time ,space,matter and probability, EVOLUTION IS AN ABSOLUTE IMPOSSIBILITY!! SO STOP THE BULLSHIT

If I'm a true history fan? I am that indeed. Which is why I find it much easier to read and believe biblical history which I find much more believable and in line with the science that confirms the biblical history revealed to us by the One who was there and knows the end from the beginniing. One race, the human race.

Monkeys went bald.

I want ALIENS! and Adam and Eve pls

In living cells, information-carrying molecules (e.g. DNA or RNA) are like the DVD, and the cellular machinery which reads that information and converts it into proteins are like the DVD player. Just like the DVD analogy, genetic information can never be converted into proteins without the proper machinery. Yet in cells, the machines required for processing the genetic information in RNA or DNA are encoded by those same genetic molecules they perform and direct the very task that builds them. This system cannot exist unless both the genetic information and transcription / translation machinery are present at the same time, and unless both speak the same language. Biologist Frank Salisbury explained this problem in a paper in American Biology Teacher not long after the workings of the genetic code were first uncovered:It’s nice to talk about replicating DNA molecules arising in a soupy sea, but in modern cells this replication requires the presence of suitable enzymes. … [T]he link between DNA and the enzyme is a highly complex one, involving RNA and an enzyme for its synthesis on a DNA template; ribosomes; enzymes to activate the amino acids; and transfer-RNA molecules. … How, in the absence of the final enzyme, could selection act upon DNA and all the mechanisms for replicating it? It’s as though everything must happen at once: the entire system must come into being as one unit, or it is worthless. There may well be ways out of this dilemma, but I don’t see them at the moment. **Frank B. Salisbury, “Doubts about the Modern Synthetic Theory of Evolution,” American Biology Teacher, 33: 335-338 (September, 1971** *Casey Luskin* *The Top Ten Scientific Problems with Biological and Chemical Evolution*

I take it that none of this stuff is made up, it's all based on the origins, right?!💆‍♂💆‍♀🚶🚶‍♂🚶‍♀

Question: "Who are we? How we get here?" Channel: "Evolution. From chimpanzee" Religion: "Adam and eve. Descended from heaven" 👽guys: "Hybrid. DNA edited by 👽" Me: "Alien descended from heaven, married with chimpanzee and gave birth so many humans. In other words, I don't know."

🙄🙄

An even faster crash course .. Some billions of years ago there where cells. Now there's humans and other species

We are actually a lot less likely to experience climate change the likes of the younger dryas cataclysm, about 12k years ago.

I know it's fanciful but I wonder if Neanderthals didn't start as Albinos of the different subspecies of sapiens existing in Africa some 300,000 years ago. Given that Albinos generally have immunity issues and gene testing of Neanderthals show susceptibility to immunity issues, I feel it's worth a thought. Documentaries have shown gorrilas and chimpanzees fearing albino offspring and banishing them. If the albino sapien somehow survived birth and was tolerated by the group I believe his condition would drive him North to find cooler weather.perhaps driving them into the glacial areas. If all the different sapien Albinos congregated in the North and interbreed eventually the typical Neanderthal evolved.

Both of these videos with Chris make some fairly serious editing mistakes that are very misleading. Using a male gorilla skeleton to demonstrate the light build of H. sapiens relative to other Homo, using an Australopithecine reconstruction when talking about erectus etc. Really amateur stuff

We have fossils from 5,000,000 to 50,000 years ago, and still no missing link. I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard an Anthropologist say, "we actually don't know" in my lifetime.

Many other scientists feel this way. Over 800 Ph.D. scientists have signed a statement agreeing they “are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.” Indeed, two biologists wrote in Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics: “it remains a mystery how the undirected process of mutation, combined with natural selection, has resulted in the creation of thousands of new proteins with extraordinarily diverse and well optimized functions. This problem is particularly acute for tightly integrated molecular systems that consist of many interacting parts…” Perhaps it would be less mysterious if the theoretical conceptions could be expanded beyond unguided evolutionary mechanisms like random mutation and natural selection to explain the origin of complex biological features. Problem 4: Natural Selection Struggles to Fix Advantageous Traits into Populations In 2008, 16 biologists from around the world convened in Altenberg, Austria to discuss problems with the modern neo-Darwinian model of evolution. The journal Nature covered this “Altenberg 16” conference, quoting leading scientists saying things like: “The origin of wings and the invasion of the land . . . are things that evolutionary theory has told us little about.”[49] “You can’t deny the force of selection in genetic evolution . . . but in my view this is stabilizing and fine-tuning forms that originate due to other processes.“The modern synthesis is remarkably good at modeling the survival of the fittest, but not good at modeling the arrival of the fittest. EN *Casey Luskin* *The Top Ten Scientific Problems with Biological and Chemical Evolution* [49.] Scott Gilbert, Stuart Newman, and Graham Budd quoted in John Whitfield, “Biological theory: Postmodern evolution?” Nature, 455: 281-284 (September 17, 2008).

Try speak with early evolution as been a part of. The voice seems to dissacoiate from humans. Trying to identify as modern, latest human is a mistake . Be able to find femine in the internal mind. Try to meet many femine . By walking and resettleting or travelling. To move as best if not achieve a physce that has a many femine therefore normals amind is to keep walking and or traveling while seasons allow. The removal if the male certainty internal is important to find a self. The voices in this video are trying but the voice a survival is in need of Ballance. By sight touch hearing colds . Ballance the senxes and repkamce the survival in that

Welp...round 2 of evolution goes to all Chads I guess 🤔😳😏 wait....so calling someone a "Chad"...is....in regards to evolution....progress..!?

Is this science?

Human evolution is a theory.
