A Short History of Humanity with Johannes Krause 

brilliant, thank you

how does this only have 32 views? this should have like 32 million

Brilliant...All so much more related to each other than we dare think!

I think Johannes is a great educator. I find him very easy to listen to and to understand. I was so impressed by a RU-vid video I watched on human ancestor DNA by him that I searched for more and this is how I found this video. I hope he does many more in the future!

This video deserves Millions of views. Of course, it would take some time for the stew to cook, but the history is valuable if folks would get it.

This is absolutely brilliant - thank you

i love this man...hope,ill be able to see him in leipzig👍👏💪

Recent archaeological evidence seems to show that pastoralists started drinking milk even before they could digest lactose as adults. Probably hydration was more important than nutrition (water is heavy, you don't want to carry a lot). If you have a milking herd you suddenly have portable water anywhere there is green pasture. Nutrition however is more important than shorter breast-feeding for larger families since young children need a few years to adapt to non-human milk. You can't successfully replace breast milk with horse or cows milk until the digestive system is more mature.

Which is the rule for various recognitions related to some exceptional bone finds. Is it important the person who leads the archaeological excavation of the bones or the person who proves in the laboratory to whom these bones belong? I'm asking purely because I'm not in that area, so I don't know. Somewhere I see that the leader of the excavation is important, in this case I see that Anatoly Derevianko and Michael Shunkov are not mentioned at all, but only some nameless Russian archaeologists there, in videos.

Yeah its a big problem

Harappa was trading with Mesopotamia both through land and sea routes. Indus Valley people were masters of sea trade yet they never get as praised as Yamnaya or steppe people get for Horse riding.

I (52th North) still remember a visit to my GP, five years ago: She: You're blood shows a 1/3rd of the vitamin D that's normal - we have to do something to that ... Me: So I have to eat more fish ? She: I'm sorry, you cannot eat enough fish to fix that.

Good discussion with lots of information. Too bad the interviewer injects his personal viewpoints. Is there a European guilt on world exploration and colonization?

Best suv

Why are pigs naked? Why aren't dogs hairless for example? Why did evolution only develop naked apes if evolution favours the naked running hunter? No hairless cats either and they rely on speed. Makes sense for whales?

Language of Andronovo is unknown Language of BMAC is unknown Language of Harappa is unknown Language of Jiroft is unknown Language of Elam is unknown Yet they claim without proof that Andronovo was Indo-Iranian and Harappa was Dravidian. That's straight pseudo-science 🙄

To say that 10,000 years ago every European was "black" is nonsense. As a geneticist he should know better. First, we don't know exactly how darkly pigmented paleolithic and neolithic European hunter gatherers were. Secondly, and more importantly, the fact a phenotypic trait is shared between two populations does not mean that they are closely related.

Put your laptop on a solid surface

I would like to read his boek. It seems interesant. I always tried to understand the history of the world inside the history, language, archeologie, culture but a biochemical analysis of DNA can us tell more than some lier historians of the past or modern times that wrote for the winner's empires of kings who paid for their lies. I have been always in search of the truth and inside me I have many questions about our Continent, our history why we are so different if we have the same ancestors? I have blood group 0- and I am only in my family, two of my sister have 0+.and AB.I am allergic maybe milk or something else but it is all the year. I see that many people with blood group 0- has a similar problem. Why ? I would like to know it. All these makes me search scientist as him to know the truth. The race of human kind is evolving but for good or bad? That is the biggest concern. I don't like to believe that pandemy came due to the multicultural connection of different people. Always the empires mixed different people from different races of countries so is the story of earth a story of barbarian power that conquered the civilization , all these powers without a civilization stay in power for 200 -500 years and they put together farmers, soldiers and jagers so is our languages and culture shaped. I am curious if the theory of Johannes is contrasted or not? From a scientist I mean ...anyway is very good but what if the world was a Pangea ? That means people didn't emigrated so far way but inside the continent? There are a lot of question about the earth and continental situation. Blue eyes or curly hair, skulls ect these are studied and before ...but mutations in our DNA. I don't believe that a Labo can make a scientifically test of DNA because that takes 35 years and costs a lot of money. My question is what test the people with a DNA kit?

All this human history is half baked. You have just 1 low quality sample from India dated 2500bce. Unless you have as many samples from India as you have from rest of the world, human pre-history will be half baked.

Migration spreads knowledge... Not in this day and age. What a silly statement.

Okay, 46 minutes in, this pisses me the fuck off. Wrong Johannes. Modern human subspecies DO exist. And you are the very person in the entire world who proved it, along with your boss Svante Paabo. Ethnic Europeans have up to 6% Neanderthal DNA. Asians have Denisovan + Homo erectus admixture. Melanesians have 3rd (southern) Denisovan and up to 7.8% Denisovan/Homo erectus admixture. Afros have up to 19% archaic ghost species which is almost certainly a late Australopithecine, or Homo naledi. Chris Stringer swears it's Heidelbergensis. Maybe? But the point is 19%. You cannot sit there and say there is no human variation, that subspecies do not exist. That is ABSURD!

Downvoted for debunked farming vitamin d hypothesis

Okay Johanes, you're contradicting yourself. One one hand your saying 16 generations back a person doesn't have any valid ancestry with say a king or a noble or some royalty. But on the other hand you say 50,000 years ago we're all Africans.

Great show. This is the human being who literally discovered Denisovans. He's a hero. However, ended on kind of a down note. 2021 is not such a great time to be a white person. We are discriminated against, violence committed against us here in the US and Europe. On that I disagree with him. 40, 50 years ago, life was better for Whites.
