CARTA: Exploring the Origins of Today's Humans - Jean-Jacques Hublin, Joshua Akey, Iain Mathieson 

Fantastic lectures. I am so happy that I sit in my home in Europe, Hungary, and watch a conference with the best researchers about the hominids and the genetic crossbreed of Neanderthals & Sapiens... Thanks guys, in my world scientists are the heroes.

This is the first I saw of CARTA after RU-vid recommendation, and now I have spent the whole day on these videos. What a great set of lectures. Why even bother to get information from anyone other than the scientist-authors themselves!

Dr. Akey's research on the way Tibetans' blood has adapted to produce fewer red blood cells in order to survive the high altitudes of the Himalayas, is brilliant.

I am so glad there are new carta videos! Absolutely love this conference. Thank you so much for all the uploads. Anthropogeny is endlessly fascinating

This was a lecture I could have sat through over and over! So many things to think about and so many concepts to wonder about!

Such wonderful lectures: amazing to find out where we come from.

This is why I subscribe. Please keep making these.

I had to applaud Dr Akey . Very good research. Well presented too!

very good, Watch CARTA fascinating, feed your mind

Love this video. Yes videos like this are exactly why I subscribed to this channel.

This is why I subscribed to this channel.

I am absolutely convinced that in this day and age ignorance is a choice. These lectures help me go from a diehard religious to a fulfilled atheist. So merci Carta, tout simplement.

Learn a lot of things about human origin from this video.

Wonderful! Thank you.

Thanks covid 19. I have new vocabulary. Molecular excavation, Lapita expansion 3000 BC. I must rewatch for more gems. Comment section is something else. Thanks Carta. Stay safe everyone.

Awesome lecture

Utterly fascinated .. Bravo

This is so much better than religion.

Wonderful speech... I love it.. thank you.

What makes the scientists say that the Sapiens are a species different from another one, say, Erectus? 02:06 What is considered a red line between any two hominid species? In another way of asking, why wouldn't you group any two hominid species together into one species?

Excellent lecture! The presenter repeatedly got straight to the point, and then rapidly moved on to the next issue without dwelling too long on the previous one. Minimal hot air! 😆

how do these guys differentiate between neanderthal, sapien and denisovans genes ? ????????

Provide the citations

Why are you saying the 2nd way Africans got neanderthal genes was through early migration out of Africa if you are saying the gene flow was only in one direction from Human to Neanderthal in that particular migration - we didn't get their genes they got ours. It doesn't make sense.

I encourage anyone to read the "Auriferous Gravels of the Sierra Nevada of California" by Josiah Whitney, chapter: "The Calaveras Skull" and more!

What comes up in this series is that there was a migration out of Africa 150,000 to 200,000 years ago which did genetic input to the Neanderthals then another migration out of Africa, maybe as recently as less than 60,000 years ago, which in turn received a genetic input from the Neanderthals.

19:09 Faustkeile & Speerspitzen (Warum keine Funde in tropisch Afrika?) Steine erhalten sich ja, waren die echt so rückständig? oder mochten die lieber Holz??

I thought “ modern human” meant they knew how to use a toaster.

Perhaps consider posting the talks in separate videos.

It is treasure that we can so easily be apprised of these fascinating topics. Generations before, like Thomas Jefferson, had to dig everything from musty volumes or random artifacts. My question is that Irhoud 1 looks so much like a Neanderthal what with the heavy brow ridge you could park a Vespa upon, and the rear sloping forehead. The PCA model is a stroke of brilliance, but Irhoud 1 still looks Neanderthal, all day long.

The garden of East African eden is really a temporal context that is valid back to about 220 ky. Before that it is difficult to predict where humans were.

Thank you, We are, ultimately, one.

I wish I was smart enough to absorb all this.

Why is the homo erectus genome not yet sequenced? The species was around for almost 2M years. We have many specimens.

wow

interesting. and evolving.....

27:06 Jurassic Park...

I have a question, How do geneticist know the identical dna, the 98% of neanderthal dna which is identical to modern humans, that identical dna didn't come from neanderthals? Does this question make sense? The 2% that is attributes to neanderthals is unique to neanderthals, what about the identical dna, how do they know that didn't originate in neanderthals !

Nine infantile Creationists disliked this video.

So, where is dmanisi, luzonensis, and denisovans on that chart? And, for heavens sake, can we get past trying to associated intelligence with brain size?

All of this just to evolve into a species of twerkers.

Only one species now - fortunately....this amuses me very much.

Lactase persistence became more prevalent in Indus Valley much later than elsewhere in the world, according to presenter. I also see that it coincides with entry of indo european migrants and later the adoption of vegetarianism (no meat but dairy) in the area.

16:51 he did not say "in the asian group" but "in eurasian group".

💚🏜️ agricultural would never have taken off if we didn't first develop the ability to eat grains...

It look like we were a labrotorium experiment which to all odds survive?

R U walking in a winter wonder land?¿

from my simplistic training... we are no different then any other aging ecosystem/species. typified by fewer and fewer species in greater numbers. subject to catastrophic collapse due to the less diversified nature of our existence. odd how we think about ourselves.

What expands our world isnt progress but childrens wonderment and love for life

Monkeys is the KRAAAAAZIEST Peoples !¡!¡! 🐒 🦍 🦧

Europe? So we started as popsicles????

OK which other hominids have 23 chromosomes?

Wouldn't (male??) height be influenced by social/sexual selection? Especially perhaps as societies grew more complex/hierarchical?

According to Adam Genetics at least three sure. CARTA left off ?

It's funny, interesting and maybe for someone less flattering I do not know, - - - I think it's really great. The real the pure Homo Sapiens are the majority of and the most beautiful colored on the planet, - the people inside Africa for the majority right up to today. All the rest of us with an ancestry outside of Africa are mixed - generally based on hybrids based on Homo sapiens from Africa some mixed with Neanderthals others mixed with Denisovans others again a mix of all three types of people. Certainly not all Europeans think this is fun, I think it's absolutely fun and amazing. Probably all of us in the dawn of time are descended from Africa, but that's a different story.

I've met 10's of thousands of misery monkeys. I can count the fraction of those I consider actually being "modern humans" on my digits

You keep saying species for some reason. You mean subspecies/breed/race.

This panel disparately needed contributions from Ancestors Rank Rashidi and Dr. Francis Cress Welding. Or today's contemporary scholars such as Dr. James Smalls and Professor Hiawtha Kamene.

With the advent of modern DNA testing and the large sampling’s that have come from Western Europeans, scientists can state as fact that modern Europeans are descended from Africans and in particular East Africans. Also that of all those that left only a few survived resulting in the lower genetic variance found in EurAsia.

explain chins

Soon they will find they are wrong again. We were around before this.

So, are we sayng that Adam and Eve, our parents, were originally from Africa.

These guys can't get their story straight and just keep making themselves look bad with these nonsensical models. All hominids originated in Africa. AMH are simply one of many hominid species that inhabited Africa going back a million years. Denisovan and Neanderthal are both from African hominids. So AMH have been in Africa along with other archaic species since before leaving Africa. Meaning diversity among hominids did not start in Eurasia and diversity among early AMH populations did not start in Eurasia either. The fundamental problem is that most of these "species" of hominids are based on skull fragments and nobody can clearly define the family tree of these hominids. There are multiple models of the family tree for Neanderthals and Denisovans have not been put into that tree yet. The only hard data we have is the DNA that shows 99.9% of human DNA comes from Africa and that most of the hominid family tree and diversity of hominids is found in Africa. Everything else is just wild rampant speculation and conjecture based on very limited data. At worst, it is trying to use "archaic" hominids to reformulate old racial models of the early 20th century, at best it is just misleading models based on limited and fragmentary data that will constantly change as new data is found. Both basically downplaying the ultimate African origin for human evolutionary diversity around the world. The first guy confirmed that but then the second guy comes on and totally contradicts the first guy. Simple story: All modern humans descend from the diversity in the human species that migrated out of Africa. Period. If what they were saying was true then the modern populations representing the earliest migrants out of Africa like Andamanese Islanders and Australian Aborigines would have the highest amounts of Neanderthal mixture, but they dont. Keep in mind that at one time these populations were considered "archaic" humans.

Very funny . Thats why whe need you . And the rest of the story will take you 1000 years to be told .

Shared understanding of the past...lololol not anymore

what about the offspring of the fallen angels ?

Is it possible the Neanderthal genes didn’t migrate back into Africa but originated there?

WITH THE MENTALITY OF SHEEP AND ATTENTION SPANS OF GOLDFISH Humans are regressing

One present day hominem? You are a liar.

Ice age come, ice age go. People migrate accordingly. The third speaker seems surprised that people breed with other people that are close, and not with people 2,000 miles away. LOL. And then later seems surprised that with the development of agriculture, people farmed the things that they could digest! @48:21(Salivary amylase ......pre dates agriculture). Maybe he thinks that people should have farmed these things, and then adapted their metabolism. What a maroon.

Where are fossils of the Missing Link? How do the giant skeletons and beings with elongated skulls fit into our history? Where do the hairy hominids (Sasquatch, Yeti, Agogwe, Alma’s etc) that still roam the planet fit? More questions than answers.

Bible .. nuff said! lol

Everybody knows that HUMANS were created by an invisible sky monster using magic and mud in the Garden of Eden.

8th grade level?

I think it would be easier to learn French and listen to him in that language than to understand his English....

Viva la Lucy! OMG not again. What short memory we have... thanks to evolution, of course. No thanks.

Wait. I thought humans evolved from a rock? You have a rock, some hocus pocus and, after billions of years, we magically end up with evolutions greatest accomplishment to date: Richard Dawkins. Uh... no! Cheque please.

Thank u for the fruitful lectures. H, N and D are all human being from Adam and Eve. Human have the faculty of thinking while the other do not. Can science identify the genome or whatever for thinking abilty?

you confuse us when you talk about africa, you say that africans do not have neanderthal dna, yet north africans do, so when you talk about africa specify and say sub saharan africa. what i notice you systematically exclude or zap north africa and you include all of africa in the same basket, whereas north africa has always been Caucasian. why are you ignoring north africa? it poses a problem for you to support your conclusions. Given the phenotype of North Africans that you include in the Caucasian branch, you cannot associate it with sub-Saharan Africa. so include it in your diagrams in europe or the mediterranean world and stop misleading us. because you speak of every people and region of the earth except north africa which is nevertheless Caucasian. you scientists, What is your problem with north africa?

Well again the first people were Adam and Eve and we have devolved since

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is the pale man’s story.We never ever came out of Africa.We were in the america while these people were being created

No such thing as evolution.
