@Gengar Phantom yea she's great

its really interesting

Do not forget one of the most useful tools: ropes. Unfortunately, the very nature of ropes (probably vegetable fibers and maybe sinew) prevents their preservation across millions of years. But I'm pretty sure they were used by pre-humans, otherwise our human children wouldn't be able to learn to lace their shoes so easily. I still expect some fossil record of rope imprints in fossil ground will someday show up.

Stanley Kubrick seems to have speculated about that at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

@@nietzschesghost8529 Yes.

I agree with u, this was a great and interesting doc, well worth a thumb up.

humanity is great, we are a god ...

Another fascinating informative documentary which traces evolution from the first single cell to mankind today is: Mankind Rising . Where do Humans come from. by naked Science

well im not to sure how they got the dates

agreed. I have formal training in anatomy and learned quite a lot from this excellent vid.

Millions of years ago monkeys existed and still exist. If human is evolved from monkeys where r the intermediate apes now. Dear these r just theories supported by incomplete evidences.

@@MuhammadAsif-blue Misunderstandings all around so let me set you straight. 1. Humans evolved from apes and still are apes. 2. Other primates still exist today because they fill a niche in an environment. 3. Progression through evolution occurs through trial and error, not linearly. Causing species to *branch* out from one another. 4. Intermediate species between Humans and our last common ancestor with the Genus Pan died out from error.

That is why we must keep religion out of common education . Religion is wholly incompatible with reaon and reality .

Think of it this way: Let's say your great-grandfather was a farmer. He had two kids, one of whom stayed on the farm, and the other moved to the city and became a factory worker. Fast forward to the present, you're working in the factory like your grandparents, and your second cousin still works the old farm. But your mutual great-grandfather is long dead.

Muhammad Asif You have absolutely no clue. Your inability to understand evolution is not evidence against it.

@@sunworship5080 We are here through a random process. If we are "garbage" it is because we ARE "garbage" through evolution. "Good and evil" go hand in hand.

@ Fausto Fernandez... But if he could get out of the Bible Belt long enough to find one, how would he get it into a cinder block head?

@@chazzlucas6395 How is it false, bible boy.

I totally agree with you. Bipedality must have originated first when our ancient ancestors were still forest dwellers, I still thinking about what the advantages would have been, maybe you can give me your thoughts on that.

I don't know how easy they are to find, but if you're wondering how they get to the surface, the answer is weathering.

Paul Millbank While weathering plays a roll, uplift plays a bigger part. Older layers of strata are brought to the surface in anticlines cause by compressional forces exerted onto them.

People have been looking for 100 years. Defo not easy.

Thanks for watching!

And I have heard recent lectures that maintain that chimps are tool users, and even that the common ancestor from which our line and chimps both descended used stone tools. Of course we know that crows, and monkeys use stones as tools. Maybe the real distinction is in crafting tools rather than using found stones, or simply breaking bigger stones into smaller ones.

please, not this again. crows use tool ffs. the point is no other species uses tools to the extent that humans do.

@@bobaldo2339 Actually, chimps MAKE tools: they strip the leaves from small branches so they can probe termite holes to bring termites out that then they eat

Adrian Dane Kenny bigger skull

I may be mistaken but I believe it is based on the size of the brain in relation to the size of the body. An elephant has aa much bigger brain overall but in comparison to the size of their body this isn't so. It takes more brain matter to be used to make a bigger body simply function (as opposed to being used for higher thinking) to live [heart beat, breathe, etc.] than it does for a smaller body. So the bigger the brain in relation to body size, the more of that brain can be put to other uses such as higher cognitive thinking other than functions necessary for just survival only. I'm no expert on the matter but I believe this is at least part of the answer.

You do know Lucy was a fraudulent claim, he lied to keep his funding going

Yes, this is the nature of science. Things change as we find new facts and information. As Please Complete All Fields asked: would it be better if nothing changed? Like how religion works? That way we could still be walking or riding mules, know nothing of disease, have no electricity or clean water...in short have absolutely zero idea about anything that's going on at all. We could cure extremely contagious diseases the way they do deep in the jungles of 3rd world Africa: by "bleeding the witches out" thereby spreading more hepatitis to everyone in the vicinity. That'd be great huh?

@Please Complete All Fields New evidence is found? And its not religion or science , its the truth I am looking for. So, whenever, some "new evidence" comes along you just except, huh. Well I am sorry, but too many lies have been told

@@American-Plague The nature of science? Well it depends on whose telling it and their reason. Too many lies have been told, but I should believe the latest that's been told. You go right ahead and believe.

Mathew Thomas they have no idea all they can do is guess and have faith which is ironic.

goognam goognws what the hell are you talking about. Of course we evolved from apes, specifically chimpanzee. We evolved and became bipedal and with that other characteristic. We are not a sub category we are a new category, bipedal primates.

Chromosome 2 is a fused chromosome which could point to the transition when and how this happened is a question I would like to ask.

ACTUALLY, there was 7 million years of hominid evolution, a very diverse species of dozens of subspecies, suddenly and abruptly Homo Sapiens appear 100-200 thousand years ago and within a few thousand years 7 million years of evolution go extinct. Homo Sapiens emigrated within a 50,000 year time frame and dominated. All living humans are Homo Sapiens. Not only did they extinct all known hominids but they bypass Old World and move to North America and Australia. A new species that appears spontaneously and immediately dominated and expanded beyond what was thought possible. Dozens of known hominid species that developed independently went extinct apon the arrival of Homo Sapiens. Current DNA shows that there is no known interbreeding but that is contested, it was previously thought 1-4% of European DNA had Neandertal origins but since that early analysis it is believed that infact they were different species that share no ancestry. Hominids at the height of evolution had huts and spears/stone tools and unlike their ancestors had rudimentary vocal abilities. Once Homo Sapiens appeared new development of complex language, written language, bronze, iron age, and civilization presented within a few thousand years.

WE are humans, you are an ape...

@@CoolGuy15777 The correct word that you are trying to look for, is Hominin. And not Hominid.

I don't think they do know. Its kinda hard to tell when hair disappeared, since its not in the fossils. The only real evidence for when hair dissapeared(that I have found) is from genetic testing of lice. But, it is also reasonable to assume that we lost our hair when we started wearing cloths, and that we started wearing cloths around the same time we started using tools.

We are one of the very few animals that has evolved beyond the need for fur, due to our ability to make clothing.

they way ancient humans hunted was chasing down prey to exhaustion, known as persistence hunting. A hairy creature can not keep itself cool long enough to do this, so we know that when there is evidence of humans hunting regularly, then they must be hairless, or at least significantly less hairy than ancient ape ancestors

@@jesustheillusionist6484 We started making clothing out of necessity. The cold snaps of the Ice Age must have been intolerable to the relatively hairless human body. It shouldn't take any great leap of the imagination to realize that some of the brighter Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon individuals hit upon the idea of covering their bodies with cured animal hides as protection from the cold.

@Dan C. Agreed. Through the vast history of mankind, only the strongest and smartest survived to reproduce. Now, the weak and lower IQ people are reproducing at a much greater rate. Our future is questionable.

The big brow ridge makes him look a bit Neanderthal.

Paul Zoksly, yea, right?! Crazy when you think about it. Chopped 'em down to build homes and fires, too. Evolution is the zaniest thing. I wish I had a 'future' 8 ball and could see how the world will look, 1,000, 2,000, ...1,000,000, 2,000,000 ... years from now!!

Many seem to think so, but other hypotheses seem to point to a more South-African origin for our species.

What's so 'spiritual' about logic and speech?

Whales have relatively smaller brains, Kangaroos walk on 4 legs and hope on 2, and Crows use tools, they do not make tools. Apes today have elaborate speech, they are still apes. The biological transition leads to the spiritual transition, if you wish.

No....the transition is physical...at first anyway. You named 3 species which each have one of these traits...not another species which has all 3 of these traits at once. Also "big brains" doesn't necessarily mean overall size period. In this case, I'm pretty sure "big brains" means brain:body size ratio...which would show that humans by far have "bigger" brains than whales.

@@halwag What is so spiritual about speech and logic is that they are both used to avoid violence one reason I can think off. Thus they are used for a higher cause.

@@craigslattery1901 Whales indeed have RELATIVELY smaller brains but still a hundred times bigger if you put them next to human brains. Humans crowl on 4 legs hope on 2 and hang from their hands. Kangaroos walk on 4 legs and hope on 2 indeed but they can also box with their hands. Apes have elaborate speech and dolphins even more elaborate. What I'm trying to say is that "reasoning" divides humans from animals. Now reasoning seems to coinside with humans' highest biological level but that doesn't prove that it was derived from evolving.

Ha! You want one to come to lunch?

Take a look in the mirror.

The problem is this..if humans already existed..then why are there zero fossils of humans existing anytime before these other transitional species..?? Why are there none found during the time they lived?? Because more modern homosapein did not exist yet. They had not evolved yet and transitioned into what modern humans would eventually become.

A lot more step by step cause and effect

@rent a shill r/woooosh

That was a good laugh

Depends on what you mean by _Australopithecus_ as that's an entire genus. In the video, I'm fairly certain they were referring to _Australopithecus afarensis_ which at the present moment no tools have been found on their part, however, the oldest Oldowan tools are dated at 3.3 million years old, and have been shown to have belonged to _Australopithecus africanus_ which some palaeoanthropologists believe to be the same species as _Homo habilis_ also known as the 'Handy Man'. However, _Australopithecus africanus_ started making tools around the time that _Australopithecus afarensis_ was still around, as they seem to overlap between the 3.3mya and 2.95mya mark.

In some parts of Africa you can become food.

Try watching the video.

There are no missing links...lol That terminology and ideologicalisms is born of creationism lack of thinking. We have all sorts of transitional species .. you yourself are part of the transitional species of human kind from what was..to what is now and what will one day be in the future. We are all transitional examples..all and each form ever to live in the process of evolution are one of these examples. You do not see a missing link because there is no sudden ..alakazam magic moment where things just suddenly were different and a new species started Every leniag, every generation is a slow gradual change of a species. They can take many changes and paths..some work out..some do not..some traits stay wether good or bad..others do not. The missing link was just a apologists was if misdirection from the facts of reality and historicity of evolution. It does not actually exist. My memory is not as great in this exact area but if I recall correctly we have something like 13 or 15 or more different transitional species we know existed so far of the evolution to more modern homosapein. If you want a "missing link" ..these would be part of that process if it was actually something called that. But really "missing link " is and was just the religious apologists of creationism way to try to cause confusion and mislabel and be dishonest about their position of seeing historicity and facts of sciences and the evolution of humans as provided.
