Humans vs Superhumans | When Monsters Were Real and We Almost Went Extinct
Humans are the apex predator. Not an apex predator. The apex predator. Other than a handful of bacteria and viruses, there’s pretty much nothing stronger, more intelligent, or more adaptable than Homo sapiens.
Telling the human story from the beginning is difficult.
It was a time when two words defined our world: fear and violence. It was a time when we were not the apex predator; we were their prey.
We emerged from our caves during the day. Hoping we wouldn’t be hunted by the monsters in the woods.
So vicious were these monsters they still live in our myths -- and our nightmares. They created a generational trauma embedded into our DNA over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.
These creatures were stronger, faster, and (when it came to combat) more intelligent than we were. It’s a miracle any of us are even here.
This is the story of how modern humans conquered the monsters and won the battle for the world.
But here's the thing: those fearsome monsters defeated by humans? Were other humans.

Your gift of story telling is second to none. I forgot that I was watching the why files as you were telling the sub story of “imagine you’re a child in a village”. Damn good stuff.

@shushannahrodgers6040 4 месяца назад

What you’re calling Neanderthals are/were actually called Nephilim. They’re mentioned in Genesis 6: 1-4 and the full story is told in the book of Enoch. 200 Watchers came down to earth and mated with human (homo sapiens) women. Their children became giants and are still around today in the form of Bigfoot (Sasquatch, Yeti, etc). Dr. Melba Ketchum did their DNA analysis and put it up on her website. It’s exactly what you’d expect: their mitochondrial DNA (the female line) is 100% Homo sapiens (human), while the male line is unknown.

as an indonesian myself i've heard about myth from my ancestor where ancient humans in indonesia used to fight man-eater humanoid creature that pretty similar to us but bigger and stronger. they had fangs and eyes like beast and covered in fur. to this day you can find depiction of their faces in javanese or balinese wooden mask used mostly in their dance ceremony. and that's so similar to neanderthals you're describing in this video. i've heard of javanese mythology from my grandparents and my mom is an art teacher in middle school so they naturally know best about how their ancestor literally living with "neanderthals" that known as other names in javanese language like Buto Cakil or Rakshasha (you can even google that names) edit : having non indonesian foreigner explains neanderthals known as buto cakil or rakshasha in our culture is wild man. firstly i thought they're not exist but people found their fossils.

This give extra credibility to Rama's bridge. He used an army of monkey men or men of the forest to build a bridge to attack the demon king of Lanka. Modern day sri Lanka. On the opposite end, the supposed demon king is sri Lanka's greatest king.

@atmaj4907 21 день назад

Rákshasa's were also in India and surroundings. They were extremely strong, and harassing humans (Homo sapiens). There was a powerful Rákshasa kingdom in Sri Lanka, destroyed in a big war by a monkey army (Homo erectus?) under the leadership of a divine Shri Ráma and his brother (Homo sapiens).

To note a few things. Neanderthals were not carnivores and, outside of the steppe population group, had a very balanced diet. While there are a few remains of Neanderthals that could be interpreted as cannibalistic the rarity of such finds, along with how unskilled they were at dismembering humans compared to other animals makes it unlikely that this was standard. There isn't any, as far as I'm aware, direct evidence of conflict between them and any other human species so I'm not sure where the claim that they actively hunted humans comes from. They also did make clothes and weave textiles.

Chickasaw and Choctaw creation stories say we came from the ground (caves). They also have stories of the Lofa (hairy giant of the woods) and Iyaganasha (little people). The Lofa would chase game away and steal women. Your video fits very much in line with some extremely old oral traditions of North American indigenous peoples.

First, great video! I’m a microbiologist, so this stuff is fascinating to me, and why I got a degree in this. A massively mutated chromosome #2 is what differentiates us from other primates. We have two chromosomes that fused and deactivated one centromere. Hence, we have 23 pairs and other primates have 24. For us to breed with Neanderthals means they had the same freak mutation. This implies divergent evolution from a common hominid ancestor, and that, while almost separate species, we were not quite separated. These timelines are, of course, a massive source of controversy. For example, we currently believe the Aborigines inhabited Australia 60,000 years ago and cut themselves off of the genetic exchange of Africa, Europe, and Asia. We have evidence that indicates native Americans displaced another race of humans that occupied the Americas no later than 35,000 years ago. I’ve also read several studies that indicated pre-agricultural early modern humans were far stronger than modern humans. It makes sense. Think. Let’s say Andre the giant and Danny devito are both farmers. There’s a lean harvest one fall. Who survives to the next growing season? I could go on and on. Again, great video.
