@@billybob-ro6qf you think that Ethiopia, a country that can barely feed its population, is going to spend so much money to create a fake fossil?

@@billybob-ro6qf do have any evidence of these giant fossils?

@@Userrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.r as an Ethiopian no but i don't think we are that advanced to know life and death of something that died millions of years ago 😁

@@billybob-ro6qf yo wtf bro are you ok like mentally do you need therapy

@@Lepua2009 we don't know their life and death, this is mostly speculation but I'm pretty sure that Lucy isn't an artificial fossil that is the product of Satan

If we were "typical", our eyes would be farther apart. We do have varying degrees of peripheral vision, at best 180°. I'm not saying life wasn't perilous, but eyes forward served us better, for whatever reason. What's the deal with "wisdom teeth"? THAT'S bugged me since I was a teenager. Time is running out!

@@ruthanneseven we are evolving out of wisdom teeth.. Kids are now being born without them , small numbers, but eventually no human will have them

@@airgunningyup Hi Rob! Where did you discover this tidbit?

@@ruthanneseven well animals can still be prey no matter what they look like even if we hunted we were still prey everything is prey in all actuality even apex predators are prey to something cause if they weren't ever prey they most likely could have caused mass extinctions!

@@airgunningyup Thats just not true its highly unlikely a day will ever come where no human is born without wisdom teeth since theres no selective pressures that make the genes of people with wisdom teeth less desirable to mate with

MR BEAST?

Mr breast

But what if this is not the name she had while she was alive? I believe that they were smart enough to have a name but we will never know it.

​@@chyennewhisman7166 I mean yes, obviously. But that doesn't change anything. We are still talking about her. Her name doesn't really matter

I love that sentiment. There's that saying that we die two deaths, first is our own death and the next is the death of the last person who remembers us. Lucy, in essence, has been resurrected then, but as something different, because none of us really knew her, we can only imagine some version of who she was. Also, it's a minkr thing, but she wasn't really "human" or even homo genus, she was hominin 😁

We are indeed deeply emotive beings! Other animals show similar inclinations. Take elephants that mourn the loss of their family members, visiting their remains decades later. Truly amazing!

@@consciousobserver629 It really is amazing, and what's more is that it's finally getting recognition. Recently in the UK - 'Lobsters, octopuses and crabs recognised as sentient beings in UK Law. The UK government has declared that lobsters, crabs, octopuses and related species will be included under the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill.' For so long human exceptionalism has been the default, even though many of us knew differently.

Are u saying I’m a monkey..??

@@Yankeez001 No, you said that...

So we'll said.

LOL

Or a mudslide. Pretty sure fossilisation has a lot to do with luck, mostly of the condition of the land thousands of years after the animal dies. but I don't know much to be fair 🤷‍♂️

The body must be coved quickly after death for it to become fossilized. It must be free of air. Other wise microbes will eat any bone and soft tissue. Covered in dirt will not do. Air free places like clay and some times water like a peat bog or ice to name a couple. Very special conditions must be met for bone to be fossilized and endure for millions of years.

@@trybunt Yeah I remember a scientist saying only a small fraction of a percent will become fossils. The conditions have to be perfect for it to happen. Also acidic soils will dissolve the bones. Its no coincidence that most fossils are found in desert environments.

I found what appears to be a finger bone remnants of a scapula and an unidentified piece of really damage bone in a desert. They were right on top of the sand. They may not be from the same person either. I love collecting rocks, and these pieces caught my attention. The finger bone was old yet obvious, as was the partial scapula which seems a lot older. I would love to get 2nd opinions on all of them. The sand shifts often with the wind. I imagine that's how they were uncovered. The scapula is the most interesting piece. It's seems fossilized based in hardness and texture. That ridge is unmistakable though. I don't know where I could get help with further identification. Anyone have ideas? I also found a square black piece of stonework with traces if a knob in ine end, and faint, simplistic scrawling on one side. Found on the shore of a fastwater stream, near a river, what first hit my mind was that it was a part of a printing set that was interchangeable (knob). I'd love to have someone identify what it is. Black square rocks aren't found in nature! My last treasure is a stone tool. It's obviously been flaked. It might have made a good scraper. I love finding random treasures, but I'm getting too old. Time to find out what they are!

Even if 90% of humans were suddenly killed by war or disease or an asteroid impact, the human lineage would still survive quite well.

@@mdastolfo70 maybe the buffalo museum of science because I've seen this name in a comment a bit under this one

forensics expert Carl N Stephan, "the face of earlier human ancestors cannot be objectively constructed or tested" "any facial reconstrutions of earlier hominids are likely to be misleading." no way to take a finger or jawbone of a 2-400,000year old, an say this is how it looked, and this is the skin color, hair looked and color, and eye color.

I too worked at a Museum with a copy of Lucy, in a diarama. She was smaller than I imagined.

It truly is fascinating, isn't it? There are so many things to learn about the various hominid species which come before us. The evolution of emotions, already present in our relatives, the chimpanzees is extremely interesting.

No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

In chimpanzees it's actually women who produce more tools than men and children typically gain that ability from their mothers. So it's not far fetched at all to think its ancient women producing these tools.

@@insanelyinsensitive4059 But are there any theories that have both genetic and archeological evidence to back them up? Because out of Africa does!

Yeah same.

Interesting point, but why do you assume women are not hunters? I have spent quite a bit of time around modern hunter-gatherers living their ancient lifestyle, and women are generally equally involved in hunting as males, in my experience. Also, in every omnivorous/carnivorous species I can think of, females are hunting and are often more effective than their male counterparts (for example in a pride of lions). Your comment implies males are the leaders and the ones doing the hunting, but in my experience, women/female animals not only do the majority of child raising, but do hard and dangerous work like males, AND are also often taking on the leadership role, at least on a family level. This is true even in western society: women are expected to maintain a career, carry and birth multiple children, do the majority of child rearing, cook, clean, and often maintain the household’s finances. Pre history is definitely not my area of expertise, so this is just my opinion. But is there actual evidence of men being the hunters? I know people often assume this simply because men are seen as fitter than women, but modern hunter-gather women are extremely fit, not too different to males. If you have any link about this I’d love that, thanks!

@@bel4417 Big game hunting is usually associated with men. In modern hunter gatherer societies this type of hunting is mostly done by men & the fossil record seems to show in the past it was mainly a male occupation. That is not to say that women didn't hunt or provide food for the family/tribe--they most certainly did. They gathered & cultivated plants (agriculture was probably started by women) trapped small game & possibly fished. I've heard it suggested that foraging/gathering actually made up the majority of a paleo diet vs hunting. Much of evolutionary theory about human development/social behaviors seems to have been based around the skills required to hunt & my comment was directed at that. I was pleased to see other physiological reasons given for why more human social bonding may have taken place, ie difficult childbirth. This imo, gave a different perspective to the changes that early hominids made on their way to becoming homo sapiens. One that is often overlooked in favor of cranial measurements & tool use.

@@yensid4294 could you tell me what modern hunter gatherer societies you are referring to? I have spent extensive time amongst hunter gatherers (indigenous people) in Australia, Africa and Island Nations as well as a little time in the Americas, and have rarely found this to be the case, this is why I am asking. This is also the case in my culture. Yes, you are right that gathering makes up a large portion of these diets, but hunting is also important and done by women. Generally, all physically able members of the community are involved in this large game hunting, because there is safety and strength in numbers, or in some cases, it is done by a certain group as part of a sacred ritual (although again, in my experience, small game makes up the majority of meat being eaten). I have even taken part of woman only ‘ritual’ hunting, both small and large game. Again, if you have some resources about this, I would really be interested in it, but it seems there is very little actual research done into this, and that it’s just an assumption. And I’m not trying to discredit the importance of child birth - after all it the most crucial part of our society, and a burden that only women have had forced upon them, whilst males escape unscathed. I’m simply saying that women’s roles should not be downplayed in other areas, especially considering it is often women who are doing the largest share of that work

@@bel4417 I will defer to your expertise since my knowledge of hunter gatherer societies is very, very broad & my main interest is in paleoanthropology. I was always given examples of men leaving to go on a hunt & then everyone participating in butchering/preserving the meat & following the migrating herds. But it kind of depends on what time period & geographic location specifically. I'm most familiar with Western Europe. I agree, having children is not the epitome of women's contribution to society, that's why I never had any. Btw, newer evidence & re-examined evidence (fossil remains) are showing that paleolithic women probably did hunt. They had bone density & injuries similar to javelin throwers indicating they were throwing spears too :) There was a recent PBS Secrets Of the Dead special about it that I think you would enjoy called Lady Sapiens. ( I think the examples we were given of hunter gatherer societies don't really fit since technically they are pasturalists & only semi-nomadic & very de pendant on cattle, goats, etc with hunting as more of a cultural ritual & supplemental source of food so I decided not to mention them. I think you're right & it makes sense. 👍)

@@skippy9214 and those fossils don’t show no signs of evolution

@@Bajannubian095 well, each individual fossil can’t. That’s not how it works. But, let’s say you have a series of fossils. Each has a slight alteration from the previous in the series. Your starting and ending fossils look very different, but in the context of the ones in between, you can clearly see how one morphed into the other. That is a simplified form of what we see. Granted, the fossil record is never that easy. There will be branches, homologies, and incomplete chains. But there’s enough of these chains, and some are complete enough for us to clearly see that there is a linear descent. And fossils are not the main form of evidence. They’re the most well known and the easiest to see, but genetics is probably the most secure.

Carbon dating, u can find the age of anything using half life

That's because Darwinian evolution IS 99% imagination. To date, no intermediate forms have been verified, only fossilized non-human primates. Darwinism predicts that there should be intermediate stages in the evolution of life between the ancestral form of an organism and its presumed descendent. For this reason, Harvard paleontologist, the late Stephen J. Gould, wrote: "The history of most fossil species includes two features particularly inconsistent with gradualism: 1. Stasis. Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological change is usually limited and directionless. 2. Sudden appearance. In any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and `fully formed.’ " But let Charles Darwin say it himself: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ exists which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. If numerous species, belonging to the same genera or families, have really started into life at once, the fact would be fatal to the theory of evolution through natural selection.” Fossils do reveal some truth about Darwin’s theory-they reveal that the same inconsistencies he noted between his theory and the fossil data persist, even after over 150 years of frantic searches for elusive transitions. Not only is there no single, undisputed transition, but real fossils reveal that animals were fully formed from the beginning. But of course, evolutionists don't wish to be confused by the facts. 🦖

@@rayanrahmoune1064 Religious people are going to reject any evidence that doesn't match their beliefs. Science doesn't care about "faith", or old books, it looks for the truth. Even if there were no fossils, DNA evidence alone proves human evolution is true.

​@@richardstephens5570 Let me clarify some points for you: Read it all and tell me about it, we could change beliefs don't worry about that. I believe in God, and I'm sure the revelation we recieved from doesn't contradict his creation, how could god not know his creation, so what we should do is understanding his creation, finding the laws. When I started looking in the topic of Evolution I had so many contradictions in mind that definetly disproves it, One: why aren't there mixed creatures, half ape and half human, since evolution doesn't occur in a small amount of time, definetly those apes will do sex with each other and the genes will be mixed right? then why do we have pure apes and pure humans, you may say some ppl look like apes, I say others look like cats, cows, pigs, and this is not a scientific way. Two: We all know that there is a food chain when it comes to nature, when a species extincs, we will have major problems, so if every species is evolving the way it suits it, or random mutations, will the food change be stable, no, and the proof of this is that there are so many campaings and organizations that do their best to protect endagered species. I believe I just proved that evolution is unreal using logic and some science, but let's do more. When I made some research I found that If you truly Believe in evolution (I consider it as a belief because it's not scientifically proven) you will end up being contradicting science. A friend of mine believes in it and started giving me examples of its evidences, which made me say I need to go to science to strengthen my points which he wasn't able to disprove. After searching I found that there were some skull that existed millions of years before which look identical to ours, during all this time we couldn't evolve, why?. Furthemore, I found that so many scietists made lies in their researches, that appeared to be wrong 20 or 15 years after by other scientists, like saying we found a human tooth, but in reality it's a pig's tooth, we found bones of lucy but in reality they were spread in a moutain and we are not sure they are from the same body, lies in embriology and so much more. My explanation for this is that some ppl want some money and they bring such jokes, make books and movies and stories which are unreal, stupid. Normal ppl like you and me watch and buy resulting in good profits. If you are truly seeking truth I hope you watch the videos of this man, they are not in english but you could read the subtitles. Episode 53 I guess is the best so far when it comes to evolution you could watch when he prepares the subtitlesl Dr Eyad El Qunaibi Global Channel the journey of certainty. If you want to contact me on instagram: rayan __ rahmoune no spaces and that is a double underscore. My profile pic is a candle in dark area

What's your idea about my channel ? ru-vid.com/show-UC-ZHNksu7UlZ2hiLIvyEw2Q

Bipedal are slow. Quad peds are much faster. And biped makes you more visible. You want to be low to the ground. There is no advantage in the animal kingdom to biped. It was not the next to step evolution. Just libre earle balloon knee. As usual.

@@cowsmuggler1646 being bipedal allows for more specialized hands. Huge advantage in using tools, which, when you think about it, is pretty much the one thing that hominids do much better than any other animal. There are no steps in evolution, it's just a gradual process. Another advantage could be scaring off predators by making yourself look bigger and waving your arms around.

@@isaacbruner65 The supposed early bipeds did not have large brains. They were bipeds without the brains. And that is a disadvantage in the jungle. Being slow is not good. Plus apes live socially. they are not solitary. So you need a whole mutated tribe of apes and not just one mutated one. Which is impossible. There is no evolution. What you forget, you need a male and female to mutate simultaneously. At minimum. And for social creatures like apes, you need a whole group mutated.

@@cowsmuggler1646 bipedal human ancestors lived in grasslands, not jungles. Clearly bipedalism had some advantages, or they wouldn't have evolved that way. I'm not an anthropologist but you should ask one and they'll explain how. Some explanations I've heard include that it improved field of vision, and therefore predator avoidance (it's easier to see over the tall grass when walking upright). Another is that bipedalism assisted in thermoregulation. Finally, as I already stated, it could be related to tool use. Earlier ape ancestors would have already been capable of using simple tools, hominids may have come to rely even more on tools for defense and hunting, as the relative scarcity of food would require weapons for hunting and tools for digging, and the lack of hiding places from predators on the savannah would require weapons for defense. By the way your understanding of evolution is flawed, it never occurs in just a single individual, it always occurs in a population. Beneficial genes spread through a population over many generations. The same mutations can (and do) appear multiple times. All populations have genetic variation, that's where the basis for evolution comes from. Not all humans are the same height, or hair color, or skin color, or have the same muscle density. These are just phenotypic variations, the genotypic variations that you can't see are even greater. If it turned out that being taller was a huge advantage, it wouldn't take long for average height to increase dramatically as only tall people would survive long enough to reproduce. That's evolution. Given enough time, the whole population will have that trait.
