Welcome to the team, Olivia! Not that I don't love Hank and Michael, but it's great to see a fresh face on the channel!

@Waltham1892 8 лет назад

If you find any rings near the remains... BRING THE PRECIOUS TO ME!

@hussainattai4638 8 лет назад

+accorden What ring? What nose? I don't see it!

@horseenthusiast1250 8 лет назад

Also, make sure and check the corpse for mithril.

@gfox00029 8 лет назад

its a low drop rate, but you need to check every corpse.

I feel like more shows should introduce new hosts like this. I hate it when you turn on a video and it's suddenly someone you never saw. I approve of this. Can't wait to see her videos!

Clear proof of wizards. Wizards shrunk our ancestors, and thousands of years later the curse was broken. Possibly by another wizard.

That title is a double oxymoron.

@TheTorseHumtunja 8 лет назад

Huh, interesting!

@whatshisnamegain1 8 лет назад

I understand that "new ancient" is one, but why is Human fossil an oxymoron?

@tri-slosher 8 лет назад

What's Their Name Again? "Fossil" can also mean "a stubbornly unchanging person or thing", while "human" can be used to describe a positive quality that humans possess - in this case, our ability to change.

@ablationer 8 лет назад

It wouldn't be that hard to believe I think. Aren't people nearly a foot taller on average now than they were during the bronze age or so?

@bingusmcscringus2012 8 лет назад

That is true, but it is mainly because of better nutrition allowing us to grow taller nowadays.

@MikhaelAhava 8 лет назад

So evolution is already taking place? I mean like in the next thousands of years, tens if thousands perhaps or even hundreds, we'll have a new species and that cause it takes absolute ages for organisms to evolve, it is slowly happening now?

@BullStengthTheories 8 лет назад

it's always happening, no matter what. To every species on earth, it's just too slow to witness in a human life space, (other than the evolution of the very small like bacterium and viruses, which we can witness the evolution of in very short amounts of time).

@221b-l3t 8 лет назад

Actually evolution has been observed within about 3 decades in the famous galapagos finches, that darwin originally wrote about. There where droughts, the usual diet became rare and their beaks changed within decades to better suit more plentiful sources of food. In bacteria and viruses it can be observed within days sometimes.

@Joey_ott 8 лет назад

that isnt evolution, thats just because we eat more today, if people during the bronze age had the same diet as us they would be just as tall as us

@MonsterUpTheStairs 8 лет назад

@gabrielanunez5429 8 лет назад

ok but can scishow tell me where trump belongs on the evolutionary tree?

@TessaBain 8 лет назад

The branch with all of the reality show stars. All he's doing is acting like them and people are eating it up just like they do the shows. And hell, if it's not Sanders he's up against (which it probably won't be), Trump better win. At least he's just a fool likely to do nothing (notice all the backpedaling he's done lately as he became basically the de facto nomination for his side?). Clinton is a pandering, lying, piece of shit who shouldn't get anywhere near that office in an official capacity. Hell, she's probably why Trump is doing this at all. He used to support her so it's rather random that he went ahead to run against her. Wouldn't surprise me if he actually suspends after they both get the nomination. Which would leave the people who voted for him as the nomination, tied to him leaving them unable to nominate someone else. Leaving her, for all intents and purposes, the only one running.

@averestless 8 лет назад

Homo-trumpus, small handed humanoids

@maxximumb 8 лет назад

Homo Turpum Stulte It is a sub-species of Neanderthal that was thought to have not cross bred with Homo Erectus. Instead the species maintained a small but inbred population by shunning outsiders and hoarding resources. They typically fought battles against homo erectus armed with their causidicus. To use a causidicus for battle, consuumes a lot of resources, but they can be fearsome weapons.

@sooooooooDark 8 лет назад

at times he looks more like corn on the cob than a human being

@SlyPearTree 8 лет назад

I've read an article about those new finds recently, it was not in a scientific magazine or web site, but a news web site (I forget which), as it is often the case with scientific news in muggle articles, it was badly done. Thank you for letting us know about science news in a better way. And welcome Olivia.

@criskity 8 лет назад

But teh bibble sez that humins came from Addams & stEve.

@toucaninterieur8011 8 лет назад

:) In fact, it's not to take litterally (i mean, you can't make a woman from a rib). The right way to read the bible is to get the phylosophical sense of it. For instance, in the bible says that all humans come from one couple. Which is kinda true, when you know that a new species is often founded by one mutated individual. In reality, the authors of the bible used this analogy to teach men about how a lot of things work that way (languages, kingdoms...)

@coolguyman16 8 лет назад

Thank you

@ubermenschi1459 8 лет назад

But doesn't every other holy book say nearly the same thing in regards to creation? Just saying symbolism or not, it's unscientific.

@toucaninterieur8011 8 лет назад

Pope Dawkins It's not supposed to be scientific. It's supposed to be phylosophical. And if by "every other holy book" you mean bible and quran you can google "Zoroastrianism" or "shintoism" or "hinduism"

@ubermenschi1459 8 лет назад

Ahuratchek But there are thousands of holy books? I never meant JUST the Bible and Quran. Harry Potter is a very philosophical book, but no one worships Voldemort.

@TheReaverOfDarkness 8 лет назад

I think it's neat that multiple human species may have lived on the Earth together as recently as 100,000 to 200,000 years ago! We have Homo Floresiensis, Homo Erectus, Homo Heidelbergensis, maybe Homo Naledi, and there could be several more! I wonder how many chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan species lived on Earth 100,000 years ago?

@MikhaelAhava 8 лет назад

Yeah

@XavionofThera 8 лет назад

Human has traditionally referred to our species, not our genus. The same mindset behind political correctness is behind calling these creatures in our genus (but not our species) human. It is an insult to our species to call these extinct animals human.

The pigmy mammoth (Mammuthus exilis) whose remains are found on Santa Rosa island (off the Southern California coast) are a separate species from the mammoths that once inhabited the California mainland. They are thought to have evolved over 30,000 years. This one tenth the time for Homo florenciensis to evolve.

Science suggest that some biblical histories, like the bloody river in Egypt and the fires from the sky who attack Sodom and Gomorrah could have actually happen (meteorites, red algae) Conclusion: The histories of the bible actually happened in real life. Science suggests that 1 meter tall humans, similar to the hobbits, existed. Conclusion: The histories of the Lord of the Rings actually happened in real life.

@guilhermecastilho2726 8 лет назад

FUN FACT -- at 2:49 it is said that "they would have had to have shrunk very quicklu within about 300,000 years". thats NOT that quick. lets remember that within only 50 years the North Koreans shrunk at least 10 centimeters when compared with south Koreans. It is said that it is related to the limited diet the north koreans are submited to -- (or should i have said "sad fact"?)

@jacobanderson8189 8 лет назад

This probably isn't genetic however. Just malnutrition. But you might be right, species can shrink much faster than they can grow.

@eragon78 8 лет назад

+Jacob Anderson, There could also be some genetic change on the DNA flags that was switched [don't know the technical name other than "flags", something to do with epi-genetics]. It could be a similar thing as to what happened with dinosaurs evolving to birds, in which teeth became beaks in a very short time due to the DNA switching "off" the genes to make teeth instead of actually getting rid of that gene. It therefore caused a very "quick" [relatively speaking] change from beaks to teeth.

@Nozerone 8 лет назад

Obviously what has happened, is that they found Neverland. The skeletons they found are not of short adults, but the kids known as the lost boys. There was once an anomaly on this planet that kids would sometimes fall into, and they would be transported through time, and onto that island. The trip through time also wasn't kind to them, causing them to come out the other side deformed. The deformities soon caused their deaths.

@michelleyin3632 8 лет назад

@zizkazenit7885 8 лет назад

Shouldn't the word "prehistoric" be used, rather than "ancient"? "Ancient" typically refers to the start of recorded history until the middle ages.

@thisisatonofbs 8 лет назад

Shrinking by .5m in 300,000 years isn't that long at all. 300,000 years would be about 30,000 generations (assuming maturity of about 10 years). Dogs, which have been with us for around 20-30,000 years, or about 10-15,000 generations (2 years to maturity) have gone from the fairly uniform in size wolf to the Chihuahua at one end and to the Great Dane at the other.

@ivarkrabol 8 лет назад

True, but that happened through selective breeding. Natural selection tends to be *a lot* slower.

@maxximumb 8 лет назад

Modern humans have frown in size by around 10cm 0.1m over the last 100 years, mostly from a change in nutrition. A change of 50cm in 300,000 years is easy.

@megadebtor 8 лет назад

Quick thought, What if we made a simulation(with a computer capable of running it) of the big bang with all of the correct theorems, partials, and equations and we kept the simulation going in fast forward till the simulated universe was the exact same as the our universe, so we could theoretically make this and see what would lie in our future

Because simulating our exact universe is likely impossible, no?

Theoretically, if we had a computer powerful enough, although since we don't have a perfect model of the universe yet, the universe we created would likely turn out very different after ~14bn years. Also, in doing so, we would be as close to proving that we ourselves are living in a simulation as we could ever be! (if that interests you at all)

You could, but you would have to scroll for a long time into the universe to locate one planet that has a civilisation on it.
