Yeah, they acted like we didn't know that dinosaurs and cavemen didn't live at the same time. It's like they thought that by watching "The Flintstones" that we thought that dinosaurs and cavemen lived at the same time and were therefore morons.
@@girlgarde I know people in my workplace who think that both existed at the same time in history. One man is retirement age, but there are a couple of younger people who also believe that.
Some things they forgot about Homo Erectus: -They didn't live around in caves under pale-red skies; the vegetation and sky at that point in history looked like it does now -They didn't go around squatting and grunting like man-apes; they had comparable intelligence to modern humans
@@nil981 No, not really. Archeology showed no evidence of the sky being full of the chemicals necessary to make it look red like that, but rather that it was mostly nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor; the idea of it being red is derived in part from the Miller experiment. Furthermore, ancient humans couldn't have breathed an atmosphere that made the sky that red. Also, H. Erectus had a skull radius that, like Neanderthals, was similar to modern humans, suggesting similar cranial capacity. And while it's possible they couldn't vocalize like modern humans, it's obvious from fossil records that they had some kind of language.
_"They'd all be dead by age 30"_ - that's an often repeated misconception. Life expectancy has increased dramatically, but the human lifespan has remained relatively unchanged for millennia. It was uncommon for a human to survive into their old age during the stone age, but not unheard of.
The average life expectancy would be around 30, but mainly because of extremely high infant mortality. Chances are if you made it to 5 you could make it to 50. Nobody was dropping dead for thousands of years because they made it to 30.
@@MetisLeigh427 there wasn't a total lack of medical care, people knew about medicinal herbs and cleaning wounds and caring for people who were injured. hell, we even have bones from that time with healed traumatic injuries, like broken legs. so yeah, medical care then was nothing like it is now, and stuff that is little more than an inconvenience now could have been life threatening, but there was basic medical care
Yea, that "they ate their children's brains" bit is a huge jump in logic. We found caved-in skulls. There is no way for us to know if they ate the brains or not. We don't even know if they caved their kids skulls in themselves, or if it was done by a competing tribe, or in an accident. Even if they did eat their kids brains, we only have one cave to go on. Which means that we might be looking at a single tribe or family, not the whole species.
Anything to make neanderthals look stupid and uncivilized so that Darwin's theory on the origin of man as entrenched as possible. Certain groups make all sorts of gigantic leaps about early man to push a certain image. I'm not refuting anything, nor am I accusing this video of anything. I'm just saying, a lot of evidence shows that neanderthals were actually quite civilized and that's "impossible" if they were halfway from evolving from apes, so neanderthals get depicted as completely unscrupulous lunatics that all killed and screwed everything in sight.
DustinOffAClassic You do realize that Neanderthals were not halfway of anything but an example of convergent evolution; Homo sapiens didn't come from them. However you are correct in stating that they were more social and were intelligent than we originally believed but "civilized" is quite a stretch, unless you count having huts and small villages as the sole basis of "civilized"
Nix alot I'm sure I read somewhere recently that modern Homo Sapiens actually have Neanderthal genes due to interbreeding between the early homo sapiens and neanderthals.
There were Birds at he time of dinosaurs...and we dont count THEM as dinosaurs now do we? Also Theres another group Called Pterosaurs that lived with the dinosaurs......Birds would be more related to Pterosaurs than Actuall Dinosaurs than anything
@@ultradragon999 Evolution is not linear. It's not working linear. Just take on look on sirens and compare them with normal whales, or humans and apes. They both exist in the same time.
there were dinos, birds are descended from dinos, and technically are dinos themselves... which means they survived(or at least the meat eaters did). Just imagine dinos that looked like dragons for better accuracy... and add some feathers
I for one like the idea that the Flintstones are actually in the future, rebuilding after a nuclear apocalypse, hence their belief in Christmas, understanding of machinery, etc.
there's acualy lot's of speculation (non of it cannon just from fans on the internet XD) that the Flintstones and Jetsens take place ta the same time, after some kind of cultural split the upper class lives in above ground cities where the lower laborers live on the ground in sever poverty, think the episode of Star Trek "The Cloud Minders"
The true backstory of the Flintstones is supposedly that a nuclear holocaust sent their technology back to the stone age. That would explain why they still have Christmas, cigarettes ( only for the earliest episodes and adds though ), bowling, and other relatively modern features despite appearing to only have prehistoric technology.
@@TheAnimeRick nah I don't think it's true it's just a cartoon portraying stone age as morden age with stone stuff and dinosaurs and prehistoric creature
Scientifically Accurate Dexter's Lab..... When Dee dee blew those experiments to smithereens. there was gloom and doom when things went boom Both siblings diiiiiiiiiiiied!
@@pomponi0 thanks, that's news to me. Seems like they're publishing discoveries all the time that show prehistoric humans were more sophisticated than we thought.
They wouldn't die by 30, that was merely the average. The number was brought down by a lot of people who died young or in birth, or don't make it through childhood. If you lived to be 30 back then you probably lived to a normal 60-80 age, unless you got sick.
Neceros The fuck? Yes - there are also old people in modern cities, people that have lived to 120+, does that mean the average age is 120+? No. These people are outliers. When you look at people in a village and see an old person, they are the OUTLIER population - they do not represent the average lifespan at all. Yes, infant mortality means that the average lifespan of humans in the past would be lower than it would be if you considered only the average age of people after they have reached 18-25 years old - but take those numbers into account and you would still not reach 80 as an average lifespan of humans in the stone age - the assertion is simply wrong.
Nathaniel Hirst How is it a myth? Before hospitals became widespread, the average lifespan was very short, because of extremely high infant mortality. In the poorest African countries, plagued by disease and war, the average lifespan is about 40 right now.
You answered you're own question: "the average lifespan was very short, because of extremely high infant mortality" Infant mortality skews the average life expectancy statistic so much renders it almost completely useless. Prehistoric humans that reached adulthood usually reached old age as well. Contagious diseases like HIV (which is almost single-handedly responsible for Africa's low average life expectancy.) caused almost no deaths until people began living in close proximity to one another in cities.
Nathaniel Hirst Would scientists include infant mortality in recording the average lifespan of prehistoric humans? Do they even know the infant mortality rate of prehistoric humans? I'd assume the short lifespan, or rather the longer lifespans we have, would be due to overall health, nutrition, and living conditions.

Da da da da da! They will be spill chemicals and professor will die from that explosion. POWER PUFF! Do do do THEY GO NO FINGER TO GRABS ON THINGS! THEY GOT NO NORMAL FEET, SO THEY FALL DOWN OVER STREET! THE POWER PUFF FREAKS!
Yeah, I see people suggesting Powerpuff Girls all the time, but how would you really do anything with it? "Everything Nice" isn't quantifiable, no girls, "Sugar and Spice" soup makes no girls, Deus Ex Machina the Chemical doesn't exist... have they done _any_ superheroes? Men can't fly, men can't lift trucks, bullets don't bounce off men, radioactive explosions don't give you superpowers... it sounds really boring.
SMProductions yeah basicly him and his dino friends would be dead long ago or he eats everyone including the kids the birds from the first series and also that orange dino kid they brought in recently. what kind of dino is that. and a scientificly accurate Thomas the tank engine wouldn't be interesting since they would just have no face or interaction or talk about how dangerous the accidents that happen in them would really be. I can see the faceless tank engine passing a graveyard for train casualties just know.
Well, technically speaking, in the intro of the original show, they call themselves "the first modern family". So I can only assume they changed up some traditions.
"They'd all be dead by age 30." ಠ_ಠ That's not how it works. The average was dragged down due to infant mortality. If you lived to reach 5, you'd have a pretty normal lifespan after that.
+Mr. Patrick Henry Cheryl I think maybe even longer than when everyone settled in cities (because of epidemics, crime, doing hard manual labor for the city's upper class, pollution, etc .... ). Also: a hunter-gatherer is much more flexible than someone who lives in a city ... When encountering famine, flood or enemy tribes, a hunter-gatherer just moves to the next region, while someone who is dependent on farming is trapped in his city.
Funny enough the most recent paleontological studies debunked the African origin theory positioning human origins in Europe with less taxing climates and better sites for refuge.
FreeHomeBrew Well let's not forget Tommy and his family were jewish so they would probably throw in a joke about that also, and maybe having Betty and her husband being a lesbian and a gay man that decided to get together to try to hide their sexuality while secretly going out with others and hiding it from their friends.
lehahiah81 "Betty and her husband being a lesbian and a gay man that decided to get together to try to hide their sexuality" that is speculation and not science so wouldn't have any merit to be a video about it.
Another Scientifically Accurate Flintstones Data you missed: When he drives his Flintmobile and when he tries to brake. His feet would be covered in bloody blisters and sores. Worse still when he brakes.
Writer 1 "Who are we gonna get to sing our songs for this channel?" Writer 2 "How about we get the most tone-deaf woman that can't stay on beat to save her life!" Writer 1 "You're a fucking genius!!! Let's also write the songs so that no one could possibly make it sound good, just to make it harder for her!" Writer 2 "I love it!"
Actually the ed most recent studies tell that we early hominids didn't weren't murderous and actually were peacefully scavengers/gatherers and that place we found the dead kid skulls , turns out it was actually a ancestral leopard.
***** Nah, it took quite a long time for them to become whiter, the first europeans where black, but turned white because black skin is bad at getting vitamine d in low light european conditions.
***** Skin is black because of the melatonin and shit, in africa, there a fuckton of sunlight, so the skin needs to protect itself, but melatonin and pigment and shit do one thing: they block sunlight, so in lowlight europe, they had problems getting their vitamine D. which is probably why they evolved to be lactose tolerant, to fill up the protein gap.
Evanderep's Animations first of all, it's melanin, not melatonin. Lack of melatonin leads unhealthy sleep cycles. Second of all, vitamin-D isn't a protein, it's a special piece of cholesterol that's been bashed into a fresh shape by the sun's ultraviolent rays. And third of all, being lactose intolerant would compound the problems of low vitamin-D and/or protein shortages, since milk naturally contains protein and some vitamin-D (modern milk also has added vitamin-D), that's why it's sometimes (controversially) called a "perfect food." The advantage of dark skin pigments near the equator is that they absorb UV, reducing the incidence of skin cancer. The bad thing is that in less intense sunlight, so much UV is absorbed that it can't beat up enough cholesterol to make the vitamin D people need in the winter, so cave kids would get rickets.
***** Maybe so, but their ancestors in Africa probably had darker skin. Neanderthals were also not the only hominids in Eurasia. Since there's still extensive debate about who our ancestors were and how different groups interacted, it will be a long time before anyone can say what the modern stone age family looked like.
Something interesting about caveman is that is quite common to find a very circular hole in the skull. It's even more facinating when you learn that this isn't what killed them. That means that this was some kind of religious or medical procedure.
***** He probably is but like I said, white skin evolved later. Probably in the middle east, closer to asia after a migratory period. The current scientific model usually depicts erectus as dark skinned which makes sense as its environment was hot and sunny.
I don't know if I hate you or love you so far love you and the ztuff you make but why cant I stop and why is it that it hurts but I keep going love it. Keep up the great work
hahaha woow ,, umm super over sensitive alert ! if you got soo offended calling you funny and write a book in sarcastic way, that shows how "rock solid" you convictions are ! oh btw, they say dove soap is good for sensitive skin ! ;) keep it in mind !
abu5alaf91 Ironically, you demonstrate the "super over sensitive [sic]" character that you decried, by choosing to over-react. Get some Dove soap for your passive-aggressive sensitive ass.
i would pay good money to see the reactions of the the show ' s fans as they were just finishing watching this right after i showed them this back in 62
