Spread of Homo Sapiens 

We’re looking at ourselves here

Imagine like you’re expanding whole world but forgetting to step on Madagscar.

One criticism: I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure there were lots of huge land bridges which aren't shown (such as between Britain and Europe) which enabled early humans to settle there.

Very Nice that you show the different ethnicities. One of the best mappers today on YT

5:35 Oh look at this...It’s the first meetings between Native Americans and Europeans ! That’s sweat *Ten seconds later... O H B O Y

You even showed the different ethnicities... You are an amazing mapper

Iceland and Madagascar: *exist* humans: I do not see it

The color change of the Americas is terrifying 😳

I read: "Spread of homosexuality"

It's interesting how Australia was first settled tens of thousands of years earlier than when the Americas were first settled, but New Zealand hadn't seen a human until less than a thousand years ago.

Really cool, but you're missing so much by not showing how the land changed!

The accuracy and amount of information in this channel is surprising. Keep it up, you are doing a great job, it will help a lot of people

The spread of Hominidae when? Neanderthals and other human species. Maybe even chimps. Also cool video!

As with all your videos, the concept, the simple yet precise visuals and the amount of detail blew my mind. Really well done!

What caused Northern Europe to become depopulated at 3:40? EDIT: nvm it was ice age glaciers

Let's spend more resources on colonizing space rather then fighting each other.

Great vid can you do the languages of the ancient middle east next

I love the fact that Madagascar New Zealand and Iceland weren't inhabited by humans even into historic times. That's amazing 😅

What's with humans slowly leaving Libya and Egypt before one minute in? Also leaving Greece and the Levant was weird.

Hey! At 2:55 You showed the sapiens migrating into the Eurasian steppes via Anatolia. But didn't the first sapiens that travelled out of Africa, went through the Arabian Coast, crossing the gulf, through the Persian coastline till the end of Indian coastline then reaching the Andaman islands, from there finally making it to the Malayan archipelago? As what I remember from what I have read, this migration happened before the steppes. Oblige to share your thoughts if I miss something here. Cheers!

Great video:) the colors are very accurate!! However wouldn't the first modern Homo sapiens leave Africa c. 70,000 years ago? After the taba eruption, through the strait of Yemen. All earlier attempts to leave Africa (before 70 Kya) failed.

Would've been cool to see how the land changed at the same time. You can kind of infer where the land bridges were but actually having them on the map would've been better I think

You can see the change in the Americas after 1500

Do videos about the Iberian Reconquista and also the language families of Afroasiatic, Nilo Saharan, Mande, Niger, Congo, and Khoesan languages. That will compensate for the lack of videos about Africa.

It is actually realy nice how we rule the world . We are maybe not the same but we are all humans after all.our ancestors is amazing and im proud of it.

You're excellent. Subtle, with New Zealand, Polynesia, Djibouti's strait crossing. Even a great mapping of ethnicities' migrations. It was heartbreaking for me to watch the orange, that's been there for so much time, almost vanish in a few seconds of video.

I noticed how there was a period from 1:01 - 1:51 where a population of human were separated from other human in the Eastern Mediterranean for a very long period of time but went extinct. Given such a long scale of time they must have evolved into a pretty different phenotype. Who are these people and I wonder how they looked like.

It is strange that I recently focused on pre-history and my favorite channels upload videos about pre-history and ancient history!

Would have been interesting if the geology of the earth also changed over time.

Awesome video! I can't wait to see you make a video about the history of Dacian Kingdom and Empire (168BC-106 AD).

Just wondering, how do you find this much detailed information? I also think of starting mapping but i have some problems with research. Anyways, great video as always! Greetings from turkey 👋

Maybe if you have finished all the languages videos you can do the whole world languages (like the whole globe and all languages in your previous videos) though that would take a while just an idea though

OMG WHY IS THIS AWESOME VIDEO SO UNDERRATED?!??!?

I wonder how our ancestors lived 50 thousand years ago. Like we know they did not have civilization and were hunter gatherers but I wonder how it would be if a modern human spent 1 week with our prehistoric ancestors

This map is very interesting, specially when it shows the migrations between different human races

Great work! Also, what is the color code? It's not included in the video.

Μπορείς να κάνεις κάποιο βίντεο που θα σχετίζεται με τους ινδοευρωπαιους. Δηλαδή πως ξεκίνησαν, από που προήλθαν, που μετανάστευσαν κλπ??? Πάντως, πολύ καλό βίντεο όπως πάντα, μπράβο.

Not often you see a video like this that goes 1000 years a second!

The fact that australian aborigens coloniced Madagascar and not the africans is incredible😲

In the Ice Ages, also animate the rise and fall of sea level :: 2 critical areas in the spread of early Man are Beringia and Sundaland, which now are submerged. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia/wiki/Sunda_Shelf

So Ethiopia is pretty much the only place that we've been in continuously from the beginning.

It was up to austronesions to discover the remaining untouched islands like hawaii, eater island, new zealand and madagascar.

Amazing to know that austronesian people (from Indonesia) who discovered Madagascar where it just sits basically next to africans.

Also, just curious, why do the colors change when the homo sapiens go to east asia and the americas? Does it have to do with the main races such as mongoloid, caucausoid, etc or am i just overthinking

hmmm, nicely done however I'm wondering if you can remove the great lakes since they didn't exist before ~12,000 years ago.

yoo he actually shows the european and moroccan skulls from 300k and 210k bc

Please do Semitic or some other Afro-Asiatic group next

From a northern hemisphere perspective it is well presented LGM at 20 k meant a distinct but ”breaf” halt. Also affected the Americas.

i love how u include morroco and eastern africa supporting the two possible theories however u morocco is the oldest

From Ethiopia🇪🇹 to The WORLD

Where did you get the data for the different races portrayed on the map? Seems a little unconvincing. Like how you have everyone in Sub-Saharan Africa (besides the Kalahari desert) are the same race and being identical to the people of Eastern India and Australia? You also have them identical to the East Africans and Horn Africans who are very diverse. You have the Nilotic peoples who are markedly darker and phenotypically different and the Horn African people who are much lighter on average. Even ignoring all of my other observations that still wouldn't make sense because the Bantu didn't expand into most of Africa until very recently in history. Prior to that, the majority of the continent was inhabited by Khoisan people, from the southern cape all the way up to the great lakes region. And Central Africa by pygmies.

will the slight changes in continental drift be visible in this 280k time period?

Did our species really originate 300 ky ago? I thought 100 ky to 200 ky was the most accurate estimate for anatomically modern humans, and 70 ky for behaviorally modern humans.

Πάρα πολύ ωραίο έτσι όπως το χώρισες κατά φυλή!!!

Great video! Is there anyway you could do one with homo sapians alongside other hominids such homo erectus and Neanderthals to give is a clearer idea as to how the colours changed.

Have you planned to make video about history of Caucasian languages ?

It's sad to see the disappearence of the native americans. With the discovery of America, Europeans brought in some really nasty deseases (like pox, or typhus) and the natives had like zero immunity against those. Tenochtitla was revaged, and so was the Inca Empire - before Pizzaro even discovered it, since the desease moved faster than the conquistadors themselves.

Great video but Why are Central Asia,Siberia,North Scandinavia,Finland and half of the European Russia empty ? As far as I know those lands were inhabbited by Finno-Ugric,Turkic, Tunguzic,Mongolian and Siberian Peoples.

I find it wild that the Americas were being peopled at the same time as parts of Europe.

How do you reckon Homo sapiens started in northern Africa rather than the rift valley?

When did you get the info though?

It's crazy to think that humans were in Australia before Austria.

Indeed, I didn't understand some gaps among populated areas (separating them, after also the "buffer" zones had been shown populated before) which are shown, somewhere, before historical ages. Some of them appear due to glacial ages, but others are beyond my comprehension. For instance: why the North African Atlas mountains (and all of Maghreb, I dare say) are shown populated, then not (for a long period)? And why that early gap between a populated South and South-Western Africa and East Africa?

Ι think that light green represents uralic and altaic people, orange native american, medium green sino thibetic and paleosiberian, and dark green austronesian and malgasian.

This description is valid only on the basis of the findings at the present time.

This map should’ve gotten real pale around 74,000. The fact that it didn’t makes me wonder how accurate this is

What happened between -170.000 and -160.000? Suddenly the chunk that was shedding off through the eastern Mediterranean vanishes.

I think Homo sapiens reached Middle East, Central Asia and Indian subcontinent way before than Europe?

ok so I don't know how accurate this is but if humans truly arrived to south america 13k years ago all those native languages, quechua and amazon languages alike, absolutely have to be reconstructable to one language family and proto-language

Even 12,000BCE the date of epic Mahabharata can't be wrong. But archeologists claim around 4,700bce by carbon dating.

Indo-Europeans: Light blue Africans: Dark gray Austronesians: Brown-gray SE Asians: Gold-brown East Asians: Gold Native Americans: Orange Great, but IMO you should’ve showed colors for mixed-ethnicity people (e.g. Mexico and Brazil as blue and orange dashed lines, Russia as blue and gold dashed lines, Madagascar as dark gray and medium gray dashed lines) and shown the Aleuts and Eskimos as gold instead of orange

Wonderful visualization. May I suggest changing the sea levels also? It will take it to the next level! Currently submerged land can be different color when it is exposed. I believe NOAA has the data. Here is another source too www.floodmap.net. Google maps may also have some resources.

the out of africa theory said that the migration out of africa began before 70k with the middle east , than the south of asia and Australia before 60k to 50k , than europe and central asia and china and north africa before 40k and siberia before 30k and america before 20k

Um..there were a series of at least four mega-droughts in Africa from about 160,000 to 75,000 years ago that dried up much of the interior lake and fresh water rivers in the interior. Plus where in this illustration, at the beginning around 300,000 it includes the Moroccan evidence at Jebel Irhoud, but ignores the Florisbad evidence. The two skulls are almost identical, and the southern African one is only slightly later. Florisbad was found with middle stone age tools and had a brain volume of 1400 cm. They are clearly both eery, somewhat skeletally archaic Homo sapiens.

It is very strange how the homosapiens didn't colonize throught the strait of Gibraltar, what would be?

Imagine all those ancient people trying to understand the concept of 2000's A.C. People watching how they spread in just 6 minutes of video on our phones-

Πολύ ωραίο Κώστα.

And my halfminded teacher tells me Columbus discovered America Native Americans: then we were living on Mars, before he discovered America

You didn't show mixed races in Africa(Ethiopian race example). And it was worth to do map legend for explaining meaning of colors.

i would like to point out some points that seem like mistakes, also one general big mistake, as it stands for modern humans, the earliet migration of humans from africa to eurasia that survived to today is the one that left from djibouti to yemen some 70K years ago, they did this 20K years before the migration through the sinai to the middle east. at 2:41 you show the second and final entry to eurasia through sinai, that one however has occurred some 50K years ago, not 100K. at 2:53 you show that the the arrival to central asia was through the pontic step when in fact it was through north eastern iran, not only that, you show that this migration happened some 85K years ago when it happened more like 40K years ago. at 3:12 you show that humans arrived to north eastern china through the population that lived in north and central asia, that is in fact not correct, the population that went to china arrived through india, and that only happened around 45K years ago, not 70K years ago as you show at 3:23 humans by now have already arrived in western australia and have crossed indonesia some 10K years earlier, in your map they are still stuck on the malay peninsula (which might i add was then connected to a much greater landmass since the sea levels were lower.) also i'd like to ask exactly what those divisions towards the end are, are those ethnic groups? haplogroups? "races"? because the map you show does not fit any of these. i'm not sure what definition you have for "human" (since in pre-history there were more than one human species) but this does not fit the known migration of homo sapiens i appreciate the graphic and the effort put in however, taking such a monumental task is not for the faint of heart

The common ancestor of Ethiopians, Somalis, Eritreans, Oromos, Amharas, Tigrayans, Copts and Berbers appeared in North Africa sixty thousand years ago.

Please do the Bantu expansion next!

Homo sapiens descended in Morocco And he was like his grandchildren in Morocco

So, the reason why Indian and native Australian have similar skin colour with African is not because their land used to be part of Africa -and then split- in the past?

People say you showed ethnicities, but I'd call them phenotypes

The first human traces in New Caledonia date from 3500 BC not 25 000 BC.

damn i had no idea humans entered Greece so early but then left again

This is really good! And you show ethnicities as well!

here at 46 views, nice video!

homo sapiens in europe on 200000 bc?then disappeared..where have you pick this info?

This might give humans a deeper perspective !

Yellow, orange, black and white What does it mean on maps ???

What do the colours represent?

How about Spread of the genus Homo next?

👍ALL ARE HUMANE BEING ..REAL AND HEARTIEST LOVE FOR ALL LIFE......WE WILL SAVE OUR NATURE THE ENVIRONMENT@BIGBANG

Thanks , great video...rare content in youtube

The colors are based on skin?

Spread of Great Apes and Hominids Please!!! I would pay for this! lol Thank you for your videos. Crucial for my research.

H-How did they get to the americas? Did they have boats?

Very good soundtrack. It matches perfect.
