To celebrate 10,000 we thought we'd make a video exploring what our world was like 10,000 years ago. What was life like for the humans alive at the time? What was the climate like? And what animals were around? Thank you all so much for the support you've given to this channel!

@theawecabinet 6 лет назад

The megafauna were wiped out by the comet impacts which struck N American ice sheet, vaporising it and creating 1000ft high floods to sweep across the continent scouring everything down to the bedrock and ending the ice age almost overnight. In addition there was almost certainly a mass solar event which caused the earth to be scorched by plasma discharges which filled the entire skies. It was hell on earth coming out of the last ice age and humans barely survived. The collective trauma of 2000 years of cataclysmic events and 15 degree climate change with 400ft sea level rise would have made the surviving humans obsessed with the sky and the terrors which it can unleash onto us. There was without doubt a high civilisation prior to the ice age which got wiped out, leaving humans 10,000 years ago to regroup and start again from scratch. 10,000 years is the date for when Gobekli Tepe was deliberately buried, making the actual site itself far older. It is most likely one of the first sites to be built after the cataclysms, as humans tried to preserve their scientific, astronomical, mathematical and other knowledge into stone (having just had their entire civilisation wiped out). Check out the research by Randal Carlson and Graham Hancock

@olimthomas6515 6 лет назад

Christopher snedeker very sorry. when i researched the topic i mixed up the cradle of civilisation with the cradle of humankind

@Skelstoolbox 6 лет назад

Nope, North American extinction of megafauna was due to an impactor from the clovis comet which likely the cause for the younger dryas period of 1000 year weather disruption.. No chance human, paleo-indian hunters wiped out the large animals faster than they could breed..

@@123Gravina Hiawatha craters are most likely not related because the ice above them is much older. Also the found charcoal at the site is much older - age greater than 50,000 BP. The scientist however want funding to check it fully, so it is good trick to use the hot public interest prepared from few showman-s. The thing ordinary people who are interested in the YD show are missing is to actually educate themselves about the D-O events and that YD is nothing special in the recent past as climatic fluctuation, and most likely the climatic fluctuation is not related to meteorite. Only the extinction is the controversial part - but this can be a result of overlapping of few events - not a single reason as the yet to be proven meteor theory. At that time geomagnetic excursion happen(if Cosmic ray theory is true this mean the Sun as well as the cosmic rays to be trouble makers for life), Laacher See volcano eruption happen (markers in the soil can come from the volcano, not from meteor), Vela supernova exploded approximately around the same time; It is still to be proven the YD black mat is from fire - because many says it is from humidity/rains (remember the excessive water pour in the oceans- may mean years of rains) and few other theory goes with the extinction.

The Pronghorn is living evidence of the previous existence of an NA high speed predator. This animal is ridiculously fast and effortlessly outdistances wolves and coyotes.

@michaellawson6533 5 лет назад

Luck it doesnt live in Africa , the cheetah would run it into the ground .

@nemilyk 5 лет назад

@@michaellawson6533 Actually that's likely why the pronghorn is so fast, as Fraser Henderson was saying. As is pointed out in this video, there used to be an 'american cheetah,' the Miracinonyx, which would have preyed on the pronghorn. The pronghorn is the second fastest land-animal after the African cheetah and that's not by much... and might even be faster based on recent studies. Cheetahs have been clocked with GPS hitting 60mph (sorry for not using metric... I'm an American, give me all your hatred everyone) but for only for short periods of time, and average around 40mph in the chase. Even with those speeds they're only successful in hunting 60% of the time. Meanwhile, the pronghorn can hold a 50-60mph pace for a whole half mile, and up to 40mph for a whole mile. If the cheetah doesn't catch the pronghorn in its short running window, that pronghorn is long gone. Where the cheetah holds and edge is in its acceleration. It only takes 2 seconds to get to 50mph, but it can only maintain that speed for about 1600 feet. That gives it pretty small window to actually catch prey as fast as the pronghorn or springbok (which is only like a hair slower than the pronghorn). Long story short, the pronghorn probably wouldn't be that troubled by the modern African cheetah, it's met them before evolutionarily speaking, and the pronghorn's still around. Give North America's fauna some credit ;).

@colb9916 5 лет назад

@@nemilyk Makes me wonder what we're missing fossil-wise here in Australia. Our Emu can run at 80kmph(50mph)with average speeds of 30-40mph for miles. There is nothing,and as far as i know, has been nothing on this continent to keep up with it. Why evolve to run that fast without a reason ?.( the african spotted hunting dog, is about the only modern predator ive seen with the sustained running speed and pack inteligence to mount an effective counter to the Emu's speed , litteraly running its prey into the ground,by repeatedly changing the lead chasers with fresh pack members,, but,, their remains havn't been found here ) The Thylacaleo*?(not positive on the spelling*, was a marsupial lion, the largest predator here) an ambush predator and not speedy over the ground. Thylacine ( tasmanian tiger) with a gait similar to the Tasmanian Devil ,wasnt fast enough to catch Emus. Same goes for the kangaroos. Other than Dingo (non native species,introduced around 4-4500 yrs ago) there is no predator here that can keep up the sustained rate of travel a plains Kangaroo can. 30-40mph over miles,(big bucks ((males)) and ive seen them stand over 7ft ) covering over 10mtrs (30+ feet) in a single bound. The faster they bound, the less energy they expend.Even little ones .. They evolved to hop and hop and bloody well hop.Spring loaded legs is an apt description . Again, why evolve to flee that fast and far without a capable predator? .No big cats, no long distance canines.. It leaves an unanswered question in my mind.

@nemilyk 5 лет назад

@@colb9916 Excellent question, and wish I had an answer. I'm not going to really pretend to be an expert, just what I put together from the evidence I see and read. Though I would consider the wedge-tail eagle might have something to do with that. It is known that the Haast's eagle of NZ preyed upon moa, and that wedgetails to this day prey upon emu as well as kangaroos. Something I'd consider as far as the emu is concerned, off the top of my head, was that once the emu had a competitor in genyornis. Perhaps more speed and endurance helped the emu both get out of trouble with its genyornis neighbours over territorial squabbles, as well as playing on an old joke here in the States: "I don't have to run faster than a bear, I just have to run faster than you." Maybe the emu just had to evolve to be faster than the larger genyornis, leaving genyornis a more likely target for large eagles? Again, pure speculation, but speculation is half the fun, and it's what leads us to looking for the answers, eh?

@colb9916 5 лет назад

@@nemilyk Mabee in bygone times, the eagles here were much much bigger ,i cant realy say , but from all i've seen and learned over the years,Wedge Tails seldom prey on kangaroos or emu's. sometimes the very young ones yeah, and small wallabies, but emu at around 100kg and roos at 50 to 90 kg live, are too big for them. they mostly prey on small marsupials, rabbits, foxes,cats,lambs etc and carrion. (many are accidentaly (i would hope) killed feeding on road kill ). Far from the noble and majestic vision many have of them, (and i love that vision myself ) they mostly feed on already dead carcasses :( that they come across, many feed almost entirely off other animals killed on our inland/outback roads . .Although they're our largest Raptor, they aren't as large as many think them to be.Average about 18 to 25 or so inches tall standing on the ground.although there were many larger ones shot and killed in the early days of European settlement here. Early farmers shot them thinking they were takeing lambs ,sheep and calves. but they dont have the body size to make large animals their natural prey. im not an expert either :) but have lived my entire life in the country,taken an avid interest in all things to do with my native land, Our joke is not needing to swim faster than the great white, just faster than your dive buddies lol. Many many mysterys in this ancient country.

Few people understand the massive shrinkage in land area due to the end of the Ice Age. The video mentioned Doggerland, which probably was heavily populated. But the Persian Gulf was a river valley with two large lakes, according to some geologists. You can still see the Hudson River canyon cutting through the continental shelf off New York City on topographical maps of the sea floor. Consequently our knowledge of ancient cultures is restricted by lack of access.

I'm convinced that there were humans back then that refused to kill or eat animals, the same way some humans are now. It would be insane to think that we invented vegetarianism these past few hundred years, it's been around much much longer. Therefore I don't think we drove as many animals to extinction the way we have been taught. If anything I believe hunting with guns throughout history has done the most damage from humans followed by habitat damage, it's still happening today. It's just my theory, maybe someone agrees or disagrees but I'm not totally wrong and my theory is still developing✌❤

@davehallett3128 3 года назад

@@GetCareless i can imagine that before the use of fire. Eating animals was less appetizing. Pun intended BUT don t forget the law of the jungle. EAT OR BE EATEN. When you get hungry enough you d be surprised what you would eat or kill to eat. I would bet money that certain tribes or clans WOULD have been vegetarian or insectivorous merely because of lack of choice. Either temporarely seasonally or permanently. Of course it s much easier and safer to be vegan. Fruit and vegetables can t defend themselves. But i m also positive that it was NEVER a moral choice just the only way to feed oneself. I m equally positive that the ancient jewish prohibition on pig meat and shellfish was merely based on watching others eating that and getting sick and dying. Can anyone tell me how primitive man could avoid birth defects if there were only. Say two adult men and ten adult women in a clan. How they avoided scurvy if citrus fruit was not part of their diet i m sure they didn t recognize scurvy as a lack of vitamin c any more than rickets as a lack of vitamin d. Can you imagine how many millions of humans and proto humans have died over the last millions of years eating the wrong parts of plants or berries eating partially cooked or days old meat. Eating roadkill without knowing when it died or that it may have died of a disease or parasite which the consumer will inherit. Or simply the loss of decades of acquired wisdom when one or several elders die. So that the survivors have to relearn how to thoroughly cook meat. Which parts of tobacco potatoes tomatoes rhubarb are safely edible or safely processed. MILLIONS of people must have died unnecessarily over the millennia simply through trial and FATAL error when previous wisdom was lost. Generation after generation. It boggles the mind. We have books today but we didn t 600 years ago let alone 600 000 years ago

Except it not the most recent scientific evidence. Humans did not hunt giant animals to extinction witg stick and stones.... Especially not as hunter gatherers who would be aware of preservation of their food source just as modern hunter gatherers are.... Use your brain

@@theArab__ Randall Carlson who is the expert on the Canadian Badlands has seen many woolly mammoth all dying at the same moment with legs and ankles broken. Seems to me like a shock wave or a flood knock them over not human hunting. Creatures with specialized diets are the first to go when there's an interruption in the food chain.

@davehallett3128 3 года назад

You re thinking of the younger dryas impact hypothesis which maintains that a kilometer wide chunk of iron asteroid hit the north west area of greenland 12 000 years ago or 10 000 bc and wiped out the mega fauna and a considerable human population in canada scandinavia and russia because of instant climate change due to the impact similar to the dinosaur extinction except that this impact was ten times smaller and occured in a remote area of the earth at a latitude barely inhabited by humans and of course occuring so recently at a time in human societal development where we were best able to cope with it barring more recent advances in technology. Look up the hiawatha glacier impact

@user-mx8nr3sp6n 6 лет назад

You forgot to mention the Younger Dryas impact theory, aka the Clovis comet hypothesis. It states that what caused the megafauna extinction was a broken up and fragmented asteroid hitting the North American ice shelf (thus no crater) in the Great Lakes region around 12,500 BC. The asteroid is believed to be the catalyst for the cold climate change of that time period. Congratulations on reaching 10K!

@rgsmith71 6 лет назад

Y thank you. That's the only thing that makes the most sense.

@jamesathersmith2191 6 лет назад

There’s no evidence for that so you cant really say it caused it if we don’t know it happens and it doesn’t really hold much water as the climate change was going on which would effect the prey population (although probably not outright killing them) and with new predators showing up(humans) the larger animals went extinct and when-ether humans showed up species of animals went extinct.

@rgsmith71 6 лет назад

James Athersmith there's plenty of evidence for it compared to no evidence that humans hunted a large number of species to extinction.
