The Origins of the Neanderthals 

100% of us did thank you!

@ethan midwell well, according to Milo, if you feel attracted to your siblings, now you know why

Had to subscribe, don't want to miss the next video.

According to recent information, early Neanderthal that have been found in Israel and other locations were more like us (height and build) than the later European Neanderthals found in Neander Valley in France. Which could mean regional variation played a role in a similar way that Eskimos differ from warm climate modern humans (Inca or Myan). Also, a large amount of new fossil evidence has been found recently and it continues to be found all over the Eurasian continent. The assumptions made today will change tomorrow.

Watching you chomping on that pizza makes me ask have the Neanderthals really died out?

I got it. Because I remember Gerard

@@DrymouthCWW yeah, i member

Their huge skulls absorbes all the punches so they would still be good Boxers. Not forgetting these guys are built for close Fighting.

Its interesting to think about how much physical variance 2 genetically similar humans can achieve just by training in different ways. I wonder what a Neanderthal that had ten years worth of power lifting or strongman training and diet would look like!

Reach is not always an advantage in some "inside fighting" boxing styles. Look at Mike Tyson or Wonderboy Thomson. But I digress.

My guess is your not a wrestler?

W McGarry you beat me to it mentioning Iron Mike his ability to get low and use leverage in his punches was amazing.

He does look happy!!!

I want pizza.. Mmmmmmmm melty cheezzzzze

He's my favorite prehistory based channel after this

He never stopped smiling and ate the hell out of that pizza, so yeah, I'm thinking you're onto something.

Good way to do it! Ooey gooey mozzarella - yum!

Ah, I see. That is why I could turn off the subtitles that I usually need in english. But one should watch it stoned only if sparing an own pizza. Good clip though, enjoyed it. Going to have a look in the kitchen now.

Yes! I knew i wasn't the only stoned history nerd.

@@TheBernhardEwers people that are into this kind and level of academia and are stoners are a hard breed to come by 😩😭

@@GabrielaMendoza-bu2tk They are! Unfortunately.

Pot = good

Yeah that's why I put that caveat at the start, it's entirely possible that everything I just said will be provably wrong in just a few years.

true. We call it Olive skin. similar in tone to modern Europeans that live in the Mediterranean today. Although, northern populations of Neanderthals become lighter and the Redhead mutation pops up. Redheads are a unique Neanderthal trait but I'm not sure how exclusive that is.

Slow down. "Most Neanderthals didn't even have red hair at high frequency." I agree with this statement.

@Herbal Shaman They actually most likely had a similar range of skin, hair, and eye color tones to what we have. Some had genes for red hair and light eyes. Such traits are very uncommon in people with a particularly dark skin tone. Basically, we would probably not really think they stood out as much as we once thought they did. I mean.. I remember them being depicted as stupid slow grunting hairy ape-like brutes not all that long ago. (Notably that was before we found out we interbred with them...)

@@a_diamond sorry but the mutation responsible for the pale skin we see today did not exist during neanderthals time on Earth. Neanderthals were dead and gone well before SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 showed in the hominid population. There is zero evidence neandys started in Europe, their fossils also very common in Middle East.

Seconding this. 👀

Yeah saw a guy about 5ft 9in no kneck red hair& huge caves ,with appropriate wide shoulders.A real natural power house

Jewish Reptoid ur a genius

The hell angels too. but basically all caucasians.

You forgot one profession: English teacher.

@@backalleycqc4790 I actually had an extremely good English teacher. Only problem was my dyslexia that had not been spotted.

Calgary?

I had a random Calgary Flames t-shirt as a kid in Florida...so, randomly people sometimes know you exist outside of the Olympics.

Gekganatg: moniker code puzzle for you. I've known about Calgary since I was a young Neanderthal visiting your stampede. Couldn't catch a single prey, though.

"Almost as far north as Edmonton", would have been a much better reference point. Go Oilers!!......next season?......soon??

Calgary is a common reference point for comparing the latitude of European cities and countries climates another is irkutsk. Berlin for example is about the same latitude as Calgary and irkutsk but significantly warmer

Research has already shown that the DNA of Neanderthal and Denisovan was 15-16ths human and 1-16th chimpanzee. The ape-men were not human ancestors. They were the result of human-ape hybridization.

@@Mdebacle Ape men? Human ape hybridization? Either I read this wrong and mistook it for something else you you're talking nonsense. The ancestors to apes and humans split millions of years ago. Or do you mean something else?

@@Mdebacle no.

@@bgerystt3801 At 19 minutes into the CARTA video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PGS7unca-ZQ.html , the Leipzig people concluded a "40,000" year old NM fossil was as chimp-like as its own "800,000" year old ancestors. The actual truth was impermissibly horrible.

@@killgora1humans are apes

Thanks, I'm trying my best!

Not its because they didn't have custard Neanderthals went extinct around the Same time homo sapiens learned how to make custard but the Neanderthals liked custard but didn't know how to make custard so they would steal custard from homo sapiens eventually homo sapiens got so fed up with Neanderthals stealing custard that they decided they needed a final solution to the Neanderthal stealing custard problem and wiped them out in the worlds first act of genocide which left us as the only remaining human species on Earth

Oh they had pizza. They just didnt know how to turn the oven on. They had to just eat uncooked pizza all the time. yuck. :-)

@@smelkus ... So this "Custard" Whats this Custard in Modern times...

@@smelkus I have heard they did drugs though ~

I was a 16 yo in NYC during the '64 World's Fair out with my cousins to a neighborhood bar eating pizza. I casually mentioned that pizza was developed in Italy; the waitress (about 90) corrected me that pizza was first concocted in the Big Apple. Anyone know?

im fine with our recipe - a bushel of wheat, cut out some pig ass throw it on there, you know that milk stuff that comes from cows? get a bunch of that, let it rott for a bit, throw that on there, thorw in a bunch of tomatoes and add some water, cook it up and bam, pizza!!

Lol yup basically

Slam dunk someone in a clay arena and it would likely kill them. Also you do know WWE is acting right?

@@gordonlawrence4749 You... you do realize WWE is not Greco-Roman wrestling, right?

Oh man, I avoid mispronouncing the Hungarian name then screw up a town from my own country. Can't trust those Norfolk fen dwellers.

Lived there a while and couldn’t work out how Norfolk people always knew I was new. I’d say “I’ve just got to drive to wymondham” or something and people would look at me and ask “new here then?”

He's a pronunciation nasi.. A racist magic slumlord who steals land through deceit and genocide allows for the appropriation of languages and pronunciations.

do you mean Happisburgh (correct spelling)

Khasab ah yes. I left Norfolk in 2005. All it’s little quirks are fading.

The problem with that is the "coastlines" for those times we have, are at best approximations and he does try and stick to hard facts where possible.

Only if you punch yourself in the left nut

Thanks! I've got to say this was one of the best oven pizzas I've had. Tons of pepperoni!

@@StefanMilo It looked it and I'm welly jelly.

yes actually they are considered as subspecies , because with given complexity , variance in our family , divergence from population to subspecies and than to species have to take hundreds of thousands if not million years , modern humans have aren't even subspecies , yet we still use term ' race ' to refer to different populations with barely a 1. 5 % genetic difference , in some populations of Africa person can be more similar to someone from Europe than to someone from African continent .

There comes a time in every mans life when he thinks "lol lets grow a moustache"

They'd be absolutely stacked for sure.

There still are many humans with the same characteristic features.

@@antonypiniepedus1066 But nobody with all of them.

Yeah, but us primates are horney, he'll yeah i would've tackled one of them big neanderthal gals😁😁😁😁 !!

Almost the same size height. I've seen bigger difference in sizes between 2 humans than would exist between an average human and neanderthal. I've seen women shorter than 5 ft with guys over 6 ft, Which would equal a short Neanderthal with a tall human. And there are guys who are at the height of a neanderthal who are with women who are much taller than the guy. I suppose we have that "variation desire". It's the larger eyes and nose which would be the obvious thing when they are face to face. You can crossbreed a tiny dog with a very large dog and the size difference between them are much bigger than there between humans and neanderthals. I've seen Labrador Terrier pups.

Thanks, I knew one of them would be a 'sh' sound. Just didn't want to get it wrong.

Good question and probably impossible to ever answer accurately. I have always wondered if our ancestors stumbling across fossils influenced their mythology. I suppose it could be some oral history of meeting these guys. 20,000 odd years seems like a long time for stories to be passed down but not impossible I suppose.

Absolutely they lived in Europe where Dwarf mythology originated. There physical description is the same. Dwarves were believed to live under ground. Neanderthals lived in caves. Highly intelligent but never very numerous. There are far to many similarity's for there not to be a link. Just like the hobbits found on the island of Flores in Indonesia. The locals had myths about the little people who used to live there long ago. A myth based on something real. Has the tendency to survive in tribal memory for ever. Humans have a genetic memory. When something imprints on use in a profound way. We carry it on from generation to generation. Kinda like a natural fear of snakes or spiders. Even dragons are the embodiment of every predator blended together. That early human ancestors had to watch out for.

Just imagine our ancestors reaction to finding dinosaur fossils! Could this be where the myth for dragons came from? Definitely seems like a discovery to share with the rest of the group in the form of a tale.

@@factsbeforefeellings6115 "Neanderthals lived in caves." no more or less than homo sapiens did. There is no standard description of dwarves, physically and just because there could be some relation it is important not to jump to the conclusion that there *_is_* , correlation is not causation, remember

@@Philrc You need to read your mythology. There is absolutely a standard definition of dwarves. Along with all mythical creatures. Some of the oldest surviving works of literature describe mythical creatures in detail. When JJR Tolken wrote his books he used these resources to create many of his racial archetypes. Correlation is not causation, Does not hold up when ancient legend and modern science come into agreement. Dwarves Re just one of many examples of ancient legend being loosely based on reality. The idea that ancient people were primitive and there for ignorant as you suggest is false. These people were more intelligent then we are in many ways. So it is ridicules to think that stories could not have been passed down for millennia just like hunting and fishing Technics. I find it funny how scientist will come in contact with isolated peoples and claim they have traditions which survived for tens of thousands of years. Yet the peoples of ancient Europe are equated to ignorant troglodytes.

Lol!

Thanks I appreciate that. It's getting there though. I'm just focusing on making better videos.

Different genes. Their red hair gene does not survive.

Yep.

Pizza was invented by the romans though. It was one of the very first "fast foods". Also when you think of flat bread pizza that is not how the originals were and not how they are in places like Strega in South Italy. You are more thinking of the American style crispy pizza. Original Pizza had just four ingredients, bread dough, tomato, oregano, and either a little garam, or if you were less skint, finely chopped pork pieces. This was all mixed together and put in a ceramic tray about 2 inches (5 ish CM) deep. The finished product was then sold in blocks or squares. The original pizzas were rectangular not round (to save space in the ovens) and cheese was added extremely recently and then only to "stick" the ingredients to the top when this became the fashion in New York.

​@@gordonlawrence4749 Europe thought tomatoes were the devil until 1492.

@@vincivedivicilextalionas4036 And your point is? Napoli Pizza (the first to actually have the name) has tomatoes in and most Italian cooking only has 4 ingredients if it is traditional. Foccacia which is what pizza is derived from is Roman whichever way you look at it. Foccacia had assorted vegetables in it depending what was available at the time and as far as I can see almost never cheese.

@@gordonlawrence4749 *Thats my point*

Pita

@E. R. Yes all true, not european.

Most cultures have a "baked bread and topping" kind of recipe. Realistically our modern pizza is rooted in Italian cuisine though. Shout out to any Neapolitan viewers!

I used to be called Tai Lopez.

Always bringing it back to the scale human can relate to aye?

It ALSO doesn't mean anything IS there!

Lol everyone says that

Hey, you seen my sister?

I was thinking the same, Are you with the munchies? 😅

will s it's strange how evolution produces physically weaker species than the predecessors.

Your genes have toughed it out lol! Thanks for watching!

Hey James Kish, My good friend Dave Kish (14 miles south of Buffalo) recently told me he did a dna test and had a high Neanderthal markers..

@@jimijames9642 I live in North Tonawanda, N.Y. about ten miles north of Buffalo, N.Y. Kish is a Hungarian last name, my Dad is 100% my Mom though was pure Irish; tall, brunette, fair skin, dark eyes.

James Kish I thought the Irish were red-heads with very white skin.... then she must have been of Spanish Ancestry, some sailor from the Spanish-Armada which stranded during their attempt to conquer Elizabethanian-England. And were the Neanderthals up to the very end not inhabitants of the spanish South?!?

@@antonypiniepedus1066Lol yes, there is a story to that, My Great Grandfather on my Mothers side was a sailor with the U.S. Navy, and was said to have married a beautiful Spanish women in @ 1899.

Much like dogs are "retarded" wolves, modern humans are similarly domesticated homonids, shrunken brains, weak, and sickly by comparison.

Pootin dogs are retarded wolfs 😂😂

There was once a silver mine in a valley that produced so much silver that is where the name dollar comes from.

yes, hence their name as the first skeleton was found in the Neander valley in Germany

Neanderthal = the Neander Valley

Raphaël Dordeins Always wanted to see a DNA sampling of rugby front rowers especially from SW France

@@mattiasdahlstrom2024 I also live in SW France, dept 64. Remember you that in France is forbidden by law doing DNA regional or local studies, they have to be done all over France territory. Cordialement

Ya. They fit descriptions of the Canaanite long necks or Rephaim which were said to be 'sons of the gods' - Not very sciency sounding but the fact that 2200 ancient cultures report their existence I dont think it matters.

Watch ancient aliens and replace "extra terrestrial" with "unknown hominid" If you really dig into it, there is tons of evidence of hominid species that lived alongside us up until just maybe 10 thousand years ago. Almost every culture has stories of "gods" and "titans" that lived alongside us. (They aren't gods, or aliens, just hominids)

I guess 2200 ancient cultures lied and miraculously made up the EXACT, SAME LIE without having any contact with each other ;) -

also, when it comes that sham zecharia. his mistranslation(which he did on purpose) of the word annunaki, ended up muddying the waters. annunaki were high born people, of nobility/royalty. not really aliens. in fact the word for otherworldy/ alien/ foreign is NOT annunaki. alot of major world leaders back in the day were always depicted to be bigger than average in body/head size. and "great in mind". even during medieval times, there were people of nobility who had larger than average heads, and were either natural, or cranially deformed. would be nice if actual study of these would be conducted instead of the scientific community continually smearing anyone who does not conform to the mainstream held beliefs. in previous decades, just the thought of neanderthals, existing in the past and/or how, they were absorbed into european and asian peoples was not always well accepted by the scientific community. that changed in recent years. i bet the "politically correct" nutjobs in the scientific community would be against this, more so that black subsaharans contain very little-to almost no neanderthal dna. and most successful countries that currently exist have around 1-2% neanderthal dna on their major ethnic groups.

oh yeah, dunno if its true. and please someone confirm this but.. i heard that at the top3 places with highest average IQ. all those three have MORE than 2% neanderthal dna (som1 please check this, i could be wrong) those would be hong kong, japan and korea. seems like the denisovans also interbred with neanderthals and homo sapiens.. denisovans have similarities to neanderthals and share some traits

Oh yeah it's a real golden age for prehistory at the moment. Pass on my apologies to Mr. Depardieu!

@Taiwanlight very true.

There is no such thing as DNA. No one has ever directly seen a molecule of any kind. All images of DNA and molecules are fabricated computer pictures.

Lol - but super interesting story and this should be a factor yes! if we see indians in America, and aboriginals in Australia, it is exactly that till today...

What if all dogs and wolves had died except the Chihuahua. Imagine paleontologists arguing about whether an alsation was a breed of dog or a large fox, or something else entirely. Would they even be able to tell a pug skeleton apart from a chihuahua? That's what this feels like to me
