Was this humanity's biggest mistake? - BBC REEL 

sad loss that man, thanks for all the fish...

DAMN, I literally clicked on the video just to leave the same comment. You’re awesome Carolyn 😄

Haha, this Douglas Adams quote was the first thing I thought of when I saw the video title.

DON'T. PANIC!!!

im pretty sure that humans got out of the trees because the climate at the time became dry and the trees died, if we would be doing so good in the trees then why would we leave?

Especially anasthesia. Sheer madness.

true

If they had been shown a DVD of the future they were setting their descendants up for, they might have done a U-turn immediately.

@@TwobirdsbreakingfreeRight 😂

It's hard to hunt when you're drunk.

10 years of liveable climate

For ten thousands years slaves and serfs working on fields in miserable conditions were saying. - I have it bad now, but I am so happy Jack shall have air conditioning and internet porn in the future.

@Rick Random Yes, thank you, Rick Random, for taking a moment to remember their sacrifice by leaving a YT comment with your modern electronic device. I'm sure they really appreciate it.

@@dolekanteel2178 They also ate their kids when times got tough and the herds of wild animals weren’t available. Wake up.

@@dolekanteel2178 I am guessing this is from someone who has never hunted and gathered for any period of time. It is hard work, and starvation is a way of life. Hunting animals requires a lot of energy, and you're competing against every other human and large predator animal for the same food resources. In late Spring and Summer it is easier to hunt animals, but in Autumn and Winter, even if you successfully hunt an animal it is very difficult to find with any fat on them.

Nothing was designed

@@tomwh1993 okay but what is your idea with the video?

@@tomwh1993 evolution does shape our genome and u can call that a form of design. by evolutions design we are nomadic creatures meant to hunt and gather

@@the1shrubbery You can call that design if you want but you'd be wrong. Design implies planning and an endpoint, evolution has neither of these things. The changes in the way that humans live since we transitioned from hunter gatherers to today is astronomically fast in evolutionary time frames because we do have the capability to design, plan etc. We've left evolutionary pressure behind really and are now something else. Whether or not this turns out to be a good thing for humanity is too early to say, its complicated. The only thing we do know is that its impossible to go back now we've started on this path. You might have heard of it but Yuval Noah Harari's book Sapiens goes into this in more detail, I'm probably just misquoting it here

@@tomwh1993 Show me an evolutionary disaster then mr wall of text

Lots of people lived past 30 ... the reason average lifespan is thought to be so low is infant mortality.

Exactly!

Lemme play Devil’s advocate for the fun of it. Maybe in those 30 years, they enjoyed more pleasure than most of us can in 70 long years now-a-days. Conceivable? Possible? Debatable? They’d have purer water and air presumably. Not once or twice, but 24*7, presumably. Maybe not as much social conservatism. Idk. Worth pondering the pros and cons certainly.

@@FarhanAmin1994 brute force is the ultimate socially conservative one.

Right but the capitalists would have you believe it is a choice between that and Monsanto

"Convenience"....alla those inventions that made life easier are..well..inconvenient in the end!

…and then you break your arm, and starve to death or die from complications, with no medical services. Or a bear eats you.

@David Whitehouse Well currently you get into a car accident and break your arm so the doctor prescribes you pain killers, because heaven forbid people feel any amount of pain. Then you 6 months later you're addicted to opiods and buying whatever you can get from some shady drug dealer. From there you're either stuck trying to get sober, you're a full blown addicted that can't hold down a job, or you OD and die. I've literally seen that exact scenario play put multiple times. I didn't even talk about the medical debt that can bankrupt you or the risk of losing your job. Don't act like we live in some wonderful paradise. Also most bears are not going to eat you. Grizzly bears might, polar bears definitely will. Black bears, which are what is most common, are like giant raccoons and are honestly very pleasent to watch. Just don't mess with their cubs.

The Garand? You mean the rifle?

I think all changes brings consequences. It is only hindsight which determines good or bad. And by then they are both moot?

🤣

yet, this trade is the one that threatens our very existance. because of agriculture, our population exploded and led to unregulated industry and pollution and global warming.

People just want what their believe is true , people have prejudice and judgment . Evolutionary psychology. Farmer and majority support farming . That’s all .

People are easily led. A surplus of resources allows a parasite class of Narcissists and Psychopaths to emerge. Most people are apathic sheep and follow them rather than themselves

@@Isochest Couldn't have been said better. We have the ability to heal, it's only a matter of when we start. In fact, I think most of us don't even know where to start. I think we need to find a way to exist with nature in a relationship where all things benefit.

yeah, hopefully with the passage of time as more women become educated the population can start to decrease. we can only hope that human ingenuity can solve global warming and keep global temperate from raising past the 4 degree point

Fossil fuels are a need of mans life. Until nuclear power, no alternative

Agreed. Mostly. Local areas each have their own character and identity but national identity is a highly destructive construct that leads to war and entrenches the power of the few over the many. (Feudalism, where land is owned or controlled by an elite and farmed by serfs isn't any better though. Nor is common ownership of land because most find change threatening and so innovation is stymied.) The other mistake was the invention of the corporation in its current form. It certainly facilitated economic exploitation but this was at the cost of any sort of social obligation or responsibility. The earth can't support a hunter gatherer population of any size. Hunter gatherer numbers were limited because of the limit on resources. But given an efficient trade and communication network, and a ban on corporations, there's no completely insurmountable reason why people couldn't voluntarily choose to live in communities that fostered various specialisations, not merely food production. It would favour widespread cooperation between both individuals and different communities. There would be major hurdles but it might be better than what we've got now.

by whom?

@@knotkool1 Yuval Noah Harari. There is some evidence that suggests hunter gatherers had bigger brains than their neolithic counterparts. Agriculture opened up niches for unremarkable water carriers to pass on their unremarkable genes.

@@WilliamBarker water carriers?

@@davidregi7571 Assembly line workers = menial unskilled repetitive labor (It's a quote from the book)

“The average forager had wider, deeper, and more varied knowledge of her immediate surroundings than most of her modern descendants. There is some evidence that the size of the average Sapiens brain has actually decreased since the age of foraging. Survival in that era required superb mental abilities from everyone. When agriculture and industry came along people could increasingly rely on the skills of others for survival, and new ‘niches for imbeciles’ were opened up. You could survive and pass your unremarkable genes to the next generation by working as a water carrier or an assembly-line worker. . . . -Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2018)

Because you rich

thank you. but it does not convey any negativity to the schism. which is the subject of this video.

That was an incredible show. I wish someone would sponsor Peter Jackson to remaster it ...

@@edwardfletcher7790 The TV series is on 16 mm film, so if scanned and restored using modern methods could be reproduced at very high quality (1080p).

Nice to see someone remember that ... it was a great series.

thats just the click bait, within the first seconds she says no, its a trade off.

Our modern progress has been stolen at the price of impoverishing most of our own population and stealing resources and labor from the rest of the world.

These Wealth redistributors aka -Communists disguised as scientists- will stop at nothing to convince us that their world view is the only one that counts.

@@letsgobrandon987 Except that what is really happening is the opposite, trolls and shills and sock-puppet bots like you are paid or programmed to spout garbage like your post and worse, so it is really the oligarch thieves that seek to destroy the government and provoke division that are the problem. The polarity of the wealth redistribution today is that the rich are sucking up more and more of the value streams and companies, and then paying think tanks to think of stupid dishonest ways to justify it - like your bass-ackwards comment.

Explain wha you mean please, but don't really see your point?

@@justgivemethetruth most ailments are largely based in or a response to genetic sequences, some sequences are better than others, the ones that are not are most often the cause of sickness. The medical system preserves the not so good traits, allows them to spread. Up until now everything the medical system saves has been a slow build up to what will be a critical point that causes a really bad problem on a societal level, the advent of rna vaccines is the beginning of more rapid consequences. What was once a minor scoped problem is now much larger today, continued support and use of the medical system as it is will only increase the scope and severity. The problem that bothers me the most is the ones who will have to bear this will not e the ones who chose to, they will be lied to and they will pay for the choices of the ones before them. Natural selection is the only way forward, it has been proven far longer than the so called human species has existed.

@@patryn36 Isn't gene therapy a solution to our species-wide accumulation of maladaptive traits?

@@howtoappearincompletely9739 with as corrupted as the people are that are in control of that, i would not rely on that at all. Those people are lying to you all now as it is and they have no incentive to change that at all.

@@patryn36 Well, if it's a choice between that and the species-wide abolition of medicine, so that people can live their "nasty, brutish, and short" lives "like Nature intended", I think I'll choose the gene therapy and the shadowy forces who control it.

It's anti-western CCP propaganda, literally.

Oddly enough, there are theory's about early agriculture which stipulates that the apple eve ate was actually a fig, which were one of earliest cultivated plants, and its was the women, I.e. eve who discovered/developed agriculture originally as a means to provide extra support to the hunters during the hard times of the mini ice age (younger drias). Inadvertently causing humanity problems for thousands of years to come as we became reliant on our grain stores and domesticated animals.

Ah yes, the harmony of the hunter/gatherer. Kill your food before it kills you...

Nocturne op 9 no 2 Chopin

Earth's population would not have grown to the poportions it has today, as birth rates would have been less and death rates would have been greater. What we have today is a natural progression of mankind from subsistance living to a more consistantly sustainable means of feeding a population - aka: agriculture. It was inevitable.

You have no clue how easy the modern hunter gatherer would be without farmer and industrial people destroying ecosystem and aniamls . They probably get foods like 20 mins .

Everything you said in that first sentence sounds stupid.

Very false. Especially about hirachy. Strong groups of tribes are very hirachacle. And theres nothig wrong with that. All strong families need a clear hirachy to be strong and sustainable.

@@Treckorz that's just not true, and very poor spelling to boot.
