@Matthew Bunn Understanding the world is not "useless" just because it doesn't directly pay the bills. I know a ton of highly educated engineers, coders, dentists/doctors and entrepreneurs who, while materially successful, are tragically ignorant about the things that are central to our understanding of ourselves and of reality. Astronomy, biology, philosophy, history, anthropology, linguistics, mythology, literature and the history of ideas, are crucial fields to get familiar with if you want to not stomp through life with dumb assumptions about what the world is and how people work.

@eons 5 лет назад

Thanks for the note! We love us some anthropology and archaeology over here. And, in response to some other comments farther down, I want to point out that our episode does /not/ propose a Clovis-first model. The most robust available data suggest that humans first arrived in the Americas approximately 16,000 years ago, but those people were not affiliated with the Clovis Complex. What we say is that humans became more widespread in the Americas between 12,600 and 13,000 years ago, with the rise of the Clovis complex. Presumably, that technology facilitated expansion and settlement. Thanks again! (BdeP)

@alechorn1109 5 лет назад

Sam Hovater Multiple waves was widely held until recently until it was genetically disproven. It seems the current view is that men from multiple regions in Asia accumulated in the Bering Sea land bridge over time, but glacially stopped from reaching North America. They were substantially trapped by renewed glaciers behind them leaving a human population isolated on the land bridge for several thousand years. They naturally mixed more thoroughly to become a single people , developed its own culture and technology, maybe the Clovis point as well. When ice melted they were released into Americas and spread quickly throughout. This explains why all Native American , North and South are so genetically identical but historically mixed from several regions of Asia. The studies give a lot more detailed support for this but that’s the current view. Fascinating.

@@LoudPackNapLife You are partially right that there is no evidence for boat from that era, but the austronesian/polynesian definitely colonized the far away pacific island by boats. There IS actually an evidence for voyage by boat of the polynesians from relatively recent time around 1400 A.D. www.pnas.org/content/111/41/14728 "The colonization of the islands of East Polynesia was a remarkable episode in the history of human migration and seafaring. We report on an ocean-sailing canoe dating from close to that time. A large section of a complex composite canoe was discovered recently at Anaweka on the New Zealand coast. The canoe dates to approximately A.D. 1400 and was contemporary with continuing interisland voyaging. "

"Sea levels did vary in the Pleistocene Epoch, and probably made some crossings a little easier, but our ancestors still would've had to find a way to get to the islands of South-East Asia. And we do not know how they did it, but we know they got there". What the hell ? I really love your channel but this is really weird coming from you guys, since we DO know how they got there. It's because during this period the sea level was indeed much lower than today. These islands did not exist and there was a whole subcontient instead : Sundaland. Just check it out ! It was exposed throughout the last 2.6 million years. There was also the continent of Sahul lying directly south of it which used to exist. I'm impressed because I even think that you talked about it in your previous videos. You could at least show ice age maps of the world in there ! Who know how much was lost under the seas. Anyways, keep up the great work of course, your videos are still totally awesome and relevant, I just wanted to point this out (:

@lilaclizard4504 5 лет назад

@kyjo72682 5 лет назад

@@lilaclizard4504 Sundaland article on Wikipedia has a map of full extent of lands with sea levels lower by 120m which corresponds the last glacial maximum when the levels were historically lowest. So it's something between that and the current map depending on the exact sea level at the time. It seems like the best time to migrate would have been sometime between 10k and 80k years ago. www.e-education.psu.edu/earth107/node/1496 skepticalscience.com/Past-150000-Years-of-Sea-Level-History-Suggests-High-Rates-of-Future-Sea-Level-Rise.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundaland

@RedXlV 4 года назад

Only some of the current Southeast Asian islands were part of Sundaland. Even when sea levels were at their lowest, getting so Sahul and some of the other islands that were detached from both land masses required ancient humans to cross the sea. So humans were already building boats 65,000 years ago.
