Part 2 of our special series on Human Ancestry. Watch it all: bit.ly/OKTBSHuman
↓↓↓More info and sources below ↓↓↓
In part 2 of our special series on human ancestry, we ask why we are the only surviving branch on the human evolutionary tree. Just 50,000-100,000 years ago, Earth was home to three or four separate human species, including our most famous cousins: the Neanderthals. New research has shown that Neanderthals were not the brutish, unintelligent cavemen that cartoons make them out to be. They were creative, smart, social, and perhaps even had complex language. So why did they go extinct as soon as Homo sapiens moved into their territory? Does any trace of them live on today? Why don’t we have Neanderthal neighbors?

Even in modern humans, we can see examples in phenotype traits which portray those found in our ancient ancestors like denosavian, habilis, australiopethicus, florensis and neanderthal to name a few. The gene pool for hominids is much smaller now due to most of them dying off. But the modern human carry many of ancestors genomes. Accounting for different skin tone, height, muscle/bone density, cranium size and shape, blood-type, diet and all other ways of differentiating humans. I love learning about hominids and our genetics. Btw u look cute

@albino478gaming5 Год назад

Makes you wonder if genetic memory is real on some level. Like why are concepts like Dwarfs and Elves seem so old, like they existed since the dawn of time? What if they were real an untold amount of years ago, bred with us humans, and their genes live on within us today? After all, Dwarfs exist today. Some people have pointier ears than most, like elves. Dragons are also very widespread, with each culture putting their own twist on the subject. Like the eastern wingless dragons

@Analheme 4 года назад

It's unlikely that we did. Can you imagine purposely hunting a population to their death when you're only a handful of humans, far from being a civilisation yet, already fighting to survive in a harsh environment? I'm not saying we didn't fight, but studies shows that Neanderthals were already in the decline by the time we met then. I think our interactions were much more complex than that, we killed each other, yes, we compete for ressources, yes, but we exchanged too, and we mixed with each other. I'm convinced that your ancestors didn't even realize that they were a different specie.

@bsheldon2000 2 года назад

During the time the two groups lived together, there was a continuous migration of new modern humans into the shared region. This was due to the population explosion happening at the time in what was a very high quality habitat in the Sahara region. What is known as source sink dynamics is enough to explain why present day humans have a much lower percentage of genes from Neanderthals. It is like mixing 1 part red paint with 99 parts blue paint, both paints are still there, but all you can see is blue. I am not sure of the figures, but I believe that 25% of Neanderthal genes are still in existence in living humans, that 4% figure is just the highest amount that has been found in any one individual.

I did a presentation on this topic in college years ago, before RU-vid was a thing. One of the main, though seemingly unlikely differences, is neanderthals didn't have protruding chins like modern humans have. Chins support muscle attachments for more complex speech. Spreading ideas and innovation through verbal communication is a big part of why humans progress technologically faster than any hominid species on Earth.

@RainAngel111 3 года назад

I think one of the most interesting things is how we apparently forgot about the other species we lived alongside, like Neanderthals. Maybe that's a sign that we just thought they were different looking humans

@xowishuwereherex 3 года назад

Also remember the two hemispheres of the brain have to have the correct amount of transmitters to allow the two halves to communicate to process the environment and knowledge around them. Stupid people don’t have the ability to calculate information as fast. The human species has a brain like a flesh version of a computer. The fastest ram and processor provide an advantage over the slowest ram and processor. So if we compare the same amount of mass and pathways between the two people have one watching nothing but reality tv for 18 years and have the second one exposed to all of the information known to mankind since the beginning the “educated” person will have most of the brain filled with the knowledge and be able to converse with you about it. The other person will gossip about the garbage tv and couldn’t wipe their ass properly. Which explains why our society is in such dire shape now.

-The modern human brain is more rounded than that of the first homosapies, which makes the contact of different brain areas more effective. -In the human brain, von Economo neurons (NvE) are more abundant than in other animals with large brains, such as primates, elephants, dolphins and killer whales. These neurons are longer and have a single dendrite. So it can connect areas further away from the brain and transmit information faster. That in theory allows for higher levels of abstraction.

Our neanderthal brothers were bred out. Neanderthalers have/had the dominant gene. Consequently, they got diluted in the mix and have been bred out. They still live, inside all of us, in our genes. And, every blue moon, a real one pops out. In fact I know one. He does not know he is a neanderthaler, and would be insulted to be called one. But he is, and ANYONE can tell if they know what they are looking at. My friend Tim, who I grew up with, is about 5'9", dark complected, has a heavy brow, and has a decidedly simian gate when he runs(I'm not kidding). The biggest give aways however are his hands and feet, or more specifically his fingers and toes. Extremely crooked, especially the little finger and the finger next to it. If you ever meet a person fitting this description, take a long hard look at the palm of his/her hand. In our hand their rest three major lines, holding the hand with fingers pointing up there is the heart line starting from under the little finger and going toward the index finger. Under that is the headline starting under the index finger and traveling down and under the pinky finger. Finally there is the semi-circular lifeline running around the base of the thumb. Not Tim, in his hand the head and heart line are one. There is only two major lines in his hand. Finally, Tim is sterile, or in his own words "I shoot blanks". I defy anyone to find another like this man. If you do, you have found a neanderthaler. I've only found the one, he is rare and should be studied.

@MarioMarioBW 3 года назад

@@honestman7087 That depends on a certain thread of nonsense. Time travel assumes that the time traveler is actually going somewhere 'new.' However, for nothing to change would mean that every "change" they make has already occurred historically, as in they had already been there 'before' the journey took place. The assumption that time woudn't change would hypothetically requires that Nick already experienced the adventure in the past his younger self wants, already having an influence on time back then, far before he even had the capability to go back in time in the future. There's no fear of a paradox since absolutely everything they do, no matter how meddlesome or malicious, is allowed and already part of unknown history relative to us in our present. This hinges on the possibility that the technology and such brought back returned to origin as soon as they got there, or they didn't possess anything that would cause any drastic change by the point in which they returned or died - like the time machine, tools, food, clothes, et cetera were miraculously melted by an active volcano. Not to mention the loose guarantee that they would perform the exact actions their supposed past self performed, becoming the person necessary to do so. This also requires that nothing they do would prevent them from being born and time travelling in the first place. All of which conflict with the previous statement that anything goes and nothing can change. Of course, I'm just spit-balling here.

@uberlisk 5 лет назад

I personally think that what killed off the Neanderthals was in-breeding. Their good traits, the ones that they had evolved for, were being overshadowed by their flawed, recessive traits. As the creator speculated, they were simply doomed. However, there's an effect at play here that saved them, or at least the best parts of them: hybrid vigour. This is an effect where two or more different groups of breeding stock, highly specialized and inbred, as well as capable of producing fertile offspring, interbreed. Within just a few generations all of the recessive genes are bred out or buried under dominants, resulting in the very best of both breeding pools traits being expressed. This can best be evidence in dog breeding today; if you take two pedigree dogs and breed them together, you end up with a mutt that very often has the best qualities of both parents and very little or no predispositions to the problems that plagued their parent breeds. It's likely that the Neader-Sapien children were superior to both of their parents in many regards, and in time would have out-competed them as well.

Its irritating to hear commentators mention the small tribes and lack of progress in tool making among Neanderthals as way of saying we are smarter. First off they did manage to live in some of the harshest conditions on Earth for 300,000 years. And thos conditions necessitated small tribes. In those harsh conditions one can only walk so far in a single day, and will find very limited foodstuffs. Certainly not enough to feed a large tribe. Additionally, caves offered a permanent safe haven against animals and the weather. So the impulse to move around would be much weaker. Hence much less trade. At this time in Africa people could easily move around and build makeshift shelters as they went. It takes only one man to defend himself against a lion with a sharp stick for that tribe to recognize its importance and because of these of moving the discovery spreads quickly. Whereas with the non migrating Neanderthals each tribe would have had to make this discovery by itself slowing innovation down drastically.
