It's so interesting to think that it all ACTUALLY happened. Like this wall with hands - omg people made it, someone made it, it's not just a picture on the internet, it really happened. Those people were alive just like we are, they are not just our imagination. Amazing.... I love science.

Yeah I thought the wall of hands was the craziest part of this. Kinda like they really wanted some part of their experience to stick around, maybe for other people to find a long time later and think "that's cool" and look--it worked, millions of people are looking at those same hands hundreds of thousands of years later and thinking "wowza." Those were actual people too--so many people have gone before us and paved the way for an easier life for their descendants.

​@@evanbrendeThat idea of people wanting to leave a mark behind, it makes me think of when you see graffiti people have left in places like "John was here" or something. That innate human desire to tie down a memory and leave something that others might discover, I don't know if it's a desire for a sense of legacy, or to make a memory feel more permanent or wanting to reach out to people in the future but it provokes a profound sense of connection and empathy across the eons. Like we are so different now and yet there are still innate things that make us similar.

​​@@lukewormholes5388I think the only evidence that cavemen do for fun is cave paintings. And competitions in the past are not for fun, it was meant for survival. Dancing, I don't know if it's meant for fun or attracting for a mate. No storytelling because their language hasn't been developed yet. No religion because it hasn't been invented yet because you cannot contemplate life when you're fighting for survival. Maybe kids games existed back in those days, but there are not much evidence on what it is. Fun is limited when you are fighting for survival, the world is harsh after all.

I agree, because if you want to continue to narrow it down further and further, even to the point of relatively minor genetic differences, you can always continue to find another gap, and another gap, the gap just continues to get smaller and smaller each time. Creationists love to use this ridiculous argument all the time. No matter how complete the evolutionary tree of life ends up getting, they will continue to concentrate on the gaps and point to a creator. (the god of the gaps)

When discussing the cave paintings, it occurred to me that often times people underestimate how intelligent past humans already were.

Had they received the same education as we are able to today, they would just fit into modern day society no problem!

I am not an expert but I have read a bit on the subject. So the first thing is… they probably didn’t have to deal with it a lots in their life. Food was scarce, so they had regular occurrences of secondary amenorrhea, then when food supply was better and they were fertile again, boom, pregnant for 9months and then breastfeeding for 3-5years which will suppress periods for a time too (sometimes the entire time). But when they actually had their period, either free flow of it was a hotter climate, or a rag/moss/dry leaves in a colder climate, as it is still done in some parts of the world. Of course, this is all speculations, but those are things that are known about populations that, even recently, had no access to modern hygiene products.

I absolutely LOATHE the fact we’re censoring curse words in videos now.

If someone gets upset by hearing a "curse word", I tell them to get over it. If someone gets upset that a "curse word" was censored, I tell them to get over it.

It’s an educational video; seems pretty understandable they want it to be appropriate for curious kids.

UKposts will demonetize videos if curse words are used. That's why many content creators are using alternate words or phrases to replace them too.

@@AlbertaGeekI know that’s written to be clever, but I’d argue that getting upset over a word and censoring have different short and long term societal effects. But it’s really interesting that you also feel enough superiority over people to tell them what to “get over”.

Great video. I used to think of human evolution as linear too but when he explained it with the map it all makes more sense. I can think about it intuitively now. Very fascinating stuff.

i love this video! I wanted to do paleoanthropology back at the end of high school in 2013, but only 2 unis in australia did it at the time, and i didnt have the marks for it. i'll always find anthropology and palaeoanthropolgy so interesting!

The internet has given the absolute dumbest segment of the population a megaphone. See also climate change deniers, 9/11 truthers, and people who can't cope with the fact that Trump lost the 2020 election.

Not really. Unfortunately they don’t hire real experts and instead hire radical Leftists who present radical left wing nonsense as “factual”. The same kind of Leftist idiots who got everything about Covid wrong even though Conservatives warned them right at the beginning that they were wrong but they insisted on doubling down.

Evolution is not an escalator but a branching tree. People back then liked the idea that humans were the most highly evolved, but it’s not like the goal of all species is to turn into humans. We are all placed equally.

What did caveman do for fun? If we answer with the modern conception of fun, i.e. entertainment, then Dr Steven answered that perfectly, but if we widen the lens a bit, I'd say they probably tumbled about, wrestled, took walks, possibly pranked each other, groomed each other, definitely gossiped if we're talking late enough for language to be a thing and so on.
