Jel znaš ti Stefane kako mi u Srbiji zovemo kad neko ima brkove? Brisači za kurac 😂😂🤣🤣

If you are going to do a video on H Erectus, your starting point should be how ridiculously overly broad a range of fossils that name is used to represent. To have so many widely divergent specimens classified as the same species is the gravest intellectual scandal in the field of Paleoanthropology.

Loved this video and your sense of humor!

Dear StefanMilo, We were taught at a young age to find LEMON GRASSES...This grass when the juices are extracted from these GRASSES this provides extremely effective mosquitoe repellent ..it grows everywhere and modern companies are now producing this product in a spray can. So maybe the neanderthal peoples used it. Yes I am indigenous, Rosebud, South Dakota Rez. 😊😎🤠🪶🦅🪶

The spoon was probably ceremonial

"Ofcourse the similarities between our modern day spoons and this specimen is completely incidental! Who would ever record the sound of their own eating! Gross!!!!"

The spoon was probably cerealmonial.

cult purposes...

And these pictures of them eating with said spoons is fake news at best

More like “here all weak” ... jk

You must be new here. Stick around you might learn something

Edit: I wasn’t trying to insinuate you aren’t intelligent, my comment was literal

He's basically the Anthony Fantano of anthropology, I love him

The best idea I ever had was to steal the best idea fantano had.

Stefan Milo you are standing on the shoulders of melon

That are exactly the reasons i suscribed to this chanel, couldn't say it better !

Hmmm and nobody is interested in archeology?

You're not the only one to ponder how the cloaca works. I've often wondered the same! A fantastic story to read on this sunny Monday morning.

Nabium Thanks for that.

Dude...you write very well!! I hope I find more comments like this.

Hey Nabium, I just wanted to say thanks for writing this little narrative! It was an enjoyable read :)

Nan Nabium, I imagine that you and Bilbo Baggins would get along wonderfully!

Thank you! Those are two things you'll never see on my channel (except to criticize).

This channel is borderline retarded : (....

Sleep with Stefan, the world's most consistently disappointing podcast.

I've heard that in Siberia the locals would wear a garland of certain plants around their necks to ward off mosquitoes.

@ Warren you could be right. But my question is how was it made? A lot of paints have a oil or grease base. Which would not be a sunblock. As a old sun worshipper, oils was used to get more than sun. In essence cooking oneself. Now with that said. They could have very well cooked themselves with oils or grease. This would be two fold. It would tan thier skin so the sun didn't burn them. Also tanned skin repeals mosquito, due to it Harding the skin.

That's fascinating. The first body paint I'd presume was mud, and I've used mud to prevent sunburn and mosquitoes. Lots of hair helps, fire and smoke are awesome for mosquitoes, but you want something portable. There are plants that 'work' if you crush and smear, but mosquitoes are very hungry. Face paint may have been the first chemical technology and the first art form, and the first passport.

Maybe the zebra stripes just mess with the minds of some predators .

@@casteretpollux like dazzle painting? that would be cool, I wonder if that has been looked into

na pal its a optical ilusion to confuse what ever is chasing the zebra thats why thay are like that its the ultime defence trick many have it like lizzards etc etc ya cock

When I was a child my family raised white-face Hereford cattle but switched breeds because of the problem of flies around their eyes. I really missed those smaller, gentler, tastier critters.

Mic on the spoon? - Just one more H. Sapiens innovation.

itrollunoob hello there! There are plenty of these sort of finds, but know that it can be quite tricky for archaeologists to know for sure somebody accidentally forgot something at a certain place. For a lot of cultures it was very common to throw away valuable objects (like swords, shields, jewelry, tools,...) near well knows places of the landscape (like the main river, a swamp, a cave,...) for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they did this to please their gods and to get a better social status in their community. But of course many archaeological finds are items that have been forgotten. A good example that comes to mind is La Hoguette/Limburg/begleit pottery that was found at places in archaeologists didn’t expect to find them. When the linear pottery culture (LBK) farmers settled in Belgium they only wanted to live on the Loess soil in Central Belgium. One here we found their settlements and all the artefacts of this culture. One mystery however is the La Hoguette/Limburg/begleit pottery. This kind of pottery looks very different from the pottery the LBK culture is knows for across Europe, yet it has been found on belgian LBK sites and in regions far away from these settlements in regions where they had little to find. There’s an interesting theory that they were left there by hunter-gatherers who had contact with the LBK farmers, and that there might have been some sort of trade between the two groups. Maybe the hunter gatherers were given this pottery by the farmers, maybe they stole it, maybe they were thought how to make pottery themselves (which explains the different decorations and shapes) by the farmers in exchange for service (knowledge of the region, help with herding the farm animals, wild plants and meat,....). This is an example of something (pottery) that has been found in strange places (places where only hunter-gatherers lived, who up until then didn’t have any pottery) and we found this because they forgot them or threw them away because the pottery was broken. I hope this is an interesting answer for you! More information: Ceramics before farming, the dispersal of pottery among prehistoric eurasian hunter-gatherers by Peter Jordan and Marek Zvelebil. Here you’ll find a lot more information and arguments for and against this theory.

WYERIVER00 thank you for your super insightful answer!

As every sane person would, well said

Thank you, yeah I do try to hesitate to use it. In the case of what they thought was sacrilegious, that's such a complicated concept to articulate without writing.

HerrGesetz in the Flores island there is no chance of freezing for tens of thousands of years... that's my opinion.

@@Alarix246 Indeed, no chance at all. Interesting to know what the bald guy with the plastic spoon thinks about floresiensis in general though.

@@HerrGesetz With floresiensis I think a lot depends on just what their level of cognitive abilities were. Brain size while of some importance in my opinion is less important than complexity and internal connectivity. The worlds smallest living woman is approximately 24 inches tall and weighs 12 pounds. Yet she has full mental abilities. To me this proves that the Hobbits could have well been capable of levels of mental abilities on par with their Homo Erectus cousins. Who most likely weren't as dumb as some in the general population think. We can thank the "cave man" charactures for that

Oh you get lost and lots of flies in cold climates. I live in northern Northern Newfoundland and in summer, if it's not windy, it can be awful.

I've been to the tropics and I can say that I've experienced more mosquitos in my moore filled homeland of northwest Sweden

I was hoping someone like you would come along. To be honest i'm relieved, I was worried it might be something really nationalistic.

eels are or were quite a good source of food and other resources in the old days, so it could be an indication the commenter was a wealthy fisherfolkster

It's a Montey Python reference. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arR-oJShlr-RiIU.html

It wasnt frozen all year long south of the glaciers.

Wasnt homo erectus around for like a million years?

Yeah, invented and refined the mother of all stone tools: Acheulean Hand axes! Also they produced both h. Heidelbergensis and Neanderthals.
