The spear is a superior weapon, from mere sharpened sticks down through the ages to even a bayonet on an automatic rifle.

Not just some people have Neanderthal DNA, unless a person is 100% african, they'll have some of that. I'm a mixed race brazilian and I got that DNA too. I love just how this fact messes with the preconceptions of "purity". Nature really doesn't give a rat's to that.

I’m 2.5% Neanderthal, and I’m mostly Danish, Swedish, and English

Girl what’s with the “they” instead of “we”? Are you not human?😂

The stone axe was also a powerful tool for early humans. Not only for killing, but also for tool making.

Funny how our aggressiveness (one of the things that gave us an edge over other builds) is also our weakspot

Something most people don't think about is that humans are also able to throw objects better than any animal. A simple sling with a stone could amplify that power even more making it a brutally effective weapon. 10-20 people with slings and rocks (plus spears) would have been more than sufficient to take on mid size game.

I feel like you’d be that friend that has an answer to any question. Which would be really cool 😅

@MatthewTheWanderer

I got a test from 23 and Me, but they didn't test for Neanderthal DNA back then, so I don't know how much Neanderthal I am. I just know I am mostly British, French, and German.

I personally have around 1700 neanderthal genes. That is almost universal among populations that developed outside of sub-saharan Africa. Some have less, but an average is a bit higher than my number, afaik.

After spears, some people developed and used the Atlatl to increase the power and distance that they could impart on the spears. It’s a really interesting weapon and I’ve used one before. It’s definitely not an easy thing to get the hang of, let alone be accurate enough to hunt with it. It was definitely an interesting and eye opening experience though.

Yeah, that’s true. Our ancient ancestors LITERALLY ran down their prey. All of the animals were way faster but could only run for so long. Early humans could just keep running at a job until the animal either died from exhaustion or couldn’t get away. That combined with our ability to stand up meant we could see much farther in front of us instead of down at the ground making threat recognition easier at further distances. The next trait that set humans apart is the ability to throw accurately. That allowed them to use rocks as defense against predators from a further distance.

What the tierzoo completely left out is differences in the immune systems of neanderthals and sapiens. Reacting different to "new" diseases and threats to your health can have a huge impact on survival of a species.

@Soladrin Жыл бұрын

For weapons, I believe it would be the atlatl, a tool that greatly increases the distance you can throw a spear/javelin.

@Buck1096 Жыл бұрын

The "atlatl" would be a good example of the progression of weapons at that time it was one of the first ranged weapons and it evolved out of throwing a spear.

@thewhat6219 Жыл бұрын

My first theory was that the neanderthal were charmed, but thinking on it further, maybe they just took more energy to "run", and they had a real cost heavy "build".

You seem like such a beautifully thoughtful person. I have really been enjoying your reaction videos. Keep up the great work!

@nashtrucker Жыл бұрын

I think I've watched the vast majority of your reaction videos and can confidently conclude that you are a pretty awesome person.

I love game lingo, it was what got me into leaning/ and now speaking English, it played a crucial role in The formative years. I'd say gamify learning is the most efficient XP grind I've ever come across
