We Indigenous Turtle Islanders have stories of having to outrun the last ice age. It is said if you didn't move out of its way you froze in place. Here on the west coast of British Columbia we have the story of a great flood and a great whale saved us.

It's interesting that they keep referring to her as a child. In this time, this age, when humans probably only lived to their mid-20s, she would have been considered middle aged. She likely had one, or maybe more, children of her own.

@jhhggygghchdlfyggxzgdltfugc Жыл бұрын

The low average life expectancy was greatly influenced by high infant mortality. Plenty of those who survived infancy would reach their 40s and 50s. A few would reach ages we would recognise as elderly today, depending on the environment they were in and their luck. It's also likely humans developed into adulthood slower than today because of dietary constraint. Only populations with access to as much high energy food as they wanted, for minimal cost in time and effort, would develop physically at the accelerated rate of people eating an industrialised diet.

I'm always suspicious when scientists make blanket statements based on one or a few specimens. The way one person looks doesn't necessarily mean everyone looked like that. Having signs of malnutrition doesn't mean all of the people with her were "new" to the area. It means she was. It also could be another sign of abuse that was identified in other areas of her skeleton.

Hmmm as an archeologyst this documentary is amazing 🥰 the onlie thing i liked to add that being deprived of protein is not always and indicator of a new enviroment. Because maybe in winter they cant get their protein they ate less and were malnourished. But ancient archeology is not my specialty but in later ages that is for sure ☺️

Would have liked to have seen research on the animal bones. When the documentary started,my first thought was this was a ceremonial cave burial. I don’t think Nyah would have been alone in a dangerous jungle. She could have escaped slavery or been shunned. It almost looked as if rope was needed to enter the cave even 13 centuries ago. Did they not say other human bones were there? I must of missed something. Food for thought.

Science & public opinion can suffer from biases especially from percieved cultural "histories".

I look forward to new discoveries myself.

This doco is afflicted by the usual use of constant over dramatic music , the sort that is used in epics, why is it that directors have to accompany every second of footage with doom laden portentous music, accompanied by doom laden voiceovers ? it gets right on my tits. Just because is now easy to add music cheaply from formulaic programs that give you gigabytes of options at your fingertips doesn't mean you have to use them all constantly !!!!!!! The basic rule of filmaking is ' less is more " . Increasingly docos resemble feature films in their choice of music. there must be hundreds of changes in music in this doco and its a merciful relief when the sodding background music stops for just a few seconds.

So they found two 11,000 year old infants in Alaska and from that made the leap that it was the same people who originally crossed over 20,000 years ago. Sounds suspect to me. What about the primitive robust skull of the 16 year old girl and others? I'm sure there were different waves of immigrants who killed or drove off earlier migrants, just like how the Inuit replaced the Thule peoples who replaced the Dorset peoples in the Arctic.
