Seeing Baby Faced Hank progress to Modern Hank is like a journey through personal evolution.

how meta that your compilation of evolution lectures depicts the evolution of hank's style and maturity.

These compilations of old videos always getting my fascinated by the evolution of Hank's voice, and the evolution of Michael's hair.

Since human pubic lice are different to head lice but similar to gorilla lice, presumably the "romantic" relations between our ancestors and gorillas took place after hominids lost their body hair (thereby keeping the two species separate and localised. Just thought I'd throw that in there to make the whole thing even creepier.

Humans picked up what became pubic lice by probably sleeping in and around abandoned gorilla nests. Earlier humans wanted the same fruit resources that other primates also wanted, and would essentially wait their turns to get at them and thereby utilize their old nests because it was convenient to do so.

Another trait that evolution took from us is the ability to synthetise vitamin C: several million years with an abundance of the latter in fruits made the fore unneeded.

lol that's so interesting how hank's presentation of videos has changed over the years. He used to joke much more back then.

We have already evolved an organ which spits venom. It's called Twitter.

Personally, I wish someone would talk about all the evolutionary pressure humans experience with regard to being able to drive competently ... if we only could get another 2,000,000 years of practice, we'd probably get quite good at it. :)

“… humans don’t need to be smart to survive” is soooo understated 🤣

Hmm. Goatee Hank is offering some of the most cursed information I’ve ever learned about early humans. Thank you, past Hank.

Hank aged (evolved) quite a bit over 4 minutes.

Well, this video shows how progress is often a chaotic process and not a simple line - but nevertheless there's been clear progress! Just look at the hair 👀 Also - Hank learned to pronounce Denisovans! Denise - ovanns, remember yo who heard him say DenisÓvans 😜 Happy December y'all! With love from Denmark 🤗

To any interested linguist: If you insist on the German pronunciation "Neandertaler": pronounce "Neander-" like "Hey flunder", and the "a" in "-tal" as you would pronounce the "a" in "far". We do not write the "h" in modern German when refering to the hominid, only the place. The "-er" suffix signifies the hominid as well, meaning "man from Neanderthal"

4:12 what's weird is that I have been watching for years and think this is the first time I have ever seen you with a beard

6:40 our ancestors probably considered other "primates" in a similar way modern pet dogs consider each other breed

I want to spend my afterlife eternity listening to Hank Green, so that one day I will be almost as educated.

"primate police lineup" great name for a band

14:00 Some light receptors have been identified in human retinae that link to the pineal gland through some basal ganglia and relate to melanin production and to circadian and seasonal rhythms.

~20:00 We also lost our ability to make our own vitamin C. Plenty of fruit was around so we did not need to make our own.

The age old quest to answer the question- "who's your daddy?" continues.

I love "Dread Pirate Roberts" Hank from video 2. Also I don't need a 3rd eye to sense the sun with the top of my head, I can feel the heat of the Sun's rays on my scalp.

I feel like we should evolve our way of discussing Neanderthals since some cross bred with humans. With the most recent branches of the tree of life, i think we should start embracing the merging of certain groups more. the river basin of life

I can't believe no one has made one of these maps of man images with oreopithecus carrying a bag of oreos or dryopithecus carrying a towel and umbrella.

I think this video is more showing the evolution of Hank!

Oreopithecids died out because of its over-fondness for a certain type of futuristic cookie!

"Oh, s^. There goes the planet." - _Spaceballs_

The commercial right after he said ‘here is the future of human evolution’ was for the movie Blue Beetle 😂

"Primate Police Lineup" is the funniest line I've ever heard on this channel.

Neanderthal was not what the cave was called. The cave was in Germany in the Neander Thal, thal meaning valley. The Neander Valley. Interestingly, Neander was a 17th century German composer who the valley was named after. The sir name was orginally Neumann meaning "new man".

HUMAN EVOLUTION

I love compliations :D I get set up with snacks and enjoy watching Hank youth and age before my eyes as we recap all the amazing things SciShow has taught us on the subject at hand, over the years :) Compliations FTW!

You see, i've seen dog tried to hump a pig. Dog tried to hump a tiger. My dog tried to hump my leg. My friend's dog tried to hump my leg. Macaque tried to hump a tree. I kinda think that back when we (or our ancestors) were more "wild", we probably had the same "if it fits, it fits" mentality. But that lice still caught me off guard like wtf.

Hank with the beard looks like a comic villain.

if we don't get our poop together (and soon), I suspect we are about to become an evolutionary deadend

I really wish we hadn't lost our tails though.. That'd be so cool to be able to use one. Can you imagine not having to do that thing you do to get something while lying in bed without actually getting out of bed? No more crawling as far as possible without letting your feet leave the mattress!

Personally, I found the evolution of HANK to be one of the weirdest parts of this video!!!

I’ll join in. Hank just showed us the evolution of an actual living specimen.

Apparently getting a haircut counts as a step forward in evolution according to the 6 easy steps.

In the future people will no longer have five fingers on each hand. They will have a thumb, but the other four fingers will fuse so the hand will resemble a mitten. This will be an evolutionary adaptation to help us better hold a beer can.

A steady diet of oreos is an evolutionary dead end.

"Humans... come in two distinct flavors that make our existence possible. Teaching the history of our development with only one sex is like trying to eat sushi with only one chopstick. You're just not gonna get it all." Academia about the evolution and me about the sushi: "Challenge accepted. "

The Borg is our future. 'Resistance is futile.' 🤖

Sex talk Hank looks like he came straight out of a 90's hacker movie lmao. I dig it.

What about the stoned-ape theory?! With all the research into the effects of psilocybin on the brain, specifically in the case of increasing malleability and plasticity, it's very interesting to consider the effects magic mushrooms may have had on the evolution of the human brain and how we were able to jump ahead of other species in ways that one could attribute to mushrooms like greater communication with the increase of the areas in the brain related to seeing images in your mind and vocal and hearing areas where we can hear and say words that we could then better relate to the pictures we see in our heads. And once we start exercising those areas of the brain with more and more complicated speech, it's not terribly difficult to see how that could eventually lead to our brains being capable of questioning the universe and the self and the concept of higher and greater powers etc. This also then leads to an interesting idea considering the great filter and the fermi paradox. If we consider the stoned ape theory is correct... then thats another HUGE filter and roadblock in the fermi paradox that helps explain how the unviverse can be so huge, but seeminly so void of higher or more intelligent life. We had to get lucky enough that an organism even existed that could supercharge our brains but then also, that we might venture into the area where they existed and then have the curiosity to even try them and then, understand that even though they are technically poison and upset out bellies etc, that they provided a desirable effect or experience that encouraged the consumption of them in enough quantities and over a long enough period of time to have the necessary effect of super charging our brains. The more and more I consider the great filter and the fermi paradox the more and more I'm leaning towards humans maybe being the only intelligent life that currently exists within the concept of time in our universe and/or just how much more difficult FTL travel may be.

I love your channel. Evolution doesn't stop because we have no evidence of it. The way the process of natural selection was presented in this video left much to be desired. There was just the one spot where you stumbled. And this is the first time I've seen that. This is a very broad and difficult to explain subject and you've done the best job I've seen. That's why I'm commenting

Wait since when did we all assume brain size directly correlates to intelligence?

Ilove spiders as much as I despice mosquito's we had a spider in the kitchen a few years ago, we called her Sebastian, and I collected pillbugs for her, It was fun to see her change throughout the months.

“And also, I would like to have *venom*, thank you very much”- Ah, feral science-man wants to be able to maim his victims with a single bite. Myes, relatable my dear sir, relatable

"Here's where evolution is going." Shows TikTok ad. That's about right.

I like that this video also showcases the evolution of the host

"Sloppy or inaccurate dating" sounds like my 20s.

I love how there’s not one scientific comment, we all just gush over hank

I was always taught that the exchange of pubic lice between gorillas and early humans was likely from early humans sleeping in abandoned gorilla nests

my parents bought nearly every Time-Life book ever published! i looked at that book and four page foldout progression maybe a hundred times. This was long before i could read. Lisdexic don't you know!?!:-)

21:19 We might not have venom but a human bite can be quite nasty on its own, because of all the bacteria we have in there. Not as bad as those from a komodo dragon but still something be cautious about...

Young hank with the goatee was so uncomfortable with talking, now he is the smooth science man we all love.

Since genetic features/progress are what we care about/matter in evolution, why isn’t the evolutionary walk picture based on the features we think mattered most at the time for survival vs bodies from the time (that often get misidentified/miscatagorized anyway)?

'God made man, the monkeys applied the glue!'

The band DEVO previously covered this subject in the late seventies............. Thank you

“And probably you.” That’s funny, Hank!

For the people who edit these. Is it strange to see 4 different versions of Hank in the same video

I love this video simply because of the progression of hank through life!

therapist: beard hank can't hurt you Beard Hank {exist}

“life, uh, finds a way.”

I thought that there was a video from SciShow with a theory that homonyms could have gotten pubic lice from gorillas due to " Nest Sharing" a homonym sleeping in a preoccupied gorilla bed.

The assumption that Australopithecus was having sex with gorillas, as opposed to gorillas having sexual with Australopithecus is interesting.

20:16 viewing the behaviours of the current world population* I'm pretty sure it means *exactly* that **)* Yes I do know the first reply to this is that this includes myself as well and yes that's completely correct: _"I'm a dumbass myself as well"_

My husband is one of those 1 in 4, and has a lot of GI problems with processed foods. Gee, wonder why!

Hank look overly happy when he talked about the number of poisons we have created

I don't get why there is controversy over whether we can detect pheromones. My understanding is that the sweet smell of a newborn baby prompts the production of the bonding hormone and makes us more protective of it. That's right - your baby is practicing mind control over you.

Hank Green is a pernicious meme

"NO NO WHY DID WE LOOK INTO THIS...."...Freaking Hilarious😄😂😂

I know it would look freaky at first, but I’ve always thought an extra set of arms and hands would definitely be useful! Also compared to other mammals our eyesight and hearing is quite poor. It be great to have those senses boosted.

If we regain the ability to detect electricity better, Fluke multimeteres won't be as popular.

OMG is that Hank at 4:04??? Wow!

Goatee John can't hurt you he isn't real. Goatee John : ...

hard to imagine how we survived with pretty much no natural weapons and paper thin skin, surviving purely on intellect, wouldn't you need obscene amounts of time and peace to change that drastically? without actual peace how would you "devolve" your fangs, claws and hides? why are we so weak compared to everything else?

The other thing about neandertals is that they may have preferred homosapien women, and neandertal women may have preferred homosapien men, and if both offspring turned out to be mules, the would only exist for a short generation or two and the sterility wouldn't prevent the parents from having offspring, so it could have been a matter of being compatible, but only up to a point, homosapiens share a neandertal history in our genetics, but not many neanderdals are present to say they have a portion of our homosapien genes to argue the point.

I actually visited the Neandertal once! The "-tal"-part is German for valley. There is a museum and everything.

9:26 Me: Yep. Okay, sure, I’m with you. Wait can you say that whole thing again? But really, I was quite lost by this explanation 🙈

4:51 “You do it, then, if you’re so clever,” Ron snarled.

I found a dog louse on a patient and put it under the microscope to creep out my co-workers who sleep with their dogs. I can’t wait ‘till I get to tell them about the gorilla lice!

We still can do electro detection, we use a voltmeter r for it, that was way more easy then plugging a probe in the hole between our eyes. Besides that we still can detect voltages with our body, if you do not believe me, try grabbing bare wires carrying 110 imperial volts or 230V metric volts. If you do, this then proves Darwin was right, congratulations to you and condoleances to your family

We have people that are considered super smellers and super tasters, so I wonder if the super smellers still have a partially functioning Jacobsons organ?🤔 Our brains are getting smaller hmmmm? There are so many jokes for this. I guess in the future being called a pinhead will be a compliment. I probably should have been thanking all the people over the years that have called me that.🤪

Where is the petition to get Hanks goatee back?

Sooooo, our ancestors got busy with anything that even remotely looked like us, and we're still at it.🤔

Hank's voice apparently used to be somewhat nasal, but he always did talk with his hands.

21:14 "QUICK LUZ! , START MELTING FACES!"

Almost 13 full minutes before someone other than Hank shows up. Have a particular love for this topic? 😂

I think facial hair Hank was the hottest of the collection. 😅

Hank wants venom- definitely not gonna cut in front of him in line. And he looked so nice.....💀

A rare appearance of Evil Hank to tell us how early humans had sex in the mirror universe.

Can not get enough of you guys. Keep pumping out them videos!!

I like seeing evil Hank with the goatee.

Average female weight in the USA went up 4lbs~2kgs between 2015 and 2020. Have a feeling it's going to keep going up and in 10yrs it'll be around 200lbs

I noticed long ago that Michael's voice audio had post-processing done in the older videos but in later videos it has not been done. I prefer the natural audio of his voice.

Very interesting compilation... Brilliant...

Hank, this episode, you remind me of bad boy Peter Parker Toby McGuire.

how will culture effect the future of human evolution?
