I read that early in domestication, the domesticated animals are considered special and slaughtered for special occasions and wild game are the bulk of the meat in the diet. Later this shifts as the domesticated numbers increase as game becomes more scarce. Maybe at the sites you looked at those folks were in the latter phase?

@@_robustus_ Makes sense. I was thinking that it could be they hunted even when they didn't depend on it for survival any more. Like members of a modern family or friends will spend a week fishing and hunting on land that has been in the family for generations. Or a guy planning a weekend hunt all year. Groups could have also simply chosen not to stop living the way they did and continue with the hunter gatherer life style. Also the possibility of failing as farmers or being forced out by larger farming groups. Anyway, just my thoughts on it.

@Obiwank Keb34 Mostly they would have come to Europe for better grazing pasture and fertile soil for their crops. They would have continued Northwards pushing the hunter gatherers further and further North . The Inuit people of the Arctic are the last representatives of our hunter gatherer past and even some of these herd Reindeer, so are also farmers of sorts.

@louiechidwick6034 4 жыл бұрын

@Obiwank Keb34 Hi, Your valid points highlight the fact that there are more questions than answers, and the answers to why the early farmers expanded in the directions they did have been lost in the mists of time. The farmers would not have had it easy though, because lets not forget that this was the time that Doggerland was disappearing under the North sea and thousands of hunter gatherers were moving South into Europe, eventually becoming farmers themselves.

This makes me wonder if in these palaces there where grumpy hunter/ garther grandparents who said stuff like. "Your generation are so lazy!" "Oh fish god grandads off again" "Look at that goat. It walks right up to you." "In my day you'd have had to kill it out right or it would run for hours!" "We know grandad we know!" "Then you'd have to carry it back to the cave. Fighting of wolves... have you ever fought a pack of wolves carrying a fully grown deer on your back?" "No..." "Exactly lazy!" *Rolls eyes*

We mustn't dismiss hunter-gatherers as "stupid & primative." While they would have no clue how to use a cell phone, they could survive in the wild without any metal tools.

They were as smart as we are. They just grew up differently. But as you said they were able to survive in the wild with ease. People nowadays probably wouldn't last very long in the wild. HGs were also much healthier because they ate healthily, didn't sit 8+ hours a day, had no artificial light that messes up your circadian rhythm, no radiation etc..

@stephanieyee9784 2 жыл бұрын

There is no way HGs were stupid. They had survived Thousands of years through all sorts of climate changes, animals, other HG groups, learning to adapt to all types of conditions. And they Survived. Perhaps like the Neanderthal they were absorbed into the Anatolian farming communities and over just a handful of generations they were virtually extinct. I suppose that settles the Turkish/Greek argument.

Oral histories are harder to recall and are all but lost from the record. Typically the stories of the people you reference are told by the archeologists and anthropologists who take whatever scant information they can find and stuff it into the conventional narrative. How close that might be to the truth is anyone’s guess.

The Americas (North America in particular) is very overlooked in terms of prehistory. Contrary to popular belief that natives stayed in the same place for tens of thousands of years, plenty of migrations happened in prehistory. For example, the Powhatan and Wampanoag, both Algonquian peoples present on the Atlantic coast, migrated into Eastern North America from the Pacific Northwest (in the form of the Western Idaho Archaic Burial Complex in the West the Glacial Kame/Red Ocher Complex in the East) over 4,000 years ago, their ancestors entering the region in the first Millenium BC. This is just one example of a rich prehistory little people know about. This is in part due to the little amount of resources on the topic available to the public.

Interesting...in the village where I live in Northwestern Hungary some mesolitic tools were found and also a neolitic village. These artifects are mainly ín the collection of my neighbour's sister. On the shore of the river Danube a longhouse was also dug out. And of course graves... a lot of them. I dont wonder why mesolitic and neolitic people choosen this place. Danube and swamps around with great amount of fish, froges, snakes..., woods where they could hunt and gather. The hill around is out of limestone ( romans mined here later), furthermore our village is very proud of our warmwater springs which are also mineral water. The village called Dunaalmás which means "Applegarden by the Danube" so they maybe cultivated apple or other fruits as well. I am discovering the history of our village and I also love watching this chanel so its a good resource for my "study". Before I didn't really know that our land has such a wonderdul prehistory.

I don't know if you have but could you discuss Iberia in one of your videos, I've seen so many videos on Greece Carthage and Rome but what Iberia was like before their arrival and as they expanded into the Peninsula is rarely discussed, you'd think the western mediterranean would have many interesting cultures and people to discuss like the central and eastern end but it's a bit of a void in terms of content, sorry if my petition is a bit too recent history for your channel I'm unfamiliar with how late in history you like to cover.

I really appreciate how you state unknowns as just that. So often, others will make great leaps of certainty or if thin air.

You can track the neolithic farmers through time by way of stone biface hand axes ceremoniously buried near the intended colonization sites. Find and date that cache, and you've established when they moved into the area. If you take Maori mythology as history, they tell you those farmers colonized and conquered the Mediterranean Basin, then north through Europe, across Iceland and Greenland, to North then South America, and across the Pacific via Easter Island to New Zealand. Tall red haired light skinned, whereas all the hunter gatherer groups had been dark skinned and blue eyed. In almost all cases they simply integrated with the locals. If they couldn't heavily integrate, they simply conquered. CARTA has done some fantastic genetic studies concerning the movement of these various groups, giving an excellent confirmation to the archeology you mention in this video. The genetics show an almost complete replacement of the mesolithic populations with a very few pockets like the Basque or the Sardinians as remnant groups. Every time I hear of one of the hand axe caches being found, my interest is piqued and I have to see if it aligns with a "sudden" movement into a farming and villiage culture.

Makes me yearn for the days when the History Channel showed history. “I can’t understand why ratings are in the toilet. I got it!!!! Ice fucking Road Truckers and .... wait for it .... Ancient Aliens!!” I wonder how that went. Where was I? Oh, yeah. Great work! You spoil me.

Algunos grupos chichimecas (como se nombran en México de manera muy general a diversos grupos que habitan en el desierto) podían transitar de una forma de vida basada en la caza y recolección, al cutivo de la milpa (maíz, frijol y calabaza) y viceversa. Es interesante que el tránsito a la vida nómada, de nueva cuenta, tenía que ver con una decisión del grupo sobre cómo habitar el mundo

One can only imagine what might have felt the last hunter-gatherer while seeing his lifestyle had become obsolete, and how it might have felt being between becoming Neolithic or facing extinction

Read "Ishi", about the last Indian who wandered into a California ranch in the late 19th century and gave himself up. All his people were extinct. They treated him well, but he soon died of a Euro disease.

Thank you for this video, so enjoyable. The Greek's earliest tales say that the indigenous people didn't know how to use fire or make clothing until shown how to by the first wave of agriculturalized settlers. Check out "The story of the Greeks full audiobook" here on KZfaq, spcifically at about 4:00. Imagining such pivotal advances in human history makes my brain itch in a weirdly pleasurable way LOL

Very interesting videos, also your one on Paranthropus. Do you make a distinction between hunter gatherers and nomads, nomads being more advanced as they controlled their animals whereas hunter gatherers followed herds across the plains. Did nomads develop from hunter gatherers or were they people who started out as sedentary farmers but then decided to lead a nomadic lifestyle. Related to this question when is there evidence of slavery and to what extent was slavery a result of interaction between the conflicting interests of nomads and farmers?

I saw a documentary about Siberia, which showed that there were both nomadic reindeer herders, and hunter-gatherers who followed wild reindeer herds, coexisting in modern times. However, most have moved into miserable towns since soviet times.

”Stone age wars” happened and a male population bottleneck starting 7000 years ago that went on for about 2000 years. ”intense warfare between patrilineal clans killed off so many men, only one was left for every 17 women” Actually, hunter-gatherers are still around, they live partially isolated far north or around the equator.

What happened to them? Their descendants are still living on Earth today, nestled in the Dinaric Alps. We have the highest concentration of Haplogroup I2a2 in the entire world and the Gravettians possessed this, too. The gene also partly explains why we're disproportionately tall compared to our neighbors who are average-short in height.

//The gene also partly explains why we're disproportionately tall compared to our neighbors who are average-short in height\\ - the Y-chromosome haplogroup is not a 'gene' that determines human height. Western Hunter-Gatherers, who mostly carried I2, were (on average) not very tall people (at that time). They were taller than the (original) Early European Farmers, but shorter than the Eastern Hunter-Gatherers (who mostly carried R1b and R1a) and their partial descendants - the Western Steppe Herders.
