Can't belive this channel isn't way more popular.

The modern perception of humans as staunch individualists is pure Hollywood. Humans have succeeded by working together. Conflicts are common amongst animals and humans are no different, but even then, successful humans have banded together to best overcome food scarcity, establish territorial security, and make amazing tools, structures, and art. When I learned about the Neanderthal flute of ~40,000 years ago, I began to rethink my perceptions of humans and realized I knew next to nothing about US, our shared history of millions of years. Thank you for shedding more light on this exciting and rarely explored time in ancient human history.

The World Tree ‘religion’ appears to have originated with Neanderthals. There is evidence of World Tree tradition in caves (Western Europe) dated to 176,000 years ago-circle made from broken stalagmites and then set on fire. Also, there is evidence this ‘religion’ was ‘inherited’ by modern humans from cultural interaction in such places as Wellendorf. The Venus of Wellendorf is Mother Sun and the World Tree-concentric circles leading to the Sun. Neanderthals are massively undervalued and misunderstood. Thankfully, this injustice is being remedied.

oh boy, i'm currently in the process of mentally preparing for my first try on levallois, i got 4 nice cores i can use, a fresh, six-point red-deer antler and my flaking is, i'd say, decent, but somehow it's just intimidating. Mad props to our cousins for mastering this.

Sea Levels were up to 400 feet lower just 17,000 years ago; so distances between different coastal or land areas differed. This sea level difference has been even less at times. Without checking in books, I can't say dates; however, almost the entire Mediterranean was dry at some points. This means travel between some coastal points and islands today were actually foot journeys for either the entire distance or almost the entire distance. Indicates the need for experts in one field to coordinate their findings and theories with experts in others.

Great information

❤ I love to hear

Your channel is great, just subscribed.

The shared need for multipurpose tools (for piercing, paring, gutting, chopping...) naturally favours the Levallois technique. A comparable convergence happened when Jim Bowie, unaware of earlier frontiersmen, unwittingly reinvented the sax for which the Saxons were named.

The Neanderthals invented a type of epoxy glue from pine sap and other ingredients.It wasn't equalled until synthetic epoxy glue was invented.

The history of the hominid genus is incredibly long and deep. Wooden structures built over 400,000 years ago show that mankind has been designing frameworks before homo sapiens had appeared (at least so far; new studies on teeth show that Neanderthal and Sapien branched off 800,000 years ago but we have no skeletons to date yet). Denisovans were drilling jade 80,000 years ago. The Earth is covered in similarly-designed earthquake-proof polygonal megalithic stone masonry whose origin cannot be settled on by the historic and scientific communities. Our historical chronologies beyond 6,000 years are all considered myths and legends despite the fact that we have dated locations over 10,000 years (Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, Boncuklu Tarla) and we have insanely precise ruins on every continent, even islands like Rapa Nui. No documented nation or empire ever cut basalt, granite, or conglomerate quartzite except those that came before ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Babylon. The dynastic records of our ancient civilizations in this modern day used sandstone, limestone, mud bricks, and loose stones; none of them had tools to design polygonal masonry. I've read so many things about history. Debunked myths, religious dossiers, dissertations on political mechanics, scientific analysis of OOPARTs and ancient sites, and so much more. I have an avid fascination with history and how many times our species has tried to rewrite it. I am not special, I'm an average Joe. I am just endlessly curious and analytical. I have been waiting for someone to build a polygonal wall with stones 1.5+ tons and don't see it. With all the money, material wealth, and specialty our modern engineers have today they STILL can't still polygonal walls like the ancients did. The Neanderthal, and Denisovan, taught us as much as we taught them. I believe that before the Toba Volcano cataclysm we had a world civilization; we traded in technology and revered the sun, the stars, and the Earth. We had a powerful geodetic knowledge base and built based on sacred geometrical relationships between the sky and the Earth. We utilized natural science to harness the Earth's resonant frequencies (Schumann Resonances, 0-40 hertz EM fields) through electromechanical oscillation using basalt to conduct the Schumann Resonance, granite to harmonize and undergo reverse piezoelectric effects (harmonized vibrations of 8 hertz can amplify to 40,000 with the right conditions), and limestone to insulate the resulting EM flows. The Pyramids were a functional technology, and had been rebuilt many times because mankind has risen up many times. We are the LAST iteration of hominids left. After a 10,000,000 year stint on this world our genus is about to go extinct...and we (collectively) do not even know where we came from, how advanced we used to be, or what LIFE really is. I bet our ancestors kenw who/what we were, and it wasn't this primal state we find ourselves in today.

Is that Mike Tyson in a wig?

Does mike tyson know you used his picture for a neanderthal?

My cousin can do that

The youth would .untenable to the elders to pick up knowledge today that does not happen so much knowledge goes to the grave today humans have reached their evolutionary peak

👍👍👍🙏

Not that you care but Those of us without perfect hearing cant follow your soft voice with the back ground music BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

Lies! The lord never created such filth

“And barring an outside influence “(meaning education on flintknapping lessons from extraterrestrial intelligence?… C’mon… 11:27 minutes it seems that this is an implied notion.
