Wow this video is significantly popular than my videos typically are! As with all my videos I'm very open about the sources I use to get this information, you can find them in the description. I always use sources that were written by academics in the field. Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it? Next vids in the Neanderthal series will be out in the next 2 weeks and will be about: - How smart were the Neanderthals? - Why did the Neanderthals die out?

According to recent information, early Neanderthal that have been found in Israel and other locations were more like us (height and build) than the later European Neanderthals found in Neander Valley in France. Which could mean regional variation played a role in a similar way that Eskimos differ from warm climate modern humans (Inca or Myan). Also, a large amount of new fossil evidence has been found recently and it continues to be found all over the Eurasian continent. The assumptions made today will change tomorrow.

@Herbal Shaman They actually most likely had a similar range of skin, hair, and eye color tones to what we have. Some had genes for red hair and light eyes. Such traits are very uncommon in people with a particularly dark skin tone. Basically, we would probably not really think they stood out as much as we once thought they did. I mean.. I remember them being depicted as stupid slow grunting hairy ape-like brutes not all that long ago. (Notably that was before we found out we interbred with them...)

Almost the same size height. I've seen bigger difference in sizes between 2 humans than would exist between an average human and neanderthal. I've seen women shorter than 5 ft with guys over 6 ft, Which would equal a short Neanderthal with a tall human. And there are guys who are at the height of a neanderthal who are with women who are much taller than the guy. I suppose we have that "variation desire". It's the larger eyes and nose which would be the obvious thing when they are face to face. You can crossbreed a tiny dog with a very large dog and the size difference between them are much bigger than there between humans and neanderthals. I've seen Labrador Terrier pups.

Recent excavations have uncovered an individual that possess the fine facial features common to homo sapiens sapiens, but which are older than Heidelbergensis and discovered I believe in North Africa. The distinguishing characteristic of these individuals is in a cell program or a gene rather, which caused cells in dermal tissue and muscle to re-uptake calcium from bone deposits in the skull and other skeletal parts if necessary, after it had already been laid down as bone. This resulted in the lack of excessive brow ridges as we see in most other hominidae and in our close cousins who do not have the gene for the re-uptake of calcium or the same genetic control of how much calcium is laid down as bone e.g. conspicuously as brow ridges.

Absolutely they lived in Europe where Dwarf mythology originated. There physical description is the same. Dwarves were believed to live under ground. Neanderthals lived in caves. Highly intelligent but never very numerous. There are far to many similarity's for there not to be a link. Just like the hobbits found on the island of Flores in Indonesia. The locals had myths about the little people who used to live there long ago. A myth based on something real. Has the tendency to survive in tribal memory for ever. Humans have a genetic memory. When something imprints on use in a profound way. We carry it on from generation to generation. Kinda like a natural fear of snakes or spiders. Even dragons are the embodiment of every predator blended together. That early human ancestors had to watch out for.

@@Philrc You need to read your mythology. There is absolutely a standard definition of dwarves. Along with all mythical creatures.

The idea that ancient people were primitive and there for ignorant as you suggest is false. These people were more intelligent then we are in many ways. So it is ridicules to think that stories could not have been passed down for millennia just like hunting and fishing Technics. I find it funny how scientist will come in contact with isolated peoples and claim they have traditions which survived for tens of thousands of years. Yet the peoples of ancient Europe are equated to ignorant troglodytes.

In my opinion, Neanderthals evolved from a process called punctuated equilibrium than by sympatric speciation with other proto Homo species to become who they are now: Neanderthal. Also, their postorbital bar surrounding their orbital (eyes) is an old trait just like their large rib cage and no chin. That are modern human features. Interesting videos thought, thanks for sharing!

Pizza was invented by the romans though. It was one of the very first "fast foods". Also when you think of flat bread pizza that is not how the originals were and not how they are in places like Strega in South Italy. You are more thinking of the American style crispy pizza. Original Pizza had just four ingredients, bread dough, tomato, oregano, and either a little garam, or if you were less skint, finely chopped pork pieces. This was all mixed together and put in a ceramic tray about 2 inches (5 ish CM) deep. The finished product was then sold in blocks or squares. The original pizzas were rectangular not round (to save space in the ovens) and cheese was added extremely recently and then only to "stick" the ingredients to the top when this became the fashion in New York.

Seeing as how evolution is so slow and gradual in most cases of hominid evolution, it's going to be hard to nail down a certain species in a certain area at a certain time. Any common ancestors, would also continue to breed with members of both. (Probably even all 3 of the splintering species for a significant time).

According to Occam's Razor, it makes more sense to theorize "antecessor" hominids evolved into Neanderthals in Europe, through naturally adaptive selection of survivors with greater brains, to cope with the cold, rather than speculating that such a similar primitive hominid migrated into Europe again, when the climate warmed back up.

there have been examples of natural elongated skulls which did not go through cranial deformation. they also lack saggital sutures, and have their spine a bit back. some elongated skulls were found in some ancient sites, along with false elongated skulls(gone through cranial deformation) dating back to a later time period. maybe people back then, wanted to imitate these large heads and cranially deformed babies to have a false elongated skull. although the saggital suture does not disappear after cranial deformation. lack of saggital suture is probably a genetic trait, and not something you can have just by cranial deformation. i remember some guy in bolivia checking out elongated skulls, and they dna tested them and saw that they are genetically different from the common human. there is a strong smear campaign against this. apparently they label all elongated skulls as cranially deformed skulls, and anyone who says otherwise is smeared as a crackpot

also, when it comes that sham zecharia. his mistranslation(which he did on purpose) of the word annunaki, ended up muddying the waters. annunaki were high born people, of nobility/royalty. not really aliens. in fact the word for otherworldy/ alien/ foreign is NOT annunaki. alot of major world leaders back in the day were always depicted to be bigger than average in body/head size. and "great in mind". even during medieval times, there were people of nobility who had larger than average heads, and were either natural, or cranially deformed. would be nice if actual study of these would be conducted instead of the scientific community continually smearing anyone who does not conform to the mainstream held beliefs. in previous decades, just the thought of neanderthals, existing in the past and/or how, they were absorbed into european and asian peoples was not always well accepted by the scientific community. that changed in recent years. i bet the "politically correct" nutjobs in the scientific community would be against this, more so that black subsaharans contain very little-to almost no neanderthal dna. and most successful countries that currently exist have around 1-2% neanderthal dna on their major ethnic groups.

I used to know a neanderthaler. Barrel-shaped, short and wide, huge nose, no chin. He was quick witted, a fast, but sloppy learner - could learn anything in fact, was multilingual, a man of many trades. His career had been diverse to say the least. He'd been a trucker in the US, helicopter pilot in Greenland and an entertainment singer and comedian (great voice, perfect pitch) Despite all this, he commanded no respect whatsoever and his intelligence was always hugely underestimated by everyone, initially by me as well. This, I believe, was due to two strange quirks: he spoke very fast, but with poor pronounciation and his mental associations went tangentially in all directions all the time to the extent that it was hard to fathom, what he wanted to convey. He never could keep a job and this was due to a completely uncontrollable love for booze. Once he got started, no moderation, no control! So you'll understand why I harbor this secret suspicion that neanderthalers succumbed to alcoholism as soon as they came into contact with farmers who knew how to ferment crops. 😉
